This last weekend was so nice.

John and I started the weekend by visiting a local farm and buying some pumpkins. I decided that we were going to have some fun and carve pumpkins this year.

The farm was great and they had all the animals out, I got to get up close and personal to some cows. But the highlight of the visit was seeing some piglets, the mother was nursing them all and then she decided to sit down and relax. Since their food source was now gone, they were all oinking so loud. I felt bad for the poor little ones, but I feel even worse for the Mom pig trying to feed 8 little piglets!

Yesterday we went to downtown Toronto to see Cats!

  I know that John did not enjoy the play as much as I did. But I loved it and I enjoyed every minute of the singing and dancing. Now of course "Memories" is still going through my head and has been all day long.

After the play we walked down the street to a cafe THE RED TOMATO, it was listed under places to eat in the Programme (how they spell it in Canada) for Cats! John and I decided it looked good, it is Italian with an Asian influence. John and I both decided it was the best dinner we have ever had. We are going back to the same theatre next month to see Sweeney Todd, so we are already counting down the days we can go visit that restaurant again.   

So, I have some good news regarding employment. I have been offered full time employment for the online University that I was working for while I lived in Utah.

A full time position as an Alliance Advisor came open, and I am so excited about the opportunity. I can work with the wonderful people I did while I was in Utah, and I can stay home and maybe start a family sooner than I thought. :)

So for now, I have given up trying to find a job in Canada. I never realized it would be such a trying experience. I assumed everyone in Canada would want to hire me. But honestly, I like the idea of working at home better. So maybe I will never "work" in Canada. :)

I have begun this quest to see every movie that Bette Davis has made. From the wonderful influence of my mom, I have developed a love for classic movies. Bette Davis is my all time favorite.

If you have not seen anything that Bette Davis has been in, I recommend the following movies:
Now, Voyager.
Stolen Life
Catered Affair
All About Eve
Dark Victory
There are so many more, but start with these. I promise you will not be disappointed.
