Happy Thanksgiving!

From our family to yours, we wish our Canadian friends a Thanksgiving filled with the warmth and happiness of the season. On this day, and every day, Russell and I are grateful for what we have...each other, good health, the comfort of a good home which so many don't have and all the little things that can easily be taken for granted. We are also so grateful to have Merlot and Sherlock in our lives. Those two little munchkins have brought us so much happiness. They are special in every way 💕 

This past week was good. The weather was nice for the most part but it is getting a tad cool. Although we are still spending some time on the deck, we have started transitioning into the living room. It is that time of year. I am also transitioning from wearing shorts to leggings 😆 

Russell is doing well. He got fitted with an APAP machine after being diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, following his pre-op tests mid-August. He has none of the symptoms so it came as a surprise. The use of the APAP will help maximize the flow of oxygen, which in turn will help make recovery from surgery that much easier.  Russell also met with his doctor following blood work he had done last week. His iron level is low so he is on an iron supplement. Otherwise, all is good and we are awaiting a date for surgery.

On Tuesday, we had an impromptu visit from Myriam. The boys were happy to see her. It was nice to catch up and brag about the escapades of our duo.

I had planned on doing some yard work but I got lazy. Maybe later this week. As Russell keeps telling me, the plants are not going anywhere LOL! 

Merlot and Sherlot are doing well. They are truly happy boys. Sherlock did good in class yesterday. Three of the dogs were rowdy but that didn't stop him from keeping his focus on me. I was quite pleased. 

I watched the HABS opener on Wednesday. I went to bed with a big smile on my face as we beat Toronto. I won't talk about the loss to Boston on Thursday but last night's game was close to perfect in every way. The HABS beat Ottawa, first time since March 19, 2022 👏

We will have turkey for dinner tonight. It is all prepped, waiting to go in the oven at 1 pm. It will smell good in the house. I think it will be the first time that our boys are exposed to the aroma of roast turkey...I wonder if they will like it 😋

I leave you with some random photos taken last week and one of Cooper & Spicy. We may not talk about them much but they are always in our hearts. Happy Thanksgiving friends! Have a wonderful week!

From our home to yours, Sherlock and
Merlot wish everyone Happy
Thanksgiving!

Ahhh...all the comforts of home!

Is it a new dance craze or a wrestling match...
only Sherlock and Merlot know for sure.
