confession

I couldn't remember the name of my blog.
It took me a bit of searching : )

This is for Elaine...

Elaine is the mother of one of my high school friends.  She writes a lovely blog and she has encouraged me to get back to writing on mine.  I told her I was going to post a hockey picture. 

A couple of months ago my boy's hockey team had what they called their "Heritage Classic" - a hockey game on an outdoor arena.  I didn't get really great pictures, but I have to say it was a fun (cold) evening.  We huddled under blankets on the outdoor stands, drinking hot chocolate. 
(I have to say that I am glad that not all of their games are Heritage Classics!)

pre-game planning

I'm back...

I am honestly going to start writing again.
I need to get my groove back....

I had to smile this evening as I put away groceries.  Grocery shopping for me looks like this;

 

        (a lot of our foods decorated with fancy stickers : )  

 

I asked the kids to take a basket themselves and pick out some food for their school lunches.  I had to smile when I took out the box of melba toast they picked out (upper right box) ..... I hadn't noticed the 50% off sticker.  They instinctively looked for discounted food. Oh the stories they will have about their mother.
