8 minutes to 12

Let's see what kind of an update I can do in the 8 minutes before lunch!

Saturday we spent the day looking at dining room sets. As some of you will know this is round two of our search. I never fully gave an explanation to the outcome of round one...don't think I can do it in (now) 7 minutes so I'll save it for another day. We found a good set at Adobe on Dundas W. but haven't made any final decisions yet. Stay tuned.

Sunday we drove out to Port Hope/Cobourg. Ya...we haven't put the winter tires on the car yet as it's been so mild and ....well, we're procrastinators. Of course, yesterday was the first driving altering snow fall of the season. A little scary but not as bad as it could have been.

(Damn the phone.... hang on!)

Okay! I'm back....3 minutes to go.

Got to have a visit with my Dad...oh man sometimes that is too funny. He really lives in his own world and yesterday he asked me if I've seem my mom lately. When I told him "no" he said, "Well she's around her somewhere. Over there I think" and he pointed to the other side of the cafeteria. First off, my mom and dad split up when I was 3 and we moved to BC when I was 5. My dad last saw my mom at my wedding and then she passed away two months later. Maybe it's a twisted side of my sense of humour but the idea of them visiting now, kind of cracks me up.

Other than seeing my dad, we had a great visit with my aunt and uncle. It's amazing how much they've become surrogate parents to me. Love you AK and UB.

The drive home was much better as the roads where pretty dry and there wasn't a lot of traffic. This morning however...ICE CITY.

And that's it. Lunch time.
