    I’ve read Chamberlain and Hewwit before and enjoyed their books. Glad you are getting a tax break on the gas. Over 200 items on the tariff list? That’s horrible. I hope one day we can return to reasonable governing in the US. Canadians and Americans had a good relationship before this last election.

      I agree Tina. It’s time to get this trade war resolved.

    I really don’t know about this country anymore. I think it’s going to get worse before better!
    I watched every season of Corner Gas a while back and would like to watch it again. I thought it was hilarious!

      I need to watch that show Vicki!

    I’m so sorry that the edicts of the tyrants that are running the US are causing problems for you in your country. Greed, greed, greed. I’m just waiting for everything to explode.

    Kate and Frida…what’s not to like about friendship, food, and books?

      And Paris Deb! I agree about things eventually exploding.

    I have not heard of that show, but I don’t really watch any shows. Sounds like you read some good, popular authors lately! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I’m glad you were able to get a tariff-free freezer. I’m nervous about how expensive things are going to get.

    Son of a Critch was on here in the US a year or two ago. I remember seeing the end of it before something else I watched came on I think. Great job on getting the freezer before it all gets expensive. And yay for cheaper gas prices! I wanted a new fridge when I moved in 6 years ago to this house because I don’t have an icemaker in this one, but then just kept what I had. Hoping it lasts, although I have to make ice with my countertop machine or buy it. Hope you have a good week!

      There are 4 seasons of Son of a Critch and because it’s Canadian it airs here first so watch for some new episodes Lisa!

    We had the same thing happen with our freezer section of our fridge. We ran right out and found a replacement. We’d already had it repaired and that held for three weeks. No time to waste. It is the first time in our married life that we replaced a fridge before it was dead. It much better to do it this way.

    I’m looking forward to Kate & Frida, too! I loved Love & Saffron and am hoping my library gets a copy of her latest soon.

      I hope we both enjoy it JoAnn!

    I used to read Danielle Steel, but haven’t read her books in years. I hope you have a great week!

    The no-carbon tax can’t come soon enough. Hope you have a wonderful week!

    Ugh – I hate this whole tariff thing and the horrible doings of the current US administration. We are getting rain, winds and thunder today but it’s been pretty nice this past week, and will be this week again. I’m glad you were able to find a new fridge. A quiet week is a good week.

    I’m glad you got your freezer before the tariffs kicked in. I have friends that love Son of a Critch, but I haven’t watched any yet. Maybe when I get home that is what I’ll start. I hope you have a nice week Jodie.

    I saw the show mentioned on one of the streaming channels in the US. Yes many of us are unhappy about the direction our country is taking. I am sorry.

    The weather has greatly improved where I live and my husband and I really look forward to getting out and about doing some nature walks once he recovers a bit more from the foot surgery he had! It sounds like you have a decent week, I will have to check that TV series out!

    Yay on securing a new freezer.
