We always had outreach at the library to bring access to books for kids and encourage literacy. Kids LOVE books. The challenge was to then get the parents to bring them to the library. Lucky are those whose parents do.

My granddaughter is coming for Christmas. I have board books, bath books, pop up books, magnetic sticker books, and there will be a walk to the local library!

While I am sure you will make something very good and very similar, remember, no one ever makes it as good as mom. Cherish the times we have together.

I bought some nice fresh Ontario grown pork at Foodland yesterday. Inexpensive, a nice pork loin roast (6.85), ground pork for tourtiere (5.99) and some thick pork loin chops (6 for 7.85). All together under 20 dollars. We had some chops last night and they were tender and delicious.

I know how you feel. I have recently had mice in my car. Tried everything but the only solution had to be traps. I don't see the cute Christmas mice the same anymore.

On top of that the new blue bin service won't collect beer or wine bottles for recycling in Ottawa. Circular Materials says you will not be allowed to throw out beer, wine and liquor bottles.

I remember years ago (40) getting stuck on a train between Montreal and Ottawa. The train slowly rolled to a stop in the middle of a massive corn field. It was definitely giving me Children of the Corn vibes after recently seeing the movie. It became really spooky once the sun began to go down.

We had that too, our Christmas stockings always had those nuts in them. I kept the nut crackers and picks. We use them for lobster dinners, they are great for cracking the shells and getting the small bits out.

No that is not what I hope. I hope that it won't go through and that he realizes it but made an effort to appease Alberta anyway. Not ideal at all. I get what you are saying.

Anecdotally, from my experience and those of friends and family, the Moderna vaccine has shown more unpleasant side effects. There are those who have not experienced any as well. I go for the Pfizer based on that.
