Yucky Weather

We managed to miss most of the crappy weather that hit the province this weekend until this evening. Around 6 pm it started to rain, then it turned to freezing rain and then it turned to snow. The temperature dropped from 10 C at 3 pm to -5 at about 6 pm. All and all it is just a crappy situation outside, but it is certainly better than what they have been getting to the north of us up in the North Battleford area. It is winter up in that country once again.

One nice thing was that Craig came out for his days off. The plan was to have Julia come visit for the next few days, however, Julia is a bit under the weather so Nicole felt it was better if she stayed in Regina this time. Craig still came though. James had purchased a nice roast from Tim down in Davidson, so he brought it over and I cooked it up and we had a nice roast supper after watching a bit of Stanley Cup playoff hockey.

Hey the weather is crappy, but hockey is meant for the winter so it fit right in...

They Still Taste Great !

It isn't very often I get to snack on a donut now that we live out in the sticks. Today we had visitors and they brought a box of Tim Horton's finest to snack on while we had a coffee.

When we lived in Regina, I used to get the donuts quite often at work. Some visitor would bring in either some Robin's or Tim Horton's usually on a daily basis. Heck, after a while you do get a bit tired of eating them, but then you'd go on days off. The next week when you were back on shift a new batch would make it's way to the consoles to munch away on.

After we moved here, we didn't have the luxury of visitors bringing along treats. Sure we stopped a few times when we were in the city and brought some home. The only problem was then we had to eat the whole box and normally they got stale before we got through eating them. For me, one or maybe two in a row is about all I can eat. The sugar and what not gets to be a bit much. After awhile we just didn't bother stopping any longer.

So today when the visitors popped in with the distinctive box I immediately put the coffee pot on and got the table ready. I sure was not disappointed as the TH's tasted just great with a 'cup of mud'. As we all munched away on our donuts, we got up to date with the recent happenings as well.

A nice visit was had and now we are 'good to go' with the Tim Horton's for the next while. Of course we would never turn down a nice fresh donut if anyone ever wants to bring some by. I can always find room for 'one more' of life's little pleasures :)
