Talking about age?

We have often touched on this topic of age haven't we - wonder why? It is precisely what you both mentioned - realizing the age of the children! I look back and wonder where all the years have gone as well, and then look at what life is today and think that we are all still going strong, after all. As long as I don't look into the mirror too often, I'm OK haha!
Busy few days basically "running the roads" but hoping today will be an at home day and perhaps get things accomplished. Went to Kirkland Lake on Monday and although a very pleasant visit with Harry's brother and sister in law, it was nevertheless a very long day with driving. We left at 5 am and arrived just after 8:30 am so made good time but the light was slow in coming up over the horizon, and the roads were masked with fog most of the way. Looking out for wild life - moose - was a pain but that stretch of highway is notorious for animals strikes. Yesterday we went to Huntsville as usual and did a lot of shopping to store up. Lots of good sales such as 10 lb bags of onions, carrots, beets for only $1.99 each. When i cam home I spent some time trying to organize the fridge as there is much fruit and veg to manage. To make more space, I ended up making juice with the grapes that we picked off our own vines - I can use this for smoothies etc.
The neighbour ( Ruth) and her husband are flying to Vernon. BC on Thursday to visit with daughter for Thanksgiving. She asked me to look after her rabbit she has in a cage in the shed - another lady is coming from South River to care for it but Ruth asked if I could also keep an eye and change the bedding and water and veg in the cage. What??? I was too shocked to say anything  so i guess i will be rabbit sitting for a about 10 days. Also to make things even more interesting, our two adult budgies have been at it again and there is one new egg just layed, and if things go as per usual practice I guess she will be laying one egg every two days now. Time to move the little chick out into its own cage I think.  I don't remember signing up for all this extra "animal care" . The rabbit is also expecting babies and Harry asks what if it has babies while they are gone - what are you going to do? Simple answer is nothing! These people bring up rabbits in order to eat them - they are not pets but instead food. They have offered us rabbit meat in the past and we have declined. 
On with the day.... and I wonder what sort of adventures will be in store.  How about you folks?  Do you have any special plans for Thanksgiving. Take care
