Shopping

Paul worked today, so Mom and I took a walk to this incredible greasy spoon, "La Belle Province".  In my opinion, they have the best french fries in the world.  I soak them with vinegar (not malt) and sprinkle lots of salt on top, and voila, the best and only patates frites!!!

Then we strolled along Ste. Catherine Street and stopped in at Ogilvie's Department store.  Years ago, they had an elevator man who wore white gloves and opened the cage to the elevator and pushed the buttons for every customer.  I guess he was there to open and close the cage inside the elevator doors.  A bagpiper would open and close the store each day, by playing throughout the store, on all 7 levels. The store is much more elite now, comparable to Neiman Marcus.

 Here I am looking at an $800 bag....

We walked a lot, came home, put our feet up, and ate more vegetables and fruit from the market.
