Spring...Has it finally Found Us?

May 1st.....is this the first day of spring?  Sure feels like it is.  I turned off the furnace this morning.  Man, May 1st.  This is crazy.

But the sun was shining and by noon the temperature was up to 20'C.  Time to get the vette out of the garage and get on the road.  Off we headed to Woodstock to visit with The Hollinger's who arrived last week back in Canada for the summer.  We took the longgggggg way.  No freeways if we can help it, ever.  It was a great drive through the country side sniffing up the country smells, fresh cut grass, the budding trees, the manure!!!  Nice thing about riding in a convertible, with the top down, is that those smells pass through very quickly.

We arrived at the park to find John and Judy in relaxation mode which we quickly joined into.  They had a great bbq dinner all ready to go for us.   John had to watch the Leaf's loose...........!!!  (sorry John)   He did shed a tear or two.  Maybe Saturday night they will do better.

This morning we woke up to another bright sunny day.  Judy thought she could sneak off with the car but we stopped her.

We stopped in for a quick visit with Kristina and Gwenny before we hit the road for home.  Kristina is only a couple weeks away from having baby number 2.  I think she is more than ready but she sure looks great.  Gwenny made shy for a minute or two but it did not take long for the smiles to appear.  She is cutie for sure and loves to take over PopPop's knee.

It was a nice visit.  Thanks again John & Judy.  We will see you again soon.  Best of luck Kristina with the new baby.  I am sure with all your experience now it will be a piece of cake.  Enjoy them. They grow up far too quickly.

Until next time - safe travels.
