Christmas Day, 2007

Lori and I had a most enjoyable Christmas Day dinner with Colin, Lynda, Martin and Alison at the Waring House Inn, (which also has a winery and Cookery school). The Inn is located near Picton, just south of Belleville, about 3 hours from our cottage.





After dinner, Colin, Martin and Lori played their guitars and gave us a most enjoyable concert of Christmas and folk music.

Today, Boxing Day, we crossed the border at about noon, and have made it as far as Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania, where we are staying at a nice Hilton Garden Inn.

The last week or so has been hectic with all the packing, moving and unpacking for our move from Ottawa, and then packing again for 4 months away in Florida. If our car had gills, it would certainly be packed right up to them.

My next post will be after we arrive in Florida and get (hopefully soon after that) high speed Internet access.

Best wishes to all our family for the New Year, and now that I am retired, we hope to see more of you all in this coming year.

Maybe Florida will bring many exciting posts??? I hope you both have a great New Year and find your way over to Texas, remember Southwest airlines - nonstop flight to us - very cheap.

A trip to Texas is definitely on our agenda while we are in Florida. We are at the Country Inn this evening and we thought of you and Callum coming and swimming in the pool with us when we were at the Country Inn in Columbia.

YAY for your being retired now dad! Lots of celebrating must be done! I will look forward to seeing you all soon. There's never any cheap flights to Charleston, but... we're here! ;)
