Thank you! <br />That's one big honkin piece of carot cake! The lunch looks so good and you are so right, can't find that kind of lunch for such a good bargain and to have great company to go along with it to boot! Love all that snow you have, my mom who lives near Oliphant isn't loving it that much with all the shovelling, but I keep telling her Spring is around the corner! :)<br />Have a great week!<br />Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917626145015882024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644349196485743424.post-23991074779732595132013-01-28T09:15:05.111-05:002013-01-28T09:15:05.111-05:00All is going great with the money challenge.

I am trying to stay a month ahead of the game and will try to make my deposit all in one shot. That might be challenging the more I get into the year BUT I am so stoked with the savings and being able to pay my student loan off, hopefully, this year... YAY!!

I will come up with amounts for my next few weeks. This is going to be my bathroom renovation fund which I plan on getting done in December when drywallers are desperate for work. I made out your chart and colour coded the weeks I contributed.<br /><br />Thank-you for the gluten-free flour mixture. With Bulk Barn having $3.00 coupons the next two weeks I will be stocking up on different items, some regular and some gluten-free. I really appreciate your time to give this to me.<br /><br />Also...........you sure can ramble on in your posts. I feel like you are talking via phone when I read them. Got to love it.<br /><br />You have more snow then us. I am envious. Wish to go for a ski.onesimplefarmgirl2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09116228716186464577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644349196485743424.post-72444592173686689342013-01-26T15:45:36.868-05:002013-01-26T15:45:36.868-05:00Wow Jean way to pull off a Challenge !Wow Jean way to pull off a Challenge !Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644349196485743424.post-32983888115088351152013-01-26T15:01:53.214-05:002013-01-26T15:01:53.214-05:00I want my total done by the end of October so I ha...I want my total done by the end of October so I have added extra and have just finished week 12.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353161962198447102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644349196485743424.post-70393224782805120642013-01-26T09:13:44.480-05:002013-01-26T09:13:44.480-05:00How sweet to visit a friend who is stuck in the ho...How sweet to visit a friend who is stuck in the house, I know you made her day.

It helps both of us get through the days. There are a lot of lonely ailing people out there who would just love someone to drop in and chat for a bit. <br />I sure wish it would warm up around here at least you have snow so it looks like winter we don't so it looks nice out and you open the door and you freeze and your nose falls off on the floor:) I am trying to be funny guess I am not. Keep warm. Have a nice weekend.

You are exactly right - when you're sick or stuck at home for some reason, you really enjoy a nice visit. I have heard so many selfish, selfish people say they won't visit terminally ill people because it makes them uncomfortable and they "want to remember them as they were." Seriously. I feel like telling them to grow up and start thinking about others for a change. You, Cindy, are an inspiration because you put others before yourself all the time.

Me and Dave are both doing it and it's with glee that we drop our change in the box every week. (Change for now, anyway!)<br />Sorry you got stuck in your own driveway... but amazed that you had actual pavement to drive on. Our roads have been solid ice for about a week now. Too cold for road salt so all they can do is sand. There are cars in the ditch everywhere we go. Nasty business. And YAY for Burt's Bees!!!

The picture of the snow-laden pine tree makes me think of the time I broke an umbrella clearing snow off trees. There was so much snow the tips of the long branches were touching the ground.<br /><br />Excellent news on the "thank you" from your friend and the excellent customer service from Burt's Bees. So while it may be cold up there the community seems most comfortably warm. :O)LuAnn @ BackPorchervationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775630749079885915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644349196485743424.post-87646866689320309682013-01-25T21:36:27.160-05:002013-01-25T21:36:27.160-05:00Yes it was wonderful to be say good-bye until he i...Yes it was wonderful to be say good-bye until he is safely back in Australia.
