Gone are the days...

that shopping north of 55 meant a trip to the Hudson's Bay Store! Today my dil and I spent a pleasant morning going to Wal-mart and yes, The Brick. We ended the excursion with a bowl of soup at Tim Horton's. (love those little packages of crackers! It is only .5 point for two saltines, so next time, I will ask for two packages and take a walk on the wild side!) The men were playing golf, and had dinner out at the club, so dil and I had a fine supper of fish, carrots and salad. This is one of the few places I have ever been that I actually enjoy water that is drawn right from the tap. Clear, clean and cold! There are so many reasons to love the north!
