Good-Bye November

 We had a nice walk at Willband this morning.  At one point literally hundreds of Canada Geese took off from the lake and flew overhead. What an experience! We saw about 20 swans as well.

Sheila had a lovely birthday tea here with  Eldest and Youngest joining us.  .
She's on holidays and her partner took the day off so they could celebrate. In the evening they went somewhere ( I forget where) and she posted these pictures. They go to the most interesting places which we could also except that we don't like driving at night any more. Since "night" begins around 4 PM that limits us.

 

 

Today is our 61st anniversary and tomorrow the family will come to help us celebrate.  I'm baking a couple of cakes and I actually bought a cheesecake when we did our shopping. Usually I make one but I thought we'd try a bought one. I'll let you know how we liked it.

I needed a box of Jello instant pudding for a certain recipe. I don't usually buy such,  preferring to make a homemade cooked pudding but the recipe called for it..... I was horrified to read the list of ingredients. 
INGREDIENTS:  sugar, modified corn starch,cocoa, disodium phosphates, tetrasodium phosphate, artificial and natural flavors, corn starch, salt, modified palm oil, modified  vegetable oil,  tanium doxide, mono- and diglycerides, ,allura red, tartazine, brilliant blue FCF.
Needless to say that I won't be buying this product again.

So we say Good-bye to November and move right into December and Advent. Have a lovely Sunday.

Thanks for visiting
