Thanksgiving Baking | Halifax, NS Photography

Canadian Thanksgiving - or as we call it, Thanksgiving - was this past weekend and I got to do some baking.


Wait.  Stop laughing!  

You're right... I didn't do any baking.  I got to watch while others did the baking.  You're not surprised, I know.  My idea of baking is calling up my Aunt Brenda and begging her to help me make cookies for Dy's Annual Cookie Party.  Brenda does all the mixing and preparing of the ingredients and then lets me cut the cookie dough and place it on the baking sheet.  At least it helps ensure I don't poison anyone. :-)


Back to this weekend's baking - we celebrated Shelly and Randy's first anniversary with some baking.  This is just a tease of what's to come...

Giving Thanks in Halifax, NS

Whew!  It's Thanksgiving Weekend and there are countless things to be thankful for.

I admit, there are times I forget how lucky I am - but I am one of the lucky ones.  I have family and friends around me who love and support me no matter what.  I have a roof over my head and someone I love to share it with me.  

I am blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving; enjoy your weekend; hug someone.





:-)

Apple Picking in Wolfville, NS

I didn't actually pick any apples, or even eat any, but I did get to hang out with these fine folks...

Life is busy - sometimes you need to stop and take in a sunset...

The Kiwi Cafe | Chester, Nova Scotia

I love heading to the South Shore if I get a chance.  It doesn't happen often, but I made it there twice this year.
 It's a nice little village situated on the water and the weather's always warm and sunny... of course, I only go on warm sunny days - I'm sure it snows there, too, but I'll never see it :-)

I'm usually only there a few hours, long enough to wander around, stop into a shop or two, and have a bite to eat.  What's a road trip without food?  I've discovered a favourite place to stop for a bite while I'm there:  The Kiwi Cafe.  It's cozy, to say the least (tables are at a premium), but the staff always have a friendly smile and the food, ahhhh the food... so good.  

Wait.  Let me clarify.  I've found my go-to meal.  The one I've tried that I know will be delicious so I ordered it the next time I was there.  I assume the other items on the menu are equally as good, but for me, I'll stick with the tried and true, the delicious, the Tuscan Chicken Panini.



Jason had the spinach salad.  



He looooooved it.  Then he tried my panini.  Next time he'll get the panini, too.  If you're heading to Chester, stop in for a bite; you won't be disappointed.  Check out their website here.

I love Google searches... | Halifax, NS

... especially Google searches that end up with you here.  On my little blog.  However you arrived, I am happy you're here.  Have a look around, say hello, tell you're friends.  

Come back often - I promise, there will be something new to look at next time you stop in!  Unless you stop in again tomorrow.  But soon, come back soon!
