About halfway between where I live and Montreal is Lake George, N.Y., which makes the resort town a good place to stop for a break or lunch . . . or a penguin shopping spree. I’ve stopped at A Christmas to Remember a number of times, but I never bought as many ornaments as I did at the end of summer 2009. The bag full of penguins brought my total for the summer, starting with the trip to Germany, to 96 ornaments.
