Day 137: Little Mud on the Tires!

 I was able to head to Edmonton this past weekend...And well, I have been horrible at Blogging.  Sorry Family.  I will try to be better but life is just busy!

This past weekend I headed to Barrhead to stay at a friends place.  From there we headed to Edmonton on Saturday for a breakfast meeting with another friend, shopping, a movie, and a concert!  It was a great day.  By the time we got home we were exhausted.  And sleep felt so good.  The next morning we woke up to snow!  And you know what that means...this girl is allowed to listen to Christmas music!  I don't over due it but once and a while.  On Sunday I headed back home earlier then I originally though.  But didn't want to run into bad roads and just wanted to spend a quiet night at home.

Day 136: Oh Christmas!!!!

Look at what I seen in the store the other day!!!!  Now, I refrained from buying any because I always tend to buy to early and then regret it because they aren't quite as good as they are closer to Christmas.  I believe I like them for two main reasons.

1.  They are easy to grab and eat.  They peel easily.  They (on the most part) are sweet and juicy.

2.  It means the Christmas season is just around the corner.  Yep, that means in less then three months Christmas.  In less then two months my house gets decorated.  And well, the first snowfall Christmas music!!!

Yes, I love Christmas.  An amazing time of year to reflect on our Saviors birth.   God's Son!  The man who would later save us from our sin.  Who took our punishment so we can have eternal life.

Thank you Lord for your amazing gift!!

Day 135: New Plant!!

My one Aunt has an amazing green thumb!  And well, she is in the middle of house renovations and I guess must have wanted to narrow down her plants.  She has always known I have admired her ability to have plants grow like nothing else.  The beautiful Ivy is from her.  Now my job...to keep it living!!!

Thanks to my dad who help hang it and find it a place to live.

Day 134: Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

I have always loved counting my change.  It probably is the financial person in me but there is something about a jar full of change quickly adding up.

The other night I was watching some of the new season premiers and thought I should roll that change of mine up.  I ended up having over $240.00 in change.  Amazed at how fast those quarters add up.

I have started in the past couple of years rolling my loose change and putting it into a US account.  This way when I travel I have my spending money ready to go!!

Day 133: Mmmm Kahlua Cream Pie!!

My Aunt from Port Alberni has been able to visit for a couple of weeks here this fall.  Yes, this is the same Aunt that I was able to spend time with this supper.

She hasn't seen my house yet and she very much wanted to see my house...and I would like to think me as well.  So last Tuesday I was able to have my Aunt and my mom for supper.  Made spaghetti and corn.  Mom brought garlic bread and this amazing pie!
