oh deer - november 12th

this is at my aunt and uncle's home... look how close the deer come.

reconnecting in moncton - november 11th

look at all that snow!

here is my friend shannon from high school, and her bf dave. i hadn't seen shannon in about 10 year, and thanks to good ol' facebook, we reconnected. it was such a nice visit - waaaaaay too short! so invited her to come visit me in ottawa. it was great - it felt as though no time had passed (except the obvious changes like being married or having a degree). that's the true test of friendship. 10 years can pass and you wouldn't even know it.
here's jon, also from highschool - also a reconnect from facebook. He helped Kamécha make a snow man. He promptly crumbled once we were all inside.
Tammy's daughter Kamécha. Tammy is Shannon's sister. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of her - wtf!
there were drawing lessons - here is Kaméchas' version of vache. my brother - in't he adorable?
for supper.... chinese food at the buffet in fredericton.

to market, to market... and to amherst - november 10th

saturday morning was market day at boyce's farmers' market

honeycrisp apples... mmmmmm!
woolsmoke woolworks - look at all of those hats! here are her patterns. unfortunately, i couldn't wait, so i bought one. here is the author of the patterns wearing the hat i bought.
and this is a photo of me taken by a local photographer and posted at justfred.ca. it happened so fast i didn't get to snap a picture of her.
the line up for samosas....

heading to amherst.... this is just past moncton. look at that... SNOW!! wait, it gets worse.

my uncles' remote control. he assures me they no longer lose it in the cushions. my father's beer for scale.

see.... worse! bleh.

fredericton - november 9th

first stop, dollarama - where i found this: yes, ladies and gentlemen, they sell pregnancy tests at the dollar store.
we stopped at the local yarn / sewing machine store. i picked up two skeins of habacho to make socks for my mummy. (shade #301)

lunch was indian food at chez riz.... delicious!
a church
a building

one of four frenchy's visited. i brought home a ton of fantastic finds. it took a garbage bag to hold the purchases from the frenchy's in amherst. it took a carboard box to get the finds home. and all of them wearable - i only got one sweater to take apart - 100% cashmere - in pink - 3$. woot!

heading to fredericton (novmeber 8th)
