Friday, we started our day at Stella’s on Portage, before visiting the Winnipeg Art Gallery…

after avocado toast with poached eggs and hashbrowns, I finished my meal with a haystack (or fiddle diddle), and I even shared, lol… yum…

once at the WAG, we left our jackets in lockers and explored… so much art to see… my favourite was this carving…

we had a snack in the Katita cafe and wandered around the vault…

it was spectacular;-)…

from there we hurried home, grabbed her bag, and dropped her at the airport for her flight home…

what a wonderful way to end our time together;-)…

up at 3:15 am…

the last of the luggage was at the front door and a quick breakfast was eaten…

in the car by 4:05… dropped her at the airport and drove by the new Western Aviation Museum on my way home… it looked really cool, even at 4:30 in the morning, lol…

back to bed and up at 8:30… texted with her as she waited in Toronto for her connecting flight…

then I returned the den back to normal…

gathered up towels and sheets and ran a load of laundry…

the house feels a little empty and there was no one to make lunch for😢…

I am already thinking about the next time we can get together in person, although we chat nearly everyday…

it was a wonderful visit and I enjoyed each and every minute…

I truly am blessed…

great final day on the island… after breakfast and a song by the chickens and rooster, we went snorkelling at a lovely beach where I saw lots of fish, although no turtles… I did have a little issue with the rocks as I came out of the water and have a small cut and bruise on a finger;-(…

got a final photo of our car which got us around splendidly…

from there we checked out of the hotel and went and had lunch under the banyan tree… it was lovely…

we drove across the island to the heliport close to the airport and finally had our helicopter ride… such beautiful views everywhere we looked…

picked up some chocolate and headed to the airport where we are now waiting to board our flight…

when we left Winnipeg I was just wearing a t-shirt and pants… had put a jacket in my suitcase… it was a warm and sunny day, finally… the longest part of the process always seems to be the waiting, lol… we kept busy playing games on the flight and watching the view out the window… we were happily surprised to find both of the Ottawa/Kingston children waiting for us…

the Baked Expectations Deadly Chocolate Mousse survived the trip nicely and I was pleased to hand it over;-)… likely someone will be eating that for their breakfast…

when we arrived it was around 1 degree and very chilly… particularly as we headed right to Byward Market from the airport for BeaverTails… which were delicious;-)…

ordered Chinese food for dinner and settled in… great to be here…

farewell Mazatlan…

today we were up very early…

we had our luggage down to the lobby before six and waited for the bus to take us to the airport…

while we waited the sun rose… enjoyed the beauty one last time…

we rode the bus through the city which was nice as we had gone around it when we arrived…

when we got to the airport we had breakfast and then waited as our flight was delayed… thank goodness for technology, lol…

after a long flight we arrived home… as we were landing planes were taking people to other vacations…

after a taxi home, the kids discovered the battery on their vehicle was dead… luckily a friend was close by and they were able to boost it and head home…

lots of snow has melted away and looking forward to the rest of it disappearing soon…

been a wonderful time away but I am happy to be in my own home once again…

vacation day seven…

final day of vacation… watched a series to the end of the first season last night, but we still got up around 6:30…

took a picture of the transit station which we have been using and which is right outside the kids’ apartment…

then I packed my bag… although there was talk that I wasn’t going to get everything in it…

20140501-154852.jpg
but I did, with only a small additional bag for carry on…

20140501-154959.jpgit had been overcast and rainy but finally the sky started to clear and we went for a walk along the river…

20140501-155340.jpgtook the bus to the airport wearing a t-shirt… no jacket or sweater… but I forgot my new scarf…

then, I waited – in a very long line at Security, and then for the airplane to arrive… eventually it did, and we were only about fifteen minutes late…

20140501-213114.jpgarrived and Crystal and the little boys picked me up and dropped me off at home…

the snow is gone… how cool is that:-)…

giggling…

this morning I put on a jacket that I bought here with my daughter before heading to the West Coast for the cruise to Alaska…

it made me giggle as I remembered packing to go to the airport and discovering the security tag still attached… it was very late and I was heading to the airport early the next morning… I couldn’t figure out how to get it off and worried that it would set off the alarms… had picked it up particularly for the rain I anticipated we would run into on the trip, so I didn’t want to leave it behind…

20140407-214143.jpg thank goodness my son-in-law came by after he got off work at eleven that night and figured out how to remove it…

tonight I got to have a few lovely macaroons which my nephew brought back from his trip to Ottawa… very tasty…

had a great visit with one of my friends and saw some pictures of her new granddaughter… so sweet…

when she left I stood at the window and waved, as I always do…

reminded me of my Aunty Vi… she died many years ago… she and my Uncle Don lived in a tiny little house filled with knick knacks… she loved to make things such as pottery, knit things of all types, food that she would share with all of her family… she made me laugh…

she always stood at the door to wave everyone off… my dad’s sister, she was very special…

lovely to remember her tonight…
