More trips to Zellers

The Zellers store will close on March 30 and the percentage off on some items is already 80 to 90%. I bought myself a new watch today for $4.29, and some greeting cards for 10 cents each. That even beats the Dollar Store! Of course, the stock is also diminishing so selection is limited. I bought a nice sheet set for double bed for $7.99 - could make a nice gift? While we were in Huntsville we also went to Harry's sisters place to take a bread making machine - her husband was home (she was a work) and  Harry showed him how to get it started ( I had measured and packaged to take with us the ingredients for a loaf of white bread) We had four of these machines so I didn't mind giving them one. He sent an email to say the loaf turned out so good, he was making another loaf already. I actually like making fresh bread in our machine but you can only eat so much.The weather is starting to cooperate and I can actually see the snow starting to melt away. It feels so glorious to walk down to the lake and enjoy the sun shining down as you sit on a bench and view the peacefulness of the snow covered lake. There are still some huts on the lake - need to be off by end of March. There is also some open water along the shore, too! Otherwise the greenhouses and planting and watering etc monopolize a good portion of my day - there are already red flowers on the geraniums that we wintered over inside, and then planted in pots out there. Things are growing very quickly now that the temp is increasing. The cold days of Feb and March were not good for them, but they all survived those miserably frigid spells (thanks to keeping the heaters going haha) Take care
