Hugs to all the health care professionals and other helping hands at the Cranbrook mass immunization centre.

A cycle of circuit breaker Hugs & Slugs

Hugs: On Thursday, April 1, I went to DJ's hair salon and had my hair cut etc. in the afternoon. Then I quickly darted over to Save On foods and picked up a few groceries, then went straight home. Later that evening I noticed that the silver chain I had been wearing that day was gone from my neck. I thought that there would not be a chance in heaven of ever seeing it again. Finally I decided it is worth the chance to call the places I had been. DJs was closed so I decided to call Save On first. I was so surprised when the customer service person said that there WAS a silver chain in the lost and found! It turned out to be mine! I want to thank the person who found it and turned it in. It restored my faith in human nature and confirmed again to me that Cranbrook is a pretty good place to live. Thank you so much again!
