      Hey we had frost last night! Got up and out for a nice brisk walk about the neighbourhood exploring like I enjoy. So peaceful at this time of the day even in the city. A few people walking their dogs. With this cold weather it's really telling us that we soon need to head south, only 9 more days !

yup we had frost 

even frost on the houses too

nice fall colours in town too

          This is a "traffic calmed neighbourhood" they have speed humps every 1/2 a block or so makes people slow down, reminds me of the "topes" in Mexico. They are very effective really makes traffic slow down or ruin your vehicle.

         During my walkabout across the crunchy frosty grass you can see my footprints below.

They even have wildlife, squirrels everywhere

     Shortly after 9 am we decided to hop in the car and drive an hour to go visit my Mom in her  longterm care home in Lindsay for a Thanksgiving visit before we hit the road.

a nice country drive

       My sister, b-i-l, and brother were there as well, we had a wonderful visit with ma and shared some nice gluten free chocolate cake and coffee.

was nice to see every one  again

      Left there about one and back to daughter's house for the afternoon. Got to spend some very nice quality time with her and a bit with the grands as well. A nice relaxing afternoon.
      My son brought me a bottle of this salt below, infused with very hot Ghost Peppers. Even though I have cut salt from my diet, it is amazing only about 4 grains is needed to really heat up a dish.

amazing "hot Salt"

      We hung out for the afternoon and enjoyed some fairly warm outside temps.

      She had put on a pork rib roast for supper and was done to perfection.

       We enjoyed a very tasty pork dinner with veggies, rice, stuffing, cranberries, salad and some pork gravy.

oh yeah was wonderful,
she is a great cook too

       We chatted with them after supper and the grands, Grand-daughter was reading us some of her homework in French, She is doing very well for 7 years old, She is in French Emersion at school, very handy to learn hear in Canada.

     That was it for another fun day, visiting with the rest of our family so much fun.
