Target FINALLY comes to Canada!

I'm so excited. It was announced today that Target will be here in 2013! Target is a chain store much like Walmart (only better stuff) in the U.S. They recently bought our Zellers and The Bay stores here in Canada. It's taken forever to come here though but finally it will happen. I still have my American Target credit card but will most likely have to get a new one as I have not used it in ages. Their head office in Canada will be in Mississauga! Damn I knew I shouldn't have moved!!!
We do have a Zellers store here in Cornwall (it's crappy) so I hope we will be one of the places getting a Target store. We need something else to shop in besides Walmart as there is nothing else in this town! Can you tell I am having shopping withdrawal symptoms! LOL
One of my girlfriends in the states picked up the Skinny Jeans Kens for me, all 3! I can hardly wait until they get here. Probably next month. Most stores are already sold out of them. And it doesn't look like they are coming to Canada.
I also received my Ellowyne sewing patterns that I bought off an etsy shop on ebay last week. Now I have to get my sewing room cleaned out!
As you can see the deck is rebuilt. this was taken last weekend. Since then the stairs have been added, the ground leveled and grass seed planted. It has rained for two days now and I am not complaining. I'll take more updated pictures when the weather clears up. We still have to put the railing on yet but there is no rush now. As long as everything is done for August which is when Jack's next birthday is. We plan to have  the family out here to celebrate it. He will be 72
Jack's son got our pool and man has he ever done a nice job with it. He repainted all the sides, inserted a new liner and has almost finished the deck and railing around it. He lives in the country so has lots of room for this.

Next week Jack goes to the Heart Institute in Ottawa for an angiogram to see if they can find what the heart problem is. I still don't believe it's his heart that is the problem for him. He has no symptoms at all, no pain, nothing. Only shortness of breath and I think that is most likely COPD. He goes for that test next week also. Fortunately my sister lives near this hospital so I can stay with her overnight, saving me either driving back and forth to Ottawa or having to stay in a hotel.
