The Travels of the Agnew Family

I had mentioned to Ed that I didn't think Zaph liked the new deck as he spent as little time as possible on it. Ed took this photo to prove me wrong once again.

Ellen (my neighbour) and I decided to drive to St. Jacobs (about 1 1/4 hours away) to visit the farmers market and spend lots of money. The market didn't seem as large as I remember it. Now maybe that was due to the cool, damp day or that it was Thursday instead of Saturday. There also seemed to be fewer than normal Mennonite farmers.


A year ago a fire burned the main market building. Within three months this structure was erected replacing the original building. The inside of the building looks pretty much the same as the original building did, except it's only one storey instead of two.

Ellen and I bought lots of vegetables including half bushels of tomatoes and peppers. So when items got too many or too heavy we would make a trip to the car to drop them off. On one of the trips to the car, I knowingly dropped my keys into the trunk (my hands were too full to do anything else), thinking to myself remember to pick up your keys after you put the food into the trunk. On the next trip to the car, after patting my pockets for keys, I remembered where my keys were. I had forgotten to pick them up. First thought was call Ed to bring a spare set of keys. Given the length of the drive I didn't think that was a good idea. Ellen asked if I was a member of the Canadian Automobile Association --- I'm not but then I remembered that I do have Roadside Assistance for the trailer that is suppose to include all of our vehicles. I called them and sure enough the Honda was covered and yes they would dispatch someone to unlock the car for me. Within half an hour a nice young man had unlocked my car and I had keys in hand. After paying for roadside assistance for 14 years it finally came in handy.
