Rummaging through the clothing.
Yvonne at the cash.
This gal found some running shoes in green to match her outfit.We spent the day in Toronto (getting lost or rather confused) on the subway system LOL The Argos were playing (football), the Raptors were in town (basketball) and the Santa Claus Parade was on all at the time and in the same area! The news media were telling people not to drive as over half a million people were expected in the downtown! So we took the subway but there was a half hour lineup just to pay to get on the trains! Still it was cheaper than the Go Train and a real adventure, believe me! I haven't rode the subway for almost 10 years and I got very confused underground. It was Jack's first time ever to ride the subway.
Our football team lost badly. It was an exciting game nevertheless. Then we went out for supper to end the day.
Yesterday the basement flooded but fortunately I have most of Dolton on bricks and off the floor from past experiences. We had over an inch of water in some places. Although it's been okay since, we are concerned that maybe the old piping is rotting. Jack says it's outside the house but that is still our responsibility, at least to the city property line. I know our neighbour's had to tear up their basement floor last year to replace their pipes. I sure hope we don't as we have more piping than they do as our plumbing in on the opposite side of the house and crosses under our lawn to join with their piping to the street. You pay by the foot and that would be mighty expensive! For the past 3 years the city has been digging up our street replacing old and faulty pipes. They just finished two months ago and only repaved our street a couple of weeks back! But we will have to get ours checked first to be sure it's not our pipes before we go after the city. That's not cheap to do either! I knew we should have moved! LOL
Anyway I hope you all had a good weekend.

I'm glad everyone had fun at the sale, I know YOU did! LOL
Sorry about your team losing...and the subway experience. I haven't ridden a subway either since I left NYC 26 years ago. I'd probably be pretty lost too!
What's the difference between the subway and the other train? Is the other more a railroad like the Long Island Railroad in NY? (above ground but for the suburbs not the city)
Yeah subway is underground and runs every 5 minutes or so. The GO train is above ground and uses National Rail, it runs right behind my house actually. It only runs once an hour except in the morning and evening rush hours when it runs every 20 mins. It travels east, west, and north to other towns and is much more expensive.
