I had planned to go to church this weekend, but decided to hibernate yesterday. Although the temperatures did go above freezing, but there was freezing rain. The new washer and dryer arrived and they are amazing. I didn't seem to be stuffing a load in and there are 2 rinse cycles on the washer. L and I ate apple fritter doughnuts from Tim Horton's on Saturday and loved them so much, M got some more yesterday. I hadn't had one for awhile so maybe that's why they tasted extra good. We chose those because we read that they are one of the more healthy kinds of doughnuts.
L and K go on Xmas break at the end of the week. L is giving gifts to 7 of her teachers, as it's her final year of high school. The Olympic flame is in town and will be at various venues this week. M decided to mail some Olympic t-shirts to some relatives in the U.S. as a Christmas gift. It's funny how he's all caught up on the Tiger Woods gossip, just because he's this sports icon. Normally, he's never that aware of all the scandals going around.
Oh, one of the friends we had dinner with on Friday had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. Her husband gave her this beautiful diamond ring encircled with smaller diamonds. Wow, she was really happy with that.

Surprising the interest in Tiger Woods. I'm alarmed that this story makes the top of the News on TV each night.
ReplyDeleteSomehow our priories are seriously skewed.
Linda and I hope to catch a glimpse of the Olympic Torch when it arrives. Now that I can get behind.
That is exciting that the torch is going to be close by, I think we get it near the end of this week.
ReplyDeleteYour kids get off early for break The girl has to go until next Tuesday, I am so not telling her about your two!! :o)
Oooooooooo.... I'd be happy with that gift also.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new washer and dryer. We need to get a new dryer someday soon, too. I just hate having to make the decision on which one.
Oooo, a new washer AND dry AND you got apple fritters too?! Luckeee :-)
ReplyDeleteRoxi is done on Friday as well. I know we all will be happy to have a bit of a break. It's hard to believe Christmas is next week!
SoccerMom, Tuesday sounds awfully close to Xmas, they're not getting much time off.
ReplyDeleteKay, it might be a good idea to start shopping now, once it breaks, you typically have to get one really fast. Sort of like a refrigerator, I think.
Japra, we decided to get a matching washer as well, the other one was also quite old, if not broken. Is Christmas really next week? It has come fast.
Barry, I hope you get to see the torch and that it's not too cold to be out that day.
