ON THE ROAD AGAIN AND AGAIN

Saturday was very springlike and sunny.


Easter morning we picked up Morgan and Ben at Grama Robbie's house to drive to Theresa and Mikie's.  They where very happy and excited after already filling their baskets with Easter goodies.


We where all in a happy mood and the ride sped quickly by.  Signs of spring are all around as the trees are starting to turn that love shade of gentle spring green.  A cool day for driving but not actually raining.  The Easter Bunny had come again to their place so they excitedly looked for eggs everywhere imaginable.  This brings back memories of my own happy four on Easter morning.  Then to pass the time to wait for others coming the puzzle was set up.  After all the eggs had been found!
A puzzle of a thousand pieces will be a challenge


We waited for Rick to come with Sandra and also Leah and Craig.






Lots of good fun and laughter.
Then it was time to hit the road home to take Sandra home and listen to the hockey game.
It was not until we got home that we remembered we had to pick up Panteli's house keys that Theresa had used to get into the apartment to get the big table out.



Mikie was called out to work as a firetruck had a nail in their tire.  That was disappointing.

So we were on the road again to drive out to meet Theresa to exchange keys.  We meet three-quarters of the way and listened to good time music on the radio.

It seemed like we just got home when an up dated message came from Carol to say Panteli would be arriving at 7 not 8.  It was cloudy but a little bit of sun was shining.
Arriving at the airport we discovered the plane was to be nearly three hours late.
Too long for us oldies to wait at the airport and like dad said Panteli would not expect us to.  Sure enough he called when he arrived and was happy to take a taxi home.

We had plans for today to drive out to see our friend in Burnaby but sometimes plans have to change.  Dad is a good driver and likes to drive but not quite this much.  I know I feel worn out today. 

But I am off for a good brisk walk
Maybe do a little in the garden
Cancelled our drive to Burnaby
And read my books!



Thanks Theresa and Mikie

Is that why you are late posting this morning since you are tired from all the driving? Not so Mary and Michael John. After driving to Kitchner for Easter they are now driving to Montreal for the hocky game today and then come back to drive to Kitchner again and then drive all the way to Alberta. I wonder where they will drive to all the time when they live in Alberta, they dont seem to like staying home.
