WE WENT FOR A DRIVE YESTERDAY.


I saw an ad on Facebook for gluten free fish and chips at a little restaurant over near Keremeos so we went there for supper.  The meal was good and Aileen had no ill effects from it.  We would certainly eat there again.  We came home over the mountain on the Fairview-Cawston Road and I stopped at the top for some wildflowers.
