Friday being Valentines Day we decided to try a brand new ‘healthy’ fast food restaurant that just opened that day. Living in a small town, occurrences like this apparently everyone is excited for. We got there at 6:22 pm and were turned away from the door. They had run out of food. Lesson learned: Go to new places open earlier in a small town to eat because importing enough food way up north can be a bugger.
So we went next door to another new store!! Tutti Frutti!! The kid absolutely enjoyed it. Self serve frozen yogurt that you adorn with various garnishes. Even though it was very busy we managed to find a seat. THe staff were friendly. Can’t wait to find another Tutti Frutti once the weather gets better and we start exploring again!! Lesson Re-learned: Frozen Yogurt is good for you – but when you put lots of candy and chocolate and maraschino cherries on it …. it’s not so good for you anymore.
The kid was worried about tobogganing here, as it’s well … flat. But we found a hill!! And it was a steep hill. Though the wind was so whippingly cold, the kid enjoyed gliding down on her sled. I enjoyed sitting in the warm car. Lesson learned: Even if you don’t think you can find something, keep looking. It will be there.
The weather was windy, cold, and snowy. As we made our way out of the store today, I glanced around and saw so much whirling snow, gray skies and so many bootprints on the ground. Lesson learned: Especially in Saskatchewan, life goes on no matter what. You pull on your wool socks, parka, and get into your car to drive. Life moves on even if you feel it should be put on hold. We are Canadian – we are winter – we are tough …… well I’m not. I’m sensitive. I belong on a beach.
It’s a bit more expensive to get beautified here. I thought I would try it myself to save some money. Went out and bought hair removal cream. Lesson learned: Know your limitations, and always follow directions.
So, what’d you learn this weekend?
Disclosure: I was not compensated for anything or even asked to write about anything. This is just my week, and I really enjoyed the yogurt. They were friendly there 🙂
