Valley Winter

Yeah...so this valley winter thing is wearing out it's welcome...we will have another 20-25 cms today and Halifax is only getting 10-15cms...how is that fair? More snow tomorrow night as well. Still room on the Sears card for a snow blower but trying to be practical--agh!!

Mike is home with the kiddies today. I feel better about that, not keen on leaving them alone in a snow storm but they are pretty good when they need to be. Graham bought a sliding tube yesterday with the money his Nan and Auntie Collette sent him (and some video games too, of course). He went up and down the back yard most of the day with that thing and had a ball, he cannot wait to take it to Auntie Josee's big farm hill. We fetched Elysia back from Halifax yesterday, she had some money and gift cards burning a hole in her pocket. Sarah and Josee came as well since Sarah wanted to get to American Eagle. Sarah had gift cards and one of those cards that if you spend over 50 dollars (which is pretty easy in that store) you get 10 dollars off. The girl at the cash register told her she couldn't use the card because she didn't present it at the beginning (which, I might add, it didn't say on the card). So she paid with her money. When she told Josee and I, I told her to give me the bag, the receipt and the card. I went in and asked for the manager and told him what happened and that I was disapointed that the cashier would take advantage of a 14 yr old spending her Christmas money...I got her money back. Don't mess with the bull!!
