I went in to No-Frills this morning to pick up a few things for the boys while I am away---milk, margarine, boneless and skinless chicken breasts, and various raw veggies. It cost me less than $30 for everything. I will have to do a major shop when I get back next week. I put a handmade birthday card in the mail for my son-in-law in Oshawa before I made a kolbassa stew in the crockpot for tonight's dinner. I am all packed up and ready for the train station. Tomorrow we will hit the road for Elliot Lake.

My crocus is almost finished. When I get back, I suspect my daffodils will be in bloom
