Remember

I am so very grateful for the efforts of the armed forces of Canada in keeping my country free. Remembrance Day ceremonies make me cry. I am always overwhelmed the few days leading up to it too. This year a Soldier that went to school down the street had just passed away in Afganastan at 23. Being a Mom of two young men makes watching the Silver Cross Mother place her wreath very heart wrenching. One of my sons' good friends is in the process of entering the reserves. I wish him well and pray that he along with those who serve with him are kept safe.

Thank you for Standing on Gaurd.

BOO BOO and buttons

I was hitting Garage Sales with DH two weeks ago and when we got home I could barely lift my rt leg. Some how I strained something. It felt numb and alittle achey. I went to the MD and he told me to ice and put it up and to keep up doing as much as I could.... Friday I felt great.

I noticed an ad on kijiji for buttons. Turned out that an older lady that had worked at the acution Mart was downsizing and I purchased her whole collection of Buttons. Oh my there are some nice military buttons, carved shell and glass ones. There are many vintage plastic and bakelite in all colours and many patterns.

Three days of sorting with bent knees and I am not done yet. However I have to stop sorting for a while as my leg is now killing me. Oh how could I be so stupid... I will post some photos soon.

It is a very large collection.... not sure just yet what I am going to do with it all yet...
