May 12 to May 18

Sunday May 12

Mother’s Day. Went for breakfast but Lou and Carmel didn’t show? After we went for a drive and stopped at The Cottage Gardener for some Sweet Pea seeds. They weren’t open but sold us the seeds anyway. We then headed to Port Hope. Stopped at a Dollar type store and bought some craft supplies, cards etc. Then downtown and John got some more Cod liver oil and Malt. The Bargain Store was closing and we bought a few things there. Went to the Butter tart bakery in Cobourg and got 4 tarts and went to Gayle and Diana’s for tea. Home around 3:30. The weather was terrible. We went through, snow squalls, ice pellets, rain and sun. Temp varied from 2°C to 8°C. Sharon sent an email and Christopher phoned to wish me Happy Mother’s Day.
