Saturday August 24- four more sleeps

Had a fabulous visit from (sister) Jo this week. Two wonderful dinners with great company. Shopping ( of course)- and the Burtynsky exhibit- glorious!

In response to a video I made on "how to pack for China", the friend I dedicated it to sent me this video this morning. So cute. That's why I adore her..........

August 19, 2013 Busy week coming up........

Had a fabulous Book Club/Pool party/Bar B Q yesterday. Last time I'll see my "book peeps" for a year. Hope to do some meetings VIA Skype.

This week my sister arrives for three days for one last visit before I leave. I'm so excited! She does no know yet, but Martine and Roy have perfected Hot Pot and are making it for us Wednesday night.

Dinner with the kids on Thursday night. Hopefully, we'll take in the Burtynsky exhibit at the Museum of Nature

My kids treated me to Bar B Q pizza and wonderful salads last night in Aylmer August 17, 2013
