Signs and Switches

I can see signs of fall everywhere lately....

thru these clouds getting darker and darker since Thursday....

cravings for "hot and sour soup".....

The Saigon Garden, Vietnamese Restaurant in Parksville is one of our pride here in town. If you are grabbing a quick lunch, it's a go-to-place but you have to be there before noon to avoid the crowd. It fills up fast for office workers and families alike. Dinner is usually early since they close as early as 7pm. They have the best soup, "sweet and sour" with lemon grass which you can get in "combo" or "prawns" with vermicelli, my favorite.

back to school, back to Learning New Things, like this one....

with Shimelle, all is new. She's been teaching on-line classes for years but I joined this one just last year. I am aiming to finish this book and hope to do a daily post here this September. The transition from sunny days to this cloudy weather would do me good with an inspirational class like this. Come and join us, I promise you nothing but FUN and inspiration.

and I'm excited about this new class too....

with Cathy Zeilske, another one of my fave instructors and my first this year on this class, ME-The Abridged Version. And because September is a special month, it's my special gift to myself.....I can hear myself singing September morn, dadadadada.....is a brand new day....lalalalalalalala......and everytime, for the last three years, at least a week before it starts, I get into a panicky mode, filled with excitement, less sleep like right now, I've been up since 4 this morning. Can you tell?

....in romantic way, September morning makes me feel that way.....bec this one is our
                                THIRD YR. ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I didn't mean to scream at you but can you feel the energy? And his birthday too, my honey! hmm.....

good endings.... remember the Beach Fest? the summer heat?

It's officially over-

 for the fest, and last night was the 2nd weekend that we had a display of fireworks to say farewell...

new beginnings.....

here's me, right now, looking like this, 5 days a week, 6 hours a day every single day: putting a smile in front of everybody else; sometimes you can call it just playing my role at work but I'd like to think it's genuine for the most part. Changes? not much. Ageing? it's getting there and another year is almost over again. All I want to start this new month? A really good stylish haircut, relaxing facial, pedicure and manicure.
