They sell fruit here, and vegetables.  I’ve been in this store quite a few times because it’s close to my house.  I usually buy more fruit than vegetables.  Some of the fruit is outside, and some of it is inside.  When it was really cold last week, they closed the accordion glass doors on the fruit outside so that it didn’t all freeze.  There was still a big space open though so that people could get in and out.  I was afraid that the space was too big and that the fruit would still freeze.  When I went though, I didn’t end up needing any of the fruit from the front, so I don’t know if it actually froze or not.  Now that it’s warm again, they keep those glass doors at the front open so that you can see all the fruit.  Last week, I bought apples and potatoes, but then I went to visit my parents for the weekend, so I haven’t eaten anything yet.

I went to this restaurant for brunch on that really warm Sunday in January.  They gave us water in mason jars and I said: "Look everyone, I'm drinking jam."  I was with my family and they all just looked at me, so I said it again.  No one laughed, and I felt kind of sad about that.  When my food came, I dipped my knife into my water and started spreading it on my toast.  No one noticed, and my toast got soggy.  It was a tough crowd.

Our server kind of looked like a younger version of my brother's grade seven teacher, so we called her Ms. Downey behind her back.

The bathrooms in this place are in the basement which is good to know before hand.  I went into the back of the restraunt by accident and Ms. Downey had to come get me and say: "The bathrooms are just downstairs."  One of the toilets was out of order, but there are three, so it was fine.  I didn't have to wait.
