Days of Gratitude - Day 36

 

I am grateful that outside is still great for my early morning walks.  Nothing is slippery and there is no ice.  Bit of snow has fallen but just a dusting.  I will take that as long as it stays this way.  

Oh, and in case you were wondering - Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup over Montreal 25 - 17.

It was a good game but Montreal just was not at their best and Saskatchewan was.

Days of Gratitude - Day 35

 

This is it - Grey Cup Sunday and I am grateful that we get to watch it.  This year it is in Winnipeg and I heard from a friend that she is going to be there.  I am excited for her for whether or not you are a fan of the CFL, the excitement is catching.

The other part is my tradition of writing my Christmas cards and getting them ready to go out on the 1st of December.  This year though the cards that will be sent are the smallest number yet and kept mostly to those of family that are not on-line much.  The other fun part is that I am happy whichever team wins.  I mostly hope the Eastern team wins but I do like the Western team too.

Daily Gratitude - Day 34

 

Today I realized how grateful I am for our little 2013 Chev Spark.  We got him used.  We call him Sparky.  This little guy only cost about $30 to fill him and the fill up lasts all month (including two trips to Brantford).  Most of the time he only needs a little TLC twice a year at tire changing time and he is good to go.

I think he is probably our last car and I do have to say he is one of our bestest ones we have ever had.
