Here is Miranda on Remembrance Day, solemnly pondering (no doubt) her great-grandfather Alfred's service to his country in WWII. The service at the cenotaph on Bowen was attended by hundreds, and Miranda's Montessori school was one of several community groups to lay a wreath. The day was stormy, and we headed home to enjoy the warmth of our newly-installed woodstove (which really came in handy in the ensuing two-day power outage--but why didn't we buy that generator? that's next on the wish list!)...We had a wonderful visit with Carmen, Peter and Wilson, then our neighbour Claire came over to see the new stove, and Cheryl and Raia joined us for a candlelit dinner later. On Monday, both my parents were here (Dad is recovering from post-operative complications from eye surgery). Did I mention we've put up the Christmas lights? (never too early...) Life is very full these days, so it's good to step back and feel thankful to those who (directly and otherwise) have made it all possible.
