LA shopping
Saturday is our day for wandering around this great town. Whether it’s -27ºC or whether it’s a hot day like -12°C we’re “oo n’ aboot”. And today was no exception … well except that we’re trying to be more ‘health’ conscious when buying our groceries. Not as easy as it might sound. First thing we do is check label for the “Expiration Date” & more importantly the “Nutrition Data” so you can imagine what we thought when we saw this marvellous can of ‘ ‘Puritan’ nurtrition & goodness. hmmmm wouldn’t you like to sink your teeth into beans & wieners?
And no Saturday would be complete without going to Robertson’s Trading Post. This is where we are getting our fine meats & fishes. Bison; wild boar; sometimes even Muskox & always in-house sausages made with blueberries, cranberries, wild rice or even mixes of bison & wild boar or on a good day muskox. mmmm! 
One of the butchers is also very fine artist that I have been fortunate enough to become friends with. The Trading Post also has art for sale, locally carved antlers & prints by another friend who has the nicest watercolour brush work I have ever seen. And a wonderful collection of locally hand made moccasins; mitts & gloves.
Here’s a few pictures form there:

The afternoon is usually spent putting up our feet & enjoying the day! aaaahhh! ’s marvellous!
