Since it’s almost July I will hop in hear. The concert was amazing. My brother bought the tickets as out 25th Wedding Anniversary gift and he booked a hotel in Midland. The weather was incredible and I love his partner we always have such fun together. I thought of Frugalbigmama today when I was leaving and passing by her favourite grocery stores.
The hot sunshiny day was great because I then managed to get two loads of laundry dried after we got home.

I had to look this up but it looks like it is Quebec version of the local paper. This seems to be a growing trend where I live they stopped delivering to Apartment and Multi use buildings. In our area most of theses are Seniors building which are those who do not use Cell phones and internet. Where is you have myself who has tried to stop the paper delivery as we just let them pile up and then dump them all in recycling and they won't let me stop my delivery because it is free. But it does seem they are testing the waters on going print free.
