Good morning everyone.  For the second time this month our internet and phone was down for days.  Bell came out yesterday after noon and everything seems to be hunky dory again.

Tanya I fell Jasper's pain with the cold.  Barb I went to the Remembrance Day service at the cemetery where my relative is buried and I was shocked when I got there and there was a small Canadian Flag on every grave and tons of flowers in piles.  It was after about 20 minutes I understood.  The Canadian soldier would was shot guarding the cenotaph in Ottawa was buried just a few rows from my relative two weeks ago.  Everyone had a tear in their eye, and many were hugging each other.

Tanya my quest to take over the warm pool continues, and all was going according to plan until yesterday when we had a new instructor and she told me to stop jogging and making waves and to plant my feet and work on stretching.  I told her that I wanted to keep my cardio up while I was stretching.  She said I belonged in the cold pool in a cardio class.  NOBODY puts baby in the cold pool.

I began 10 years ago planting small Cdn flags at all the cemeteries in my area.  I used to order them from a flag warehouse that gave me a great deal when I told them the reason.  I remember police stopping their cruisers to help my DH and I with the planting.  it was very emotional - The Spec put a great picture in the paper about 5 years ago of the design we did at the war memorial in the Woodlawn in Burlington.

I stopped 2 years ago when it just got too expensive - glad to see someone has picked up the tradition.  Eventually my whole family came out to help with this project - we went to 3 cemeteries in our area and did all the war tombstones. 

I don't say this to brag - its was just important to me as so many in my family were in the military.  My parents were both involved in WW2 as were all my uncles - it was my favorite project of the year.

I couldn't do the warm pool for cardio....I would sweat!  But I do remember how cold you can get when losing - the warmth would feel wonderful

Barb, that is incredibly awesome. I can't imagine the families' reactions to the flag designs at their loved ones' tombstones, knowing their service will not be forgotten. Beautiful.

"NOBODY puts baby in the cold pool."

I do not like doing cardio in a cold pool. My body warms up with the exercise then I get the chills from the cold water. I would stick to the warm pool.

Good morning!  It looks like it's going to be a pretty but chilly day here in Ottawa today.  Finally dug out my warm coat and it's a freaking TENT on me.  Looks like there's a Value Village trip in my future.

Today's Noms ...

Breakfast:  Special K Protein cereal and skim milk

Lunch:  Leftover roasted chicken and some salad

Snack:  Kay's Naturals protein pretzel sticks

Dinner:  Out with friends, so I'll have to study the menu and see what good choices can be made.

Have a great day, everyone!

TES, I love studying menus of planned restaurant visits. It's great going in so prepared. Of course, I always get sideswiped by "daily specials". lol

Morning all :)

Tanya, your shortbread sounds incredible - lavender, rosemary walnut... oh my. Decadent.

My Heartland excursion was derailed yesterday so trying again today. It's also my bestie's birthday and we have a get together planned at the pub (surprise!) so have to pick up the cake and go and decorate later this afternoon. No cooking today, lots of leftovers/prepared yummy stuff. I'll pass on the cake - just not my thing. I may do up a small cheese/cracker/pickle/olive tray for the other cake-haters. lol  OH, and it is freakin' COLD out there and thus begins my "season of miserable".
