I will not say good-bye...just "See you later"

It's Monday and we are leaving tonight. So much to do and so little time! First on the agenda at 7:30 am was to take Madison to her hairdressers which we were lucky enough to get her an appointment with on such short notice. After dropping her off we drove into Paris so I could stop by to see the folks that live on Amelia St.. Jake, Deb and Julie were as happy to see me as I was to see them. We enjoyed a coffee together and chatted while they had breakfast and got ready to head off to their daily activities. It was soooo nice to see them! After a quick hello to Megan and Debra who were working I was off again, back to Jane's to start baking.

With the cupcakes and angel food cake baked and cooling, Lyndon and I went over to Gillin St. to visit with Russell for a few minutes. He quickly and efficiently updated us on all the goings on in the neighbourhood where we used to live. Apparently there are 6 houses on that street in foreclosure!! How sad that people are having such a hard time.

Back to Jane's to finish up filling and decorating the desserts and then back to Canine Design to pick up my naked puppy! She was so cold and shivering I had to buy her a new sweater...poor baby!

When we returned Jane, Lyndon and I loaded up the car with treats for HBBS and headed to Hamilton. First stop was Lyndon's old place of employment to say hello and then up the mountain to the office. You know how the seagulls swarm you at Port Dover begging for your fries...well it was kind of like that! Brad and Blain crack me up with their love of sweets, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take them something. Apparently the sugar coma from the carrot cakes I sent up there this summer had worn off! After a final farewell we headed back to Brantford to get ready for our evening at Kelsey's.

Supper with Sally, Melinda and Diana was great...love that Chicken Sonoma Salad! Soon everyone started arriving and we spent the rest of the evening mingling and chatting up the Kelsey's bar area. Unfortunately I forgot to get my camera out until the end of the evening so I only got a few pictures to share but it sure was great to see everyone. Thanks to all for coming out and making the night so special. I miss you all and hope someday you will venture down here for a vacation.

Guests: Kristie, Greg, Desiree, Destiny, Melanie, Cindy, Leo, Sally, Diana, Melinda, Susan, Christy, Grant, Andrew, Marta, Tracey, April, Rory, Mary Ann, Steven.

Thanks and take care...until we meet again!
