Back from Ontario

Our trip went well. It seems to take me forever to switch from Pacific time to Eastern I kept taking melatonin, but by Thursday I woke up feeling really dizzy and odd, so thought I better stop that, but seemed to finally have switched over by then.
Anyhow, we had a good visit-everything was in full fall colour-which is beautiful.
Went to Bill and Kathy's for Thanksgiving supper-tasty. We did a learn to curl night- as in hurry hard. We both liked it-curling ice is slipperier than regular ice.
On Thursday we went to Guelph to visit Anne and enjoyed it. We went to Elora-highly recommended. Walked through the gorge, with Kafka and shopped. Got an awesome crow shirt!! Took Anne out for supper and caught up.
We saw Niagara Falls again-still looks like about the same amount of water falling down. = a whole bunch. We also went to Niagara on the Lake. Quaint-but there seems to be an extraordinary amount of old lady wear there.I like all the surrounding farms and houses though.
Richard's parents are planning on moving to a senior's housing place by their church. His mom is really excited about it, his dad less so. We said, 'oh, they've got some nice spots to have a little garden plot. He said, 'sure, it's a good size for a burial plot'
There is a friend of Diane's-special friend or just friend, no one knows. His name is Franco. He is small and Italian and we seemed to see him more than any other member of Richard's family? He was always over at his parents. We thought it odd. And got somewhat tired of this after 8 hour visits. That's right, 8 hours. Richard is much more polite than me. I just left and went upstairs. And found myself pointedly saying,'OK richard let's go to......' Franco sometimes looked up eagerly. I deliberately did not make eye contact.

You went to all the same places we went when we visited Anne. Except we also went to Ottawa. I liked Niagara on the Lake, bought a lot of stuff there.

Did Franco come over for visits even without Diane?

Good thing you had made plans to see Anne and do some other traveling, think if you were there the whole time, having to make conversation with Franco!!

Yes, Franco was over there all the time without Diane!
She didn't even know that he was over there.
What did you buy at NOTL?
