Guelph II



This is the wonderful dinner that John cooked for us last night. Everything tasted as wonderful or better than it smelled. Most of the ingredients were fresh from the farmers' market making the dinner even more tasty...fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, apples for the apple crisp... We enjoyed the evening just sitting around the table and visitng with each other.













This is another photo destined for our "Hall of Fame" with the "Pole Pictures." (Laura and Joe with one in North Carolina and the other in South Carolina, Vivian and Joe singing in the rain at DisneyWorld, Vivian and Joe in Liverpool, Cristen and Laura in Colorado, etc. each time they are hanging onto a pole of some sort.) I finally figured out a way to keep John from putting horns on my head...

Guelph


This is downtown Guelph. It is a really neat "little" downtown area. The city has about 100,000 people, but the downtown area is neat and quaint.







Laura and John took us to a little town called Elora today. It was a really neat little town, too...lots of little shops and original art in galleries.




We enjoyed a wonderful butter tart, which is a native Canadian treat, coffee for Laura and John with cappuccino for Tim and me at this cutest little "patisserie." Laura and I decided that we would do a "seefood" pose for Tim; I can remember when Laura would have been embarrassed to death to do this with me...she's mellowing out in her old age. John almost decided that he didn't want to be in our family anymore if we were going to act like that!






All of us in the patisserie. John deserved what he got with the seefood picture! Every group picture we've made this weekend so far, he's put horns of some sort on my head!

Right now we are back at John and Laura's and he's cooking dinner for us. It smells great!

Just A Little Note

Not much to say this morning, but I wanted you all to know that I am still alive. Had a terrible headache Thursday - Sunday...it eased up on Friday a bit and finally went away completely on Sunday afternoon..what a relief! That's going to be my first question when I get to heaven, I think, is why did I get to have those headaches? Tim took good care of me though. We're going to see Laura and John this weekend. I'm really excited about going to Canada. Never been there before and even more excited about seeing my babies. (I know they don't think of themselves as babies, but they will always be my babies-even John because he loves and takes care of my Laura so well!)
I'm starting a new class tonight at the Grad school - Career Counseling. Gotta go get my reading done before class.

New Photo

This is a new photo for the church directory. I am trying to add it as my blog photo but I have not yet quite figured out how to do it yet.

Tampa Trip

This is the seafood resturant where we ate the first night. We had coconut almond shrimp. It was good, but not nearly as good as at the Rainforest cafe in California.
This is me in the bushes outside the Salvador Dali Museum. It was a really neat exhibit that we went to today!
We ate gelato here today. It was good, but not as good as Italy.
