I read that too Purl. My mind has to wonder "why"?
Our Target stores here in the US, opened 700 new stores in a move to gain Canadian dollars. 700 stores. And they are all going into the dumpster, Canadians aren't impressed.

You know what my idea of progress is? JCPenneys, an american fixture for 100 years is also clinging by a broken nail.
They will die and be gone soon, but it doesn't have to be that way. They could reopen all the empty old dumped for the malls in the 1960's stores in downtown America. Single handedly they could turn downtowns back into thriving communities that also included independents, infusing that kind of investment.

And who decided JPC was a grand name? Honestly, there should be a college for common sense.

Rob has been retired for a week now, I weighed this morning and haven't gained any weight
We only eat two real meals a day, always have, so as long as I watch my plate and portion size I should be ok.
It is lovely to have a meal companion. I'd guess he has been out of town at least 80+% of our 44 years.

hugs to all, Sharyn
