Some of My Most Favoured Quotes

HERO

Ontario Car Dealership Had My Loyalty! Here’s Why…

My father had re-modelled a cabinet to fit a small hallway just off the cooking kitchen.
This cabinet had two large bins in it, one which held a large bag of flour, the other held a large bag of icing sugar and brown sugar.
