Safe and sound...that's me following my return trip home from Florida driving Old Bro#1's car. I had great trip and the weather was fantastic all the way.
My visit with M.E. was a much needed chit-chat and we shopped till we dropped. How time flys when your're having fun!
I left her house yelling and screeming that I didn't want to go however duty called and I did promise the next visit would be longer.
Till next time...

HERE SHE GOES AGAIN... Yup, I'm headin south and flying out of TO to sunny, warm Florida Monday morning. Old Bro#1 and his wife will pick my up at Orlando just after noon and we will travel to their home in Lake Wales where I will stay the night. They plan to pack the trunk of their car that evening and I will be driving it north to Toronto for them but not before I have a little visit with my dear friend M.E. and her husband for a couple of days. M.E. lives in Clearwater which is about 2&1/2 hours from Old Bro#1's house. While I'm in her area I hope to get a little shopping done and have a good ol visit with her.
I like to give myself about 2&1/2 days driving to get to Toronto then switch cars and head home.

I'm sorry I will miss seeing my friend Doodles and her husband since their BIG ADVENTURE will have begun. I wish them well and I hope to see them in August!

Till next time...

OUCH!!! My thumb is so sore cuz I was using the remote control yesterday afternoon to the extreme. You see just as the Mens World Championship Curling was half over the Masters Golf Tournament was starting.

Some of you know that I was a curler in my youth and not a bad one at that! I fooled around with golf over the years but in the last five years I have become more interested. As long as my old knees behave themselves I hope to enjoy another season on the links.

I was spell bound watching the awesome shots made by Team Canada skipped by Glenn Howard, Rus's younger brother, against Germany. The Canadians out played and trounced the Germans so there was no need to play the 10th end. It was a fantastic game and the score was 8 to 3.

In the Masters it saddened me to watch "Tiger Woods" miss so many shots and the way he reacted to the blunders. The winner of the tournament was a real cutie pie Zach Johnson from Iowa. I really enjoyed watching him make some great shots and the reactions when his wife and 3month old son met him at the end of the game. The "Green Jacket" suits him!

Till next time...

Here is a pic of two of the nicest people I know. They are the daughters of my dear friend M.E. She and I have been friends for over 53yrs. Now that is a long time. Her daughters, TJ and CA and I had a wonderful visit last week while I was in Mississauga. Both girls were so interesting to talk with and we had fun sharing memories and events going on in their lives. I can hardly wait till my next visit with them.

Till next time...
