First of all, a shout-out to the twins, Sarah-Jean and Ewen, who turned 18 a couple of days ago. Sure makes a grandpa feel old!
We intend to stop in at the greenhouse tomorrow on our way to Buffalo so I hope we'll see them.
We headed for the Orlando airport at 5 a.m. this morning. Had lots of time there for breakfast...our flight home was delayed by an hour and a half.
At the Buffalo airport we picked up our Nissan Sentra from Dollar Rent A Car (Hertz), stopped for two bottles of Canadian Club at the Duty Free, and breezed through the border (our Nexus cards only saved us about a minute...there was virtually no traffic at the border).
Then it was a list of errands, etc. Stops at both of our banks to shuffle some funds around, a doctor's appointment for me to get my old man shot of B12, then I dropped Mardi and her knitted toques off at A.J.'s so he could hand them out to the homeless, and so she could enjoy some family time with A.J. and Reggie, while I had my monthly blood test.
Next up a perusal of the accumulated mail.
We had dinner at the Banana Leaf Asian Cuisine before dropping off some brochures for my friend Maurice Hughes on the way to Theatre Aquarius. Unfortunately, the theme of "Sweat" was very dark, relating to the closing of mills in Reading, Pennsylvania and the violence and racism that resulted. By intermission we had seen (and heard) enough and headed home.
I think that next year we will look into season's tickets to the Binbrook Little Theatre instead, where they concentrate on comedies and farce. That's more what we enjoy.
And so, here we are, a busy 17 hours after our alarm went off, tired but content. Tomorrow at this time we'll be arriving back at our southern "home". Can't wait.
