Back to School....

This morning we headed into pick up Kristina and be the taxi to take her into North York as she had a meeting at York University for 2:00 this afternoon. We had lunch at the University and got to tour around a bit. You would think you have visited the United Nations when you walk around the University. Great spot.

Earlier we stopped at Staples so Kristina could do a bunch of photo copying, and low and behold the store Sales Manager turns out to be Judy's Brother Howard's son, Dan! We had a real good chin wag with Dan and then headed over to the University. He has been there about 3 years. The Store is the 1st Staples store in Canada.

After Kristina finished at the University, we headed over to a Jeep Dealer on Yonge St. as I wanted to look at some of the new models... the Patriot, the Liberty, and Wrangler.

We made it back to watch the Mtl. Cdns. lose to Pittsburg.... oh no....

Tomorrow is a trip to London... more cars to look at....

Till tomorrow...

Let's getter done!


Turned out to be a great day weather wise in Woodstock. It rained overnight, but the sun was out first thing and it got warm today!

We headed in to see the kids at 10:00 this morning. Judy had a big load of our laundry to take care of and I wanted to get our Grand Am cleaned up today. We are thinking about trading it in on something with 4 wheel drive that we can tow behind the RV. I wanted our car cleaned up as it will probably be a trade in. Need every $$$ out of it!

Shawn was in London this morning for an interview for a Fellowship for 2011. He finished up at 12 noon or so and headed over to join us in Woodstock and have some lunch. He says the interview went well, and will not find out any results till June.

He is the one in the centre all spiffed up....

This afternoon it was back to work to getter done! Kristina wanted a set of shelves installed in her Office upstairs in the house, so we all worked together to getter done! We did.... but I forgot to take of picture of them, so you will have to believe me.

Kristina cooked up a great chicken dinner with mushroom sauce that was simply devoured by all.

Kristina bought her dog, Caly, a dino bone.... it has turned into a life long task for the dog to eat it!
Check it out.

Tomorrow Judy and I are giving Kristina a ride to York University as she has a meeting, and we will look around North York for a vehicle.

Till tomorrow...

Today was a great day! Young Paige Hollinger was baptised at St Peter's Anglican Church in Oakville. Turned out to be a great morning - no rain! And it was an early morning.... 8:00 a.m. service! Judy and I were up getting ready at 5:30.... yikes....
