19 years ago today, a tiny town in Newfoundland took in 6,700 airline passengers stranded during the September 11th attack. Gander, Nfld, has 6 traffic lights and a population of less than 13,000. They opened their homes and hearts to complete strangers, in their most painful hour. Its what Canadians do.

To all the families affected by this tragic event.

Things To Do To Get Ready for Fall 1) Clean the gutters. 2) Wash the windows inside and out. 3)Order Firewood. 4) Clean Chimney... 5) Make a batch of chili. 6) Buy spicy scented candles.

Jack. Plaid. 11) Replace beer in fridge with whiskey in liquor cabinet. 12) Put outdoor cushions away while they’re dry. 13) Make a list of the indoor jobs you want to get done before spring. Like binge watching Downton Abbey. Again. 14) Good bye ferns, hello mums. 15) Pull out the big, fluffy duvet. 16) Surround every inch around your house with yard bags and watch as the leaves fall right into them. 17) Throw away your razors. It’s hairy season. 18) Cover up your outdoor air conditioning unit. 19) Empty any ceramic or clay pots outside that are too large to bring indoors. If you don’t they’ll freeze and crack. 20) Book an appointment to have your winter tires put on. 21) Sign up for a fall class. I’m leaning towards yodelling. 22) Make some healthy delicious baked apples, then feed them to someone else and eat an entire pumpkin pie with whipped cream yourself. 23) Plant your spring bulbs like tulips, crocus and daffodils. 24) Wanna be the hit of the street for Halloween? You’d better start figuring that shit out now. Here’s inspiration. 25) Throw away those 3 dead plants you bought in the spring and never planted. 26) Can, can, can. Tomatoes, peaches, chili sauce, hot peppers, pickles. 27) Ask an elderly or single neighbour if they need help with anything. 28) Kids preventing you from getting stuff done? Send them out to play and tell them not to come home until they have at least one bruise. 29) Clean out your fridge to make room for the winter cheeses. 30) Buy a puzzle. See more

Canadians are the best. August 21, 1980 Terry Fox was resting near Marathon, Ontario when Reg Essa, the OPP officer accompanying him at the time, realized that the road he had to run down next was under construction. Essa was worried about Terrys ability to run on gravel and so he asked the construction workers if anything could be done. When they heard that the favour was being asked for Terry Fox, they worked through the night to pave the road, ensuring that it was safe for Terry to run on by the next morning.

6 Ideas for the Ultimate Backyard BBQ. What better way to spend a summers day than at an al-fresco backyard barbecue? Here are some ideas for throwing the ultimate backyard shindig this season. 1. Choose a Theme: Everybody loves a theme, and backyard parties really lend themselves to outdoorsy conceptsthink Hawaiian luau, rustic campsite or beach clambake. The advantage of a theme is that it can help you narrow down ideas for menus and dcor. Its also the perfect excuse to step up your party outfit: Hawaiian shorts or long, floral dresses would be ideal for a luau; a clambake theme cries out for cropped pants or a navy-striped dress paired with espadrilles. http://ow.ly/3tyf50B4TSu

A little clarification on social circles. Your social circle is made up of those you live with and those you choose to be part of the circle.
