Grace in Small Things – 142

• Watching the Snowbirds with Sylvain yesterday. He enjoyed the heck out of it, and I covered my eyes at the scary parts and said, “They shouldn’t do that. That’s not safe.” But he says I’m a cool girlfriend anyway, just for going along.
• Finding super amazing deals at Windsor Crossing yesterday while Sylvain shopped for chinos. I shouldn’t spend money right now, but when I saw things I need for the fall and winter marked 70% off, it was hard to resist.  I am now the proud owner of a red raincoat with a hood, which I’d been needing. Now how am I going to resist getting some Wellies?
• Cool, sunny weather lately. The squirrels are starting to look busier.
• Being disappointed that a series of books I need to reference often costs $64 per volume x 5 volumes, then discovering that the university of Windsor library HAS the set. Since I’m not a U of W student, a year’s borrowing privileges cost me, but less than one of the volumes would have been for me to purchase.
• Getting a phone call tonight from my first cousin once removed (my late father’s cousin), who is a priest stationed in Brazil. We have never met, but are connected by our shared interest and work on the family genealogy.
