In order to answer this question, I made plans with my dear old friend of thirty years. Gosh, it's crazy to think we've known each other for that long. We first met when I moved on to her street many moons ago. And even though I now live in Toronto, we always manage to pick up right where we left off, as though distance and time had never kept us apart. It was just after Christmas so I dropped off the kids at my parents' in Hamilton and hung out at Limeridge Mall with my friend.


The main purpose of our visit to the mall was to return her gift of perfume. You see, she told her wonderful husband that she wanted Burberry London perfume when what she really wanted was the Original Burberry. Once she made the return, we went to a couple of shoe stores to check out some boots before heading across the street and checked in at McDonald's for a McCafé coffee break.
