We were off to the reserve for our monthly fill up and hubby's smokes too. The gas was nearly 15 cents cheaper a litre and I won't eve touch the difference between hubby's monthly purchase as it is completely mind-blowing. Yes, hubby has cut back a lot on his habit, I don't think it will go much less but I am not going to harp one way or the other.
As you might know in my previous post I got my hair trimmed once more. I like to keep it off the hearing aids because having my hair brush them can be annoying. My hairdresser and I were chatting this time about tea, finding out that both of us prefer tea over coffee. 
Loving the morning walks once more
On the way back from the hairdresser I stopped at the offices of the Naturopathic doctor and booked an appointment, I have a feeling it is the right thing to do as they had a cancellation and I am seeing them this coming week. I also checked into the tax office and asked about how long until I get the final papers for mom's estate. It is still a normal wait. Sometimes they are quick and some times take forever. I may call her lawyer and ask to close her stuff with them and if anything should come up and I really doubt it will I can handle it on my own. After all it has been 2 years since she past.
And grateful? Oh, I am grateful for the friendships of the saints. I know that might sound strange to some who don't know them like I have in my life. Between their writings, biographies and their prayers and help in my life they are like a huge family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. They are always there to help if one but asks.
Enjoy your weekend!
I like it... saints as family. I went to public schools in the US, but an interesting factoid is that in our town (I don't know how wide-spread this is) text books were shared between the Catholic and the Public (secular) schools. My particular history class in grade 10 or 11 (I forget which year) had a mixed collection sent to us, and the teacher ended up with the Catholic version, that included a lot of sidebar material about the saints.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, those of us who did NOT get handed a Catholic text book were quite unprepared when some of the questions on the first test were from that side material. Something I still smile about, over 50 years later. And it made me aware that the selection of material presented can change one's view of the world, too.
It really can. I found out that the history books we had were totally different from the ones my hubby had and it was in the same province just different areas. He was closer to the Quebec border and I was closer to the States border. We compared notes a lot. St. Anthony has always been a close part of my family since I worked at the school named after him. His statue has popped up so many unexpected places that I knew he is keeping an eye out. Thanks for stopping by.
