I'm a Sucker for Restaurant Games and Prizes

Over the past year, I only step into McDonald's if I'm up really early and use that as an excuse to grab a McGriddle (yummy). Rarely do I go in for lunch or dinner - my wife and I prefer Wendy's!

However, I always liked how McDonald's puts on its Monopoly game and prizes. I remember in high school where we would (almost) religiously go to the nearby McDonald's and order food so that we can get the playing pieces to complete a block of property on your personal Monopoly board. I've always won something... but nothing big. A Big Mac here and a small drink there - kind of how I only win coffees and doughnuts with Tim Horton's.

What was the biggest thing you have won? My sister one a year's supply worth of Hubba Bubba from YTV - but that only lasted 2 months as we wasted it and gave it away. =)

My favourite time of year


The fall is here and I'm extoked (word created by Slick by combining excited and stoked together)! I'm especially extoked about firing up the wood stove again.

With the fall colours again, I'm reminded of how creation is so fascinating and how I love being outdoors! This past weekend I was at a retreat and we were blessed with great weather, great fellowship and wonderful teaching! Thanks Rod A. - I can listen to you talk all day long! Special shout out to Sarah B. for helping cook. You are a lifesaver to all the staff. =)
