Remembrance Day. John and I both walked in the parade and I laid a cross for the CWL. It is a long time to stand. After we marched back to the Legion Jack and Nancy joined us for their chili lunch and I had a glass of draft. Boy was it good. I went to choir practice and when I got home Jerome and Colleen were here. They stopped on their way home to Ottawa. We had a nice visit but they were anxious to hit the road before all the daylight disappeared. Very warm day high of 18°C!

Carole picked me up at 10 and we went to Peterborough. She needed a passport picture so we started at Cosco and then went to Value Village where I found some napkin holders and got some books. We both had bags to drop off at Vinnies and of course did some shopping. I got John two new shirts and more books. Then we hit the Dollar Store and I got some Christmas doilies and most of the things I need for my seniors gift bag. We came back home for a late lunch at Burger Hut and John joined us for coffee and paid the bill. Another warm day.

Beautiful day. Finally got my hair cut. It is very short! Went from Havelock to Campbellford to Giant Tiger and bought a lot of frozen foods.
