Today is NOT Garbage Day

Like many other communities, we have a rotating garbage day. That means that every time there is a holiday,garbage day moves. For example, we had Fridays until Canada Day and now it's on Mondays. We'll have Mondays until BC Day when it'll move to Tuesdays, etc. Very simple. I understand that perhaps it catches those people who came from condos/apartments where a garbage pickup day is inconsequential, and I know some areas the day stays the same. In fact, for years my father and I would play a game to see who could remind the other "Garbage Day Tuesday!" I would yell it through the mail slot if I was visiting on a Monday, or phone him to catch him off guard - and vice versa. But it's not just one person, it's many, many people who don't seem to know this.

JP just laughs at me, he doesn't get why I bring it up - at all. Frankly I'm not sure either, other than wondering if we have that many new people or if that many people are just clueless...

And now, just so I can post a photo today, here's the lastest embroidery I was working on - I just need to finish the "a" (I know, I know, but the pizza came and I never got back to it last night)

Tomorrow is our one year wedding anniversary and I'm not sure how we'll spend it so you'll have to wait until Sunday to find out. What do you do for your anniversaries?

Happy Anniversary! Have a great time. I do like that little poodle embroidery.

We usually go out for dinner and a movie...boring anniversary stuff, but I do love a casual night out. This year's a big one - 10 years, so maybe we'll do something big? I dunno yet.
