Shoppaholic

More shopping today. This time at Costco. We discovered that, if you get to the store at 10:00 a.m., you can get your shopping done before the crowds arrive. It's a lot easier on nervous system.

We usually go every 2-3 months and stock up on the staples. Important stuff, like Kuerig Columbian coffee K-cups, DentiSticks dog treats, mixed nuts, steel-head trout fillets, pre-cooked beef roasts, chicken flings, jugs of milk, paper towels, etc., etc. The car is much heavier on the trip home.

Once home and unloaded, we did a couple of hours of yard work. It was a great day for it, sunny and a little warm. This time, we tackled the Virginia creeper all along one side of the house and along one fence.This summer must have been perfect for that plant. You could sit and watch it grow. Anyway, it's all pruned back. Next summer, we'll have to maintain better control of it.

And, the day's not over. This evening, we're off to Celebrations Dinner Theatre, to enjoy "Elvis and the Las Vegas Hangover".

You do remember Elvis, don't you?

A Trip to the Candy Store

Yesterday, we made a trip to the Candy Store, AKA Cabela's. Of course, there are other candy stores in Winnipeg. For example, Canadian Tire and Scoop and Weigh.

But, Cabela's is unique. Like going to Costco, you go in looking for a couple of items and end up making a bunch of other, unplanned purchases.

I'm just glad I'm not a hunter. There were hundreds of them (men and women, most of them in camouflage clothing) in the store today, buying all sorts of expensive hunting gear and clothing. I do fish occasionally but I stayed out of the fishing section. I'll wait until next spring for those treats.
