Billy, Britni and I had a fabulous trip to Ontario for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. We had clear roads with no traffic snags all the way there and back. As always it was so nice to see family and friends. We all enjoyed our stay at Debra and Randy Vincze's home as well as our few nights at the Days Inn in Brantford and a couple nights camping out in mom and dad's basement. Devine's restaurant in Jarvis was host to the Anniversary dinner and I'm sure all the locals will agree with me saying it was a top notch meal. I was thrilled to be asked to drive the Maid of Honor and after 64 years still the best friend to the bride along with her husband to the festivities. Just spending time with Dorothy and Oakie brought back so many great memories of visiting their home for vacations when I was a kid. Lucky for me their daughter Kim came to their house before I got there to pick them up so I had the chance to visit with her as well. Kim and I had so many fun times together growing up. I would spend a week in the summer at their home in the city and then she would spend a week with me on our farm. A real life Country Mouse City Mouse story!! Even though life has led us down different paths over the years it was so good to fall back into that easy laughter and friendship.
Brit's favorite part of the trip was line dancing at the Army Navy Club in Brantford. She made lots of new friends, especially one named Mark and danced her butt off. She had a blast!!
Billy enjoyed shovelling some snow for everyone, the big meal at the Burger Barn and spending some time with his little buddy (my grandson) Jaxx. (That was my favorite time too!!)
So there are a few of the highlights of our first winter vacation together.
See you next month!!!
