So, What's a Grey Cup and Why Have a Party For It?

Today, I hosted a Grey Cup party in our new clubhouse. I had purchased English muffins and pizza sauce and invited guests to bring their favourite toppings. With everything that's been going on, I clean forgot to get my own toppings! Well, I needn't have worried as the guests were all insistent that I partake of whatever goodies they brought from pastries to mozzarella to some wine that could just about convert me from beer (just about).

I'm not into football at all. The closest I've ever really come to the sport was playing rugby on snowshoes in high school. So, I really dreaded spending three or four hours hosting this party, but the conversation was good, and the handful of guests who showed up really got in the spirit of things making me feel much more appreciated than I have in the past couple of weeks. One guest in particular was very chilly the first time I met her and now she has just about adopted me, much to my amusement.

So, Calgary 22, Montreal 14. BOO.

Yea Calgary!!!

Rae, you are smack in the middle of the best wine producing area in Western Canada! I can't believe you would chose beer!

That's saying "You're in Amsterdam, I can't believe you're not partaking of the weed and prostitutes!"

I don't like wine. I like beer. :-)

Hello Rae,
I know this is not the place to post a comment other than about the Grey Cup blog, but I'm struggling because I cannot find another way to contact you anywhere on your website.

I've just been sent to your site for the first time by a client who purchased all 3 of my ebooks, The Frugal Shunpiker's Guides to RV Boondocking In The Southwest through your site. I'm very happy my books are able to help support your travels in this way.

I love your website, your blog, your quotes and everything about you.

I will spread the word about Travels With Miranda through my website. I'd love to hear from you and you can contact me through http://www.frugal-rv-travel.com.
Thank you.
