Practicing Gratitude...

THIS blog post is about my favourite book....Sara Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance 'A Daybook of Comfort and Joy'.....I've had this book for YEARS and have gained soooooo much from it.......If you haven't read it, then I wholeheartedly recommend it - as well as the workbook that goes along with it!  

Sara's website is also wonderful!!

Aerogarden...

I gave Lloyd an Aerogarden for our Anniversary - with a set of herbs to go in it!  He loves little gardening gadgets like this and was really excited to get it set up and started - it's like having a mini grow up in the kitchen lol!  You can see the herbs starting to come through - only took a few days because of such bright light......Sam is enjoying checking on them every day.  

Chess!!

Abs and I had a really great game of chess today.  It lasted all afternoon really - with a  small break for us to get the banana bread out of the oven and have a piece....I won in the end but Abby did get me in check a couple of times which surprised me and showed I wasn't concentrating properly!!  She's good at this game and she loves it :)

Cheesy....

I realised that Cheesy doesn't appear on my blog much...but yes, he is (quite shockingly) still alive...so while he was being cleaned out and exercised today, I snapped a couple of pictures of him with Sam and Abby....

Who should light the Olympic Cauldron tomorrow night?????

Betty Fox!!!

Wayne Gretzky???

Rick Hansen???


I personally would like it to be Betty Fox...but I don't think it is going to be.  I have a feeling it will be Wayne....

I guess we will wait and see - I'm excited to watch the opening ceremonies..........  :)
