A Birthday Present

Next weekend we head out to Ottawa. Next weekend is alos my daughter's birthday. She will be turning 8. She'd be mortified to know that we haven't really gotten her presents together yet - she, like my mother, places great sotre on such events. We do have a couple of presents for her, but not a complete set and time is running out. So what are we going to do? Give her a shopping trip in Ottawa because one of the things she loves is to go shopping.

My daughter is a fine example of the success of retail therapy. She is one that just wants to buy things - nothing in particular. She just likes shopping. In contrast to her older brother who will save for months to get something. A remarkable difference, wholy attributable to their personalities. I don't think gender has anything to do with it. But it could.

She should have a good time next weekend.
