Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

It's not supposed to snow when Halloween is just two weeks away. It is supposed to stay pleasantly mild until November 1st...so hopefully we'll get some snow here and there and it will melt away. Then it's time to get out the CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!!!!!

I can't wait this year to decorate...mainly because decorating and baking and getting ready for Christmas is something our family does together so it's tons of fun!!! Plus with the little ones getting older and understanding what's going on it makes it so much more fun!

Joe and I are heading out to camp next month with a group of people we went to Jamaica with last December...Charlene, Sherry and I ran the half marathon there, while our husbands waited at the finish line for us. When we were finished, we were one side of the fence, where the runners are fed banana's, cookies and drinks...coconuts which we drank straight from..and..well...Red Stripe Beer. Yes it was 8:15 am..but when in Jamaica...

The guys were also huge supporters, with their huge Canadian flag they held up as they cheered us on. It was great to have them there...until they asked for foot rubs because they had been standing for hours waiting for us to come back. Goofs.

We were called "the fun group" because I don't think very much time passed that we weren't laughing and having a great time in Jamaica!!!

We haven't seen them since so it will be a great Jamaica Reunion weekend!!! but there will be no half marathon.....



WATER COOLER CONVERSATION

Couples from around the world participated in a mass wedding ceremony, on Tuesday. The Unification Church organized the biggest mass wedding in a decade, a spectacle church officials said involved 40,000 people around the world.

The Discovery Channel claims the average family throws out over $600-worth of fruit per year. Most of the waste is due to spoilage; we're buying too much & using too little of it.

A new portrait by Leonardo da Vinci may have been discovered thanks to centuries-old fingerprint and palm print. A Montreal-based forensic art expert, said that a fingerprint on what was presumed to be a 19th-century German drawing of a young woman has convinced art experts that it's actually a Leonardo. Canadian-born art collector Peter Silverman bought "Profile of the Bella Principessa" at the Ganz gallery in New York on behalf of an anonymous Swiss collector in 2007 for about US$19,000. One London art dealer now says it could be worth more than US$150 million. If experts are correct, it will be the first major work by Leonardo to be identified in 100 years
