it was a long night, what with my buddy, the bed hog… not only does he hog the bed, but he snuggles right up… and he’s hot…

up early and checked out a few feeds on my phone… my grandson got up about half an hour later and we had some quiet time while the others slept…

when they got up, we had omelettes for breakfast and tried to get tickets to go up the Peace Tower, but is was closed for the day due to a protest…

we drove to Bayshore Mall because my daughter said we needed to go there… and discovered a beautiful show of mannequins dressed in flowers… had a wonderful time wandering around and taking pictures while the boys did other things…

then three of us took a bendy bus, train and double decker bus to get home;-)… lots of fun…

home for a nap, a quick hair trim and then the boys dropped us off for a fancy meal while they went out for dinner and a movie… and even remembered to take the picture I asked for;-)…

we went to Atelier and had a magnificent fourteen course dinner… here are a few of the courses…

they also brought us each an adorable micro mini cake with a chocolate candle that burned…

an excellent day;-)…

vacation day four…

shoes, Smoque Shack, suitcase, transit, turkey, vacation

got up, had breakfast, and went to pick up groceries for our turkey dinner tomorrow night…

while we were out I found a great pair of black runners, which I wore for the rest of the day… my feet are a bit sore from all the walking…

came home, put away the groceries and went downtown to have lunch at The Smoque Shack… the beef
bones were delicious and reminded me of Tony Roma’s…

20140428-220053.jpghad a wonderful drink…

20140428-220332.jpgwandered around Byward Market for a while and found a great dessert shop – Oh So Good, which serves cake by the piece much like Baked Expectations…

20140428-220828.jpgwe stopped in at Letellier and found sandals and work shoes… there is some conversation that I might need another suitcase, lol…

walked along the canal in the sun looking for tulips, before taking the bus back home…

had a nap, prepped potatoes, turnip and stuffing… swam in the building’s pool before dinner and watched some tv…

getting to be an old hand with the transit system…

the weather was beautiful and it was another great day:-)…
