Allez-y!

I had such a fantastically exciting day today that I just HAD to blog about it! *Can you sense the sarcasm here?*
After class today I went to Foodland, which is the equivalent of Walmart here... that is if Walmart was a quarter of its size and sold underwear in the canned fruit aisle. Anyway, I did manage to get some souvenirs  out of it (there was a reasonably large souvenir section... I guess this is the only store of it's kind in the entire region of Clare). However, the best part was the home hardware store next door because it sold ..... DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

BUG SPRAY! Now all the baseboards, doorways, and crevices in my room have been thoroughly de-bugged. Hopefully this will end my ongoing stand-off with the lovely little critters. (I had some personally satisfying choice words to insert here but this is a family-friendly blog.)

I also bought something special for Nan today that will definitely cement my position as #1 granddaughter. This MAY even temporarily bump Rick out of his top spot, it's that good (I know, I know that's crazy talk you say!). At the church on campus I saw a statue today of her favorite saint (St. Theresa) which I hadn't noticed in the store before. Of course, I had to buy it. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's actually quite nice and I know she'll love it. (Don't tell her by the way.)

And finally, last night we had a feu de camp (camp fire). It wasn't that fun but there was free food. Here's a picture:

That's all for now! Only 19 more days until (relative) civilisation!
