I have spent the last few days on a short, but busy trip to Canada. Several weeks ago my boss asked me if I would be interested in helping a family he knew move. They needed someone to drive a U-Haul truck up to Kingston, Ontario. Of course because it means crossing the border they needed someone with a passport and knowing that I had just gotten back from Italy earlier this year I was the natural choice. We got all the details worked out and left on Sunday morning. Although it was two days of long driving this trip came with a bonus! Kingston is only about two hours where my very dear friend Regina lives! I was able to take and extra day off work to go see her. Yesterday we spend the day walking around a cute little town called Port Perry. There was a nice waterfront and little shops. We had lunch here and then went back to her little town of Uxbridge. Here we again explored little stores and went to a bakery. In the afternoon we put in a movie and both fell asleep and took naps. Later we made dinner and then went to see the new Harry Potter movie. She loved it and thought it was great, I mostly laughed and thought it was ridicules. I am sure I would have enjoyed it more if I has seen moves 5-7 before I watched the final number 8. This morning we spent walking around her farm and she showed me all the things that were in season. (Stayed tuned for pictures of me "helping" her so some chores!) Now I am sitting at the airport, waiting for my flight to Chicago. One nice thing about the Toronto airport is that they have free Wi-Fi, unlike most airports theses days. I am ready to be home and in my own bed but I will dread going back to work tomorrow!
Well I guess that is is for now. Just had a little bit of time so I thought I would update about my quick Canadian adventure!
Love from Liberty,
Peggy
