12 pipers, 2 snares, 2 tom toms, and a bass drum all in a 1,500 Squarefoot (30 x 50) room full of people. That was Rememberence Day at the A.N.A.F today. It was beautiful, but our ears are ringing. I got the whole thing on video. When I have the disk full I'll put some of them up here. After we went to Second Cup where Mom was waiting, and we gave her her birhtday gift. Unfortunately she lost one of the sapphire earrings we got her for Mother's Day, but thanks to Bidz.com we were able to get her another pair. My step-dad has an earl pierced, so the remaining earring from the old set did not go to waste. Now we are back at home, but we're going back to the A.N.A.F at around 7:00 because the usual deejay is going to be back. He's the same guy who was there for Hallowe'en, and Octoberfest. I'm so glad Walker joined when he got up here. Mom was telling us about the Rememberence Day assembly in the school where she was working today. It's so nice that children are learning about the brave people who fought and died during past and present wars. What did everyone else do today for Nov. 11th?

It was beauty day for me but at 11am I paused for a moment of silence. Later that day I emailed a thank you to my best friend.He is a Brit but he is an ex sailor. He is the only Vet I know to date.

I stayed at home and taught the kids, we talked about Veterans Day and what it means, they are still young (9 and 6) so they aren't exactly sure what it all means.
