Costco tissue box with pale purple flower. The black pistil looks like a thick-bodied, multi-legged insect.

Dear Costco, Please don't use tissue box pictures that look like giant insects. Thanks!

We also got a Lindt calendar, and always enjoy it.
However, the day numbers get smaller every year, so I use a Sharpie, and write a large number on each door!

It's December 1st! Is your wish list ready?
Did you circle things in the catalogue, or write a list? #canada

a man in a suit and tie is walking down stairs Alt: a man in a suit and tie is walking down stairs, he slips, and grabs the handrail, to stop himself

Do you say "Hold the railing" or "Hold the banister"?
Be careful out there - it's the start of "slip and fall" season!

It's a lovely area! We had a cottage just past the Quebec border, and spent lots of time on Hwy 2. Many enjoyable weekend trips to Montreal/Ottawa too.

Black Friday Tip -- If you're shopping on Amazon, check product price history on CamelCamelCamel before you buy! This item was $27 for months, but now it's 82% off, based on list price of $99!
This is Canadian price history. At bottom of site, you can choose from Country list.

There's lots of traffic at the Detroit/Windsor border crossing. Maybe the Canadian visitors spread the word! And at least you know how to say "euchre"!

There was no escaping euchre where I grew up (Eastern Ontario)! The fancy people played bridge

Cribbage is a great game to start with. And if nobody left in a huff, play a different game!

Excellent choice! And there's always 2-handed euchre, if you don't have 4 players

There are lots of cold days ahead, which is perfect cribbage weather!

"Oh Grandpa, hold yer horses! I'm going as fast as I can!" And our grandkids don't like it, because of all the counting.

Ha! So much fun, especially if you beat her occasionally! We played lots of cribbage too, and it's time to dust off that board again

Which game would you choose - cribbage, euchre, or chess? There were always euchre tables at our long-ago family gatherings, and we played at university too! #canada #games

That's great for a book like this! And it was recent history (at least in my time measurement system!)

Yes, it was! And not what I usually choose, but glad I did.
