Walmart Here I Come

My friend Kathy in MA sent me a set of walkie talkies, so I never have to worry about losing Jim while out shopping again! Isn't that such a neat idea?  These will come in very handy on our next adventure too!  Since Jim has never experienced the pleasures of traveling by train, we've booked a train trip to Ottawa for the March 6/7 weekend. We'll be staying with my brother Dave and his wife Margaret, and we'll have a chance to visit with other family while we're there.  Hmmm...I wonder how far these walkie talkies work?

Busy week

We've kept busy this week making our new home just the way we like it.  We added a small deepfreeze in the kitchen for when we see good sales on frozen goods, and got a nice desk for my computer and printer.  This week I think we might try the free bus that takes you to the shopping mall on Tuesdays and Fridays. I think I need to get very comfortable with this mode of transportation.  Yesterday when we stopped for gas, it took Jim a full minute to remember where the door handle was to get out of the van.  This is definitely not looking good!
