Around Town:  My wife and I took a drive to North Bay yesterday to pick up a few items of choice.  Stores were packed with people, looking and buying.  Packages being put in cars in great numbers.  In theory this tells me our economy is growing.  Reason for this is in material but If asked I would say it is because the gas prices are down.  Folks now can and want to go places.  They have more money in their pockets.  More money means more spending, more spending means business’s thrive.  The benefits keep on coming for every one.  Great to see, one just has to notice what is going on around them.  Tea time here.  Violet leaf tea here this morning.  Makes you feel young.  Enjoy your day.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
