June Blogging Challenge Day 19

What are you grateful for doing?

I'm grateful for all the times my friends and I sat around a fire pit and had a few beer and talked to 3 am. This will most likely never happen again in my life. The joking, and all the pouring out of our souls to each other was an amazing experience. It would be great to be able to do it with the friends I have now to say the least. As well, I miss those people from back then, but they have all gone away or we drifted apart. Nothing is forever, but the memories of those Friday nights will last the rest of my life.

    This may seem morbid ,but I'm thankful I was able to take care of my mom, dad, and husband at home until they passed away. I didn't have to put them in a nursing home. They passed away in there familiar surroundings . Liked your answer ,Dave😊💖

Coffee Is A Big Part Of My Life

Image
A nice cup of coffee is a great thing to say the least. Well this is discount coffee, but It's not terrible. It's the store brand from Real Canadian Superstore. It comes in a large yellow container. There is rather a lot of it in the container, and it is not going to keep fresh for the rest of the month, but that's OK I guess. The stuff is not terrible, in fact it's better than most of the coffee I've had when out for coffee with friends. It's not close to Lavazza of course, but what is that is not supper expensive. I've been sent coffee that was worse than this stuff and was far more expensive for the person sending it, and not enjoyed it as much as the No Name coffee (that's the brand name.) I find coffee to be a great joy and I have cut down to one strong cup of coffee a day, but I really need to be having that one cup. It is my pleasure for starting the day with. Yet it helps get me awake and so on, but it's also a great joy. Making the coffee an...

CANADIAN TV SHOWS OF THE 1970'S

Image
The Fifth Estate (1976 - Still Going) Documentary, News This was a show that I remember my Mom and Dad watching once a week. Later in life I watched it as well. I no longer watch it as I’m no longer interested in news. At the time in the 70’s I did not really get what it was all about, I just wanted to be with my parents while they watched it. My brother never did stay for it if I remember correctly. Hockey Night in Canada (1952 - Still Going) Sports Dad watched this all the time in the 70’s and 80’s then just kind of stopped. I now watch it on my own. I love Hockey and CFL (Canadian Football). At the time I just was there for it – was not interested in sports until I was much older. Marketplace (1972 - Still Going) News, Consumer Affairs This is the consumer affairs show in Canada. They document what a business is doing wrong to a customer or a group and then confront them with it on camera. They have effected change over the years and ran a few places out of business. I was inte...

Häagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream - Review

Image
Häagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream is typically expensive but I got this on sale for $5. Well, for the name alone, you expect this to be the best coffee ice cream ever, but it was not. I've had many that compare directly to this one. It's not as rich as I remember from years ago when we used to get the brand for a treat. The coffee flavor was overpowering the ice cream taste. Plus side, it's a good size for one person to munch down if you ask me. It tastes good. Minus side, it's expensive for what you get. It's not the most premium tasting I've had. I was expecting it to be more rich, and I was disappointed. This being said, it's better than a some I've had for comparable prices. I'm going to give it a 6.5/10. It needs to be richer, and less powerful on the coffee taste.
