A fun homemade toy

A homemade version of a toy I have seen online before. It is a pop bottle stuffed with colored rice and small items. The trick is try and find all the contents. Kinda of like 'I spy in a bottle'. I think it would fun not only to make but having one might help to pass time on those long road trips to hockey arenas...

A lucky break

I did something today that I have been a little hesitate to do after having a previous bad experience (it was at work too boot). I clicked on the "Next blog" link on my blog page.

I was pleasently surprised to find this blog. It's a diary of a family building a hugh home in Texas. I sooo love to snoop!

Hello Saskatoon

Hello to the city of bridges.

We are coming to see you this weekend. We will be arriving on Friday and staying until Sunday/Monday. Our length of stay depends on how the hockey goes.

I hear gas prices are higher in Saskatoon than Winnipeg. While talking about gas prices is A's current passion, I just broke my rule of never talking/writing about gas prices. Gas to me is like milk, bread etc. They are essentials so why complain about the cost.

We have been told to stop in Moosomin at the Dairy Queen on our way to Saskatoon. Apparently this will be the highlight of our trip.

My hope is to get in some running to burn off some caleries/frustrations on the wonderful running paths I hear Saskatoon has. Especially if we stop at DQ on the way in.

See ya soon, Saskatoon.
