Heaven Is Real

The past few days many of my friends on Facebook have been commenting or posting photos of Orioles.  I had not seen one myself and was quite envious, as they are such beautiful unique birds.  Well....

I was shocked this morning when one landed on our deck.  Unfortunately I was not quick enough to get a "good" photo of it, but I was quick enough to put a feed and food out at the sighting.  I haven't had a bird yet ... geesh.

Today was the day my friend Pari and I were going to the Port Elgin Cinema's Matinee to take in the Move, Heaven is Real.  I first had to attend to some Crabby Cabbie business while down that way (no surprise there).

I had first stopped into Harringtons in Southampton where Loose Leaves is located as Joleen had ordered me in some Pumpkin Tea I was picking up.  Next stop was Lord Elgin's Fish & Chips in Port Elgin.  Lunch was soooo good !  We then had time for a very quick stop in at the Dollar Store before getting to the Cinema for the 1:30 pm matinee.

Heaven Is Real is an  AMAZING movie, a take off from its book form.  I cried throughout about half of it, as it was that touching and real.  I would recommend this movie for those of us who enjoy a heartfelt "real" story.  I am already looking forward to us going back for another Monday afternoon Matinee at the Port Elgin Cinema.

It was a great day spent with a great friend, who I love going out with.

Back home reality set in with feeding puppies and letting Aussies out and in.  Did I also mention my husband today? he had a bowl of cereal for his dinner tonight, the poor dear.

What A Great Day !!!

I love the Sunshine, and this morning it was -25 and Sunny.  The Sun however is not always my friend, as you can tell by the amount of dust on my dining room table in the first two photos.  But after a bit of Polish with everything put back as is, I got to enjoy it "dust free" for about the first hour today, as the Sun shone all day long.  Thanks goodness nobody can see the rest of my furniture as the dust is much thicker then what was on my table .... oh my !

I picked up my neighbour, Pari, this morning as she wanted to take me out for lunch today, as my Birthday is tomorrow.  We first stopped in Sauble Beach for my 10:30 am appt. with the Chiropractor before heading down the shoreline road Southampton way.

I am always amazed when I come across Wild Turkeys, as I love watching their antics.  Such funny funky looking characters are they not?

We made our way through Southampton over to Port Elgin where we had a bit of a shop before Lunch.  After the shop I had called my Auntie Gladys who was going to meet up with us.

The Fish & Chips at the Lord Elgin Restaurant in Port Elgin does have about the best Fish & Chips (in my case baked potato).  Auntie had the Fish on a Bun, Pari had Fish & Shrimp with a Baked Potato, and I had All You Could Eat Halibut with Baked Potato (4 nicely sized pieces of Halibut that were melt in your mouth and so flakey).

It hadn't ended at the Fish, as Pari had snuck in a Tiramisu Cake she had picked up at Walmart, and had the Waitresses not only serve it to me, but sing "Happy Birthday" too !  Thank you Pari for such a wonderful outing today, and thank you Auntie for being part of it.

Once lunch was over, Auntie went on our way while Pari and I stopped at the Dollarstore, and in Southampton at Harringtons to check out if Loose Leaves had any Pumpkin Tea.  Alas they only had Pumpkin with Fruit that I did not care to try.  We gassed up the vehicle ready for its day of work tomorrow, then headed on home.

Pari not only treated me for lunch & cake, she also gave me this gift.  I was going to open it, however Rob said wait until tomorrow so I will actually have a gift to open on my Birthday., since he gave me the camera early.  Of course I will wait until tomorrow, but still it is hard to wait.

I can not believe I did not get home until after 4 pm.  Honest to goodness Pari and I were talking how slow time goes when we do something we do not care to do, however when we are out having a good time it just flies by us ..... isn't that the truth !!!

If nothing else today got done other then my dining room table dusted, the bed made, dishes done up and a nice hot shower, I had a Great Day out with my friend, Pari, and an awesome visit with my Auntie.

Pari had said to Rob he will have to serve me up breakfast in bed tomorrow, Rob's answer was, "Cindy doesn't eat in bed" ... I guess he gets out of that one, does he not !
