Praise God

Three weeks ago I went for another MRI to check for regrowth of the brain tumor that was removed 13 years ago. It had been four years since my last MRI and I was a tad nervous waiting for the results, especially considering my ongoing issues with headaches. I just prayed for peace whatever the result would be.  http://joyfulfrugalliving.blogspot.ca/2013_11_01_archive.html

Yesterday, my neurosurgeons office informed me that there was still no evidence of recurring tumor and my next scheduled MRI is in six years! This was such wonderful news. Thank you Lord!

Saturday Adventures....

There are a lot of fisherman along the banks of the Vedder River - if you look closely in one of the photos, you'll see a fish.

Ready for the masses tomorrow - never know how many people will show up for lunch after church.

If you have Air Miles Dream Rewards, this may be helpful....

We have collected a substantial amount of Air Miles (mainly through Safeway) and, even after using some of them over the years, there is still a lot in our account. I was alerted to the fact that, due to new rules, these Air Miles will eventually expire (I think Dec 2016).

I did a search to try and come up with the best way to use the Air Miles before expiry and came across BMO investment certificates. A person can redeem Air Miles for a BMO certificate that can in turn be used for a TFSA and other investments. There isn't any charge from BMO's end so that appears to be a great option! I had no idea until now that this was even an option with Air Miles.
