A Friendly Weekend

Loads of friends were over this weekend.

Our friend D is expecting. P knitted her a stunning baby blanket which we gave to her this weekend

This is our friend D's belly with P's blanket in the background.

Our Super Friend Lola:

Sangrias were made (and consumed)

Lola has known Zoe since she was a baby. Zoe goes crazy when she hears her voice.

We visited Q2C the Perimeter Institute's birthday celebrations.

Mars Rover:

I was ill just watching people do this:

We went for a nice walk on Sunday with my sister, J. It was a beautiful day in K-W though the fall colours were past their peak.

Thanksgiving part 4

On the holiday Monday, P and I took P's mom to William Lyon Mackenzie House. Its a large, beautiful, cedar roof home located on a huge woodland lot here in Kitchener where the former Prime Minister grew up. The house is run exactly as it would have been run back in the day. We were very impressed by the knowledgeable staff, the smell of fresh baked pumpkin cookies coming from the kitchen, the sound of the flute from the parlour and the beautiful antiques in each room. What a gem we found in our own neighbourhood!

I love the title of this book. I wish I could have reached inside the case to read the 19th century wisdom.

A modern child playing a very old game. He lost his interest pretty quickly. It can't hold a candle to a Nintendo DSi I guess.

On Sunday, P and I took P's mom to Stratford for lunch at the always delicious, Italian restaurant Pazzo for thin crust, wood fired pizzas. We strolled along Ontario street, browsed the shops, and took a walk along the river.

I accompanied a professional photographer, Shirley Bittner of Ottawa, on a photo shoot over the weekend. I spent most of the time trying not to make a nuisance of myself and staying out of Shirley's way. I got a few shots however. The couple are P's cousin, N, and her boyfriend J.
