Remembrance Day & Veterans Day

Today its Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the US.
Remembrance Day – Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war.

Halloween in my neighborhood

Every year the week or two before Halloween there is this one house in my area that decorates for Halloween.

We actually got to know them over the years from the time Michael was very little. They are a great family and Michael got to know their youngest daughter really well. Although she is double Michael’s age he really likes her. She is a great friend to Michael.

These pictures were taken in the day time as you can see only because I haven’t been able to go over in the evening. Hoping to do another post on Halloween night with the night pictures.


They are brothers Brad and Brent that decorate the front of Brent’s yard and its called the Smitheman Family Haunted Yard. They have been doing it for the past 5 years. (Although I thought it was longer)
Every year through the Haunted Yard they raise money for the Montreal Chapter of the Starlight Children’s Foundation. They have raised as much as $12,000.
I have to tell you the pictures don’t do it justice they have all kinds of creepy and spooky things in the yard. To let you know how creepy and scary it is last year on Halloween night Michael actually went into the yard and half way up the front stairs to get a Halloween treat. The first year he wouldn’t even go past the picture #3’s fence and gradually he has made his way.

The funny part is that Michael knows whats in the yard because he has helped them out and he knows who everyone is.

If you are in the Montreal area and want to check this out its 116 Maywood in Pointe Claire.

We will never forget…

9/11, September 11 MySpace Comments and Graphics

There is no words to express how raw in emotion this day still is me and I am sure to all my readers. Its a day that we will never forget and it changed the world forever.

Can you remember what you were doing that morning? I can as it feels still like it was only yesterday. No knowing what was going on and who was doing it was pretty scary.

To many innocent and braves lives were lost on that day and are still being lost. Lets remember those people and the ones who continue to risk their lives for us so that we can be safe and free.
