Wandering Wednesday
I must have turned my watch alarm off at 7:00 without realizing it because I woke up at 7:30 to the sound of Roland showering. And so we weren’t out early enough to get our garbage, recycling and compost out so they’ll have to wait another few weeks. It’s a good thing I decided last night that I wouldn’t be able to get up early enough for a swim before picking Flora up at 9:15. I did enjoy the walk to the train bridge and back in the conservation area with Roland and Luna but it did make things a bit tight for me to finish getting ready to leave for our Montebello trip. Travel conditions were great and the drive flew by. We had about 10 minutes to sit inside in front of the gorgeous fireplace before Karen and Cathy arrived from Ottawa and Sheela and Danielle arrived from Montreal. We then walked along the river to the town of Montebello and wandered through the town with Marketa who arrived about noon. We continued walking until our 1:00 lunch reservation which was timed for Arianne’s arrival. A great lunch was followed by some more wandering in the woods. Then we walked back to get our cars and went to our Airbnb for a bit before our 6:00 dinner reservation at the Chateau. Another great meal with great conversation. We shut the place down. Marketa and Arianne had to drive back to Ottawa but the rest of us stayed overnight in the spacious Airbnb. I bought a lovely pack of kitchen towels at Costco so we could each take home a memento our girls getaway – my idea is that we will all think of each other and this trip when we are using the towels.
100DayProject Day 45
Another day with no crafting progress, but we did give a non-retirement themed card to Sheela to celebrate her retirement. I think it’s actually a very appropriate card for the way in which we chose to celebrate her retirement: a day with friends wandering together in the snow.
