$5 Christmas Tree


Yesterday Ray and I visited Mom and Andy in the thriving metropolis of Neuhorst, SK. We were in luck, Mom was making homemade macaroni and cheese! Mmm, so yummy. As usual, we were given parting gifts for the road...peppers, vegetables, and a christmas tree that Mom had picked up from a garage sale. This tree is one of those old timers with the white stuff stuck on it to make it look nice and wintery, and I am very, very excited about it. It just got me thinking about how blessed that Ray and I have been since our wedding, to have God provide so much for us through gifts and the kindness of friends. Very rad tree. When we get it set up in December (possibly November if Ray lets me), I hope to post a picture of it.
By the way, Ray and I went canoeing a few weeks ago (as you can see in the pic) at The Thiessen Weekend at Greenwater Lake. I was very excited, it was my first time canoeing...ever!!! I know, deprived, but now I would really like to go again, its so peaceful, plus it requires very little to no lower body movement, which means my hip says, "Thumbs up, Let's go!" And in case you are wondering, Ray and I did not coordinate our outfits, it was an accident. No intended "Samesies".

November 1st! That's what I like to hear...just curious about something related to blogging, how does one add a list of peoples to their blog? Because I would like to just click on our pals, and go to their blog.

Yes, I know, it has been a long time. So after I composed myself from the offence of that comment, I wrote a new post :).
