Things to be thankful for

Going to a hockey game last night, was something to be thankful for.

We were waiting in line, when someone offered us a free piece of paper, which represented a buy one get one free ticket offer. When I took it to the window, the person had me fill in my info. on the back and trade it in for a free adult ticket, worth $19.00. (That made up for the $12.00 for parking- argh- one dollar more than last year, and two.)

Finding a new tree for Chantel's room, safer, easier to set up, and not too expensive. We found a $25.00 plus tax, white tree, at Wal-Mart. Chantel wanted white, I wasn't too sure about it, but it looks great in her room. It goes well with the pink balls a friend of ours gave her. Pinks not my thing, but Chantel loves it! So, that was a praise. (Esp. since the other tree was 38 years old, since my parents will be married 38 yrs. in December. It almost fell on us when we tried to take it down, so the stand wasn't very safe anymore and it seemed like it was leaning and ready to fall down.)

Chantel enjoyed celebrating her birthday and getting gifts along with the T-Day celebration since we decided to combine the two activities this year.

Oh yes, and we were given an extra T.V., by Ralph's mom today. It goes perfect, in our downstairs, extra room. It gives Ralph his space, when Chantel only wants to watch her shows. I really don't care, but the two of them can really go at it, about T.V. So, this will work well. We will have our space, downstairs and she can have hers upstairs, if friends and some day, boyfriends come over! (Yes, and the cable wires were ready to go!)
