Sunday Song

I love this version of the Simon and Garfunkel song, very different.  I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.  So here is the original version as well.

Costco trip and a couple of deals........

 Went to Costco on Friday.  I haven't been in a couple of weeks, so had to get/spend more than I normally would.

The bill included a pack of 4 golf gloves for hubby, which do have to go back, so that would put my total at around $100 for the groceries.

The pack of muffins are a super buy at 2 packs for $10.99  The muffins are that big that I have to cut them in half.

I wrap them in cling wrap and freeze them, so we get 24 for the price of 12 and they are really nice.

Popped into Walmart and they had this bag of leeks on clearance.

I find leeks expensive over here, so rarely buy them.  After I cleaned them up, I had this lot left.  Popped them in my Tupperware Fridgesmart container and will use them up later in the week.  By the way The Fridgesmart sets are on sale at Tupperware at the moment.  I love mine.

Also saw this big bag of bananas on clearance.

I was surprised how good they were when I got them all out of the bag.

Good thing we like bananas!!

Did you get any good deals this week?

More books I have read.........

I have read these three books over the past couple of weeks.  All were really good and I would recommend them.  I have ordered a couple more by Jennifer Ryan from the library, so will show you those when they arrive.  All the books involve some aspect of World War II.  It was a tie between the Jennifer Ryan books as to which one I enjoyed the most.  Both of the Jennifer Ryan books involved actual things that happened during the war.

I must say Jennifer Ryan is my new favourite author at the moment.

A couple of things

On Tuesday I had to run a couple of errands, went to the library, Dollarama and Zehrs.

I have this bush in the garden, that I have no idea where it came from.  I didn't plant it and as you can see by the photo, the top of it is all over the place.

I bought a plastic stake at Dollarama for $4 to try and "tame" it a bit.

Does anyone have any idea what this bush is called?

Also in Dollarama I buy this damp trap.  It works a treat.  I put it down the basement.  Although our basement isn't damp, it is below ground, so it doesn't do any harm to put one down there.

The one I have down there now has been there since April 10th.

They generally last around three months.  I would recommend this product, as it does work.  Especially in Summer when it's humid.

My most favourite coffee is this one.  We have a Keurig, but I have an insert where I can just use ground coffee instead of the pods.  It was on sale for $12.99, plus I got 2,000 points back which I save and cash in for free groceries.

Do you drink coffee and if so what is your favourite brand?

A little bit of fun.......

Lady Gillian Coffeeton of Crocs!!!

What are your names?

35 years and counting...........

This is a Bank Holiday in the UK and yesterday (Sunday) it was 35 years ago that we arrived in Canada.

Those 35 years have flown by and despite being full of up and downs, we have no regrets.  As a family we have grown from strength to strength.  The kids has grown into productive members of society and have given us a super son-in-law and daughter-in-law.  Along with 4 wonderful grandchildren.

Hubby started work at his current and only job in Canada on June 6th 1989.  His last day of physical work there will be at the end of September and he will be formerly retired at the end of the year.  Hubby has only had two places of work since he started work 50 years ago in September.  One in the UK and one here in Canada.

Canada has been good to us; but like everywhere in the world we have seen many changes and not all for the good.

Thank you Canada for having us, and here's to many more years of adventures in this country we call home!

Sunday Song, that will give you goosebumps........

A very emotional song, that means many things to many people.
