Parking Is An Art

 David asked me to change the sign.  So here it is.

I last saw the Leafs win the Stanley Cup when I was 30 years old!  Anyone born after 1967 may never get to see them do it!  Sad isn't it?

---------------------------------------------

Got to the greenhouse at 9:45 and chaos had already set in.  Abandoned cars all over the lot!

The front row..........

And the middle section........

We'd be lucky to get three lines of parking this way.  So, I parked my van at the end of the front line and encouraged the next arrivals to copy me.

That just took a few minutes to sort out.  Then it was time for the middle section.  This took a little longer.  Once again, I used my van as an example.

The trick this time was to keep them from parking three deep in the middle and trapping another shopper's car!

It took an hour to sort this one out totally, but we finally made it.  That's my van again, parked at the end of the third row this time.

A bit of a challenge, especially when one customer advised Sarah-Jean that he was fine with parking his car partially blocking the driveway (and he didn't buy anything).  But we got through it.

And there were highlights!  Al Knapp tipped me a quarter.  And a lady named Tara dropped off a dozen home cooked cookies for the staff.

And Steve and Bonnie showed up and, before loading their car with plants, took Mardi and me to the Vietnamese restaurant "Langs" on the Grimsby waterfront.  Excellent food!  And the "Tiger" beer was pretty good too.

--------------------------------------------

Blue Jays must have been depressed by the Leafs loss.  They threw in the towel losing 3 - 0 to the Rays today.

Sending this early so that you'll be reminded to watch the Lunar Eclipse at about 9:30 p.m.

Keep breathing.  Stay well.
