I thought I better update my blog with some pictures of Tony's graduation for everyone to see.

For those of you who don't know Joe and I just got back from Regina where we watched Tony (Joe's brother) graduate from the RCMP training camp. It was an event filled weekend and I have the pictures to prove it.

First of all the flight. We were excited about the plane ride to Regina because we were on a brand new plane and thought we would have the new in seat entertainment system. We thought wrong.



We arrived in Regina on Saturday only to find that Regina's 10 degrees is a lot colder then Kingston's 10 degrees. So off to the mall where both Joe and I bought jackets. Here is a picture of Joe in his new jacket. Pretty handsome guy!!!



Sunday was a church service and a wine and cheese. Here is a picture of Tony and his Uncle Bob after the church service. The Boy looks pretty snazzy in his uniform.



Monday was the big day. We started with the cadets being sworn in, the two guys sitting down did theirs in French.



Then a noon parade. That Tony sure can march.



We then had lunch and went over to see Tony get his badge and do a drill demonstration. The drill part was really cool, they worked hard and you could tell.



Last but not least was the grad dinner that night. Good food, good people, good times. Everyone is very proud of Tony. His Aunt and Uncle (Bob and Deb) and their kids Angela, Lisa and Paul were there along with Paul's girlfriend Laura and Lisa's boyfriend Russ. Joe's cousin Kim and her husband Dean also came in from Pierceland for the event.



It was a great trip and now after a brief stop at home Tony is off to Cochrane Alberta. Good Luck Boy.

I also stopped at the store they have at Depot and got what I am calling a "sibling bear" I have a bear already that says "I support Naturopathic Medicine" so now I also have an RCMP bear to sit with him. I have two siblings and now two bears that represent them in my home. I still find it hard to believe that the two goobers I love now have people listening to them and respecting them. Not that I don't respect them it's just I've seen them in the morning :)

Yeah I know it's only October and Christmas is two months away but I bought a decoration anyway.

We were making a holiday basket at work for the United Way silent auction and one of the girls brought in two snowmen. I thought they were the cutest thing and couldn't get over them. She had one more so I bought it off her because they were all sold out at Costco.

Here he is



See pretty cute huh.

Only 69 days until Christmas.

I knew writing that post about how warm it was here was a mistake.

Currently it is 11 degrees outside. burrr, I had to turn the heat on in the kitchen and our bedroom because we have the tv and everything in front of the living room heat. It is helping though... Must go grab sweater.

I think Joe and I will spend the day tomorrow moving the living room around so we can turn the heat on.

It's October 5th and we have a smog and humidex advisory. It's 27 degrees outside and I had to go get the fan. This wouldn't be a bad thing except fall weather is my favourite. I love nothing more then wearing jeans and a sweater. Oh well at least it's not snowing.

I don't know how it happened but today is October!!! Man this year has gone by so fast.

I went shopping today, needed some shirts for work and the jeans I wore yesterday were practically falling off so I needed to get some new ones... IN A SMALLER SIZE!! Nothing to drastic just one size down but it's still better then nothing right. So here is what I bought.

A pretty blue sweater, works with dress pants or jeans.



A pair of jeans


and two long sleeve shirts and some socks



Not a bad haul. I guess accepting fall is here is the first step, new clothes help :)
