R.I.P. : The Tank

Well it has been months without any updates so it is time you were filled in on the latest news. I'll try to be brief.

Jennifer is back from her veterinary excursion in Petawawa which she was a little bittersweet for her to see end, but she will be starting her brand-spanking new position with a Kitchener small animal practice in the following week. Sadly she came back minus her late, great car, "The Tank". While I was up visiting her a few weeks ago, she must have been blinded by love because she drove through a stop sign into the back end of another vehicle. Luckily everyone was unharmed, but her vehicle met it's end. A 1995 Civic is not worth spending 2000$ to repair. So I gave her "Civvie", my car, to drive around as I take the bus everywhere anyway. So if anyone was thinking of getting her a car for Christmas the timing is perfect.

She is happy to be home though, I think and she went to see her fat horse (her word not mine) today. I made her eggplant parmigiana and stuffed pork roast for her welcome home dinner last night. But in turn she will be helping me make the time consuming empanadas for a pot luck I will be attending Thursday.

The best news is that we plan on coming home, weather permitting, on the 22 and returning to Kitchener on the 29. I won't bore you with details of how school and teaching is going, suffice to say I am content.

Oh, and here are pictures of the pumpkins we carved for halloween. Jenn's is the wolfman and mine turned out looking like some kind of ape.
