Noodles said something big was going down, but even she was caught off guard. Kim came to take us for a walk. We were pretty excited, but seriously, how often does Kim come to take us for a walk? First. Time. Ever.
Completely oblivious to the fact that something might be happening, we go off in a blissful fog. We just love our walks.
Guess what! When we got home, Janet and Phil were gone. There were lots of hugs and kisses before Kim took us for our walk. Way more than normal. Another clue! WTF Noodles! You told me you were on top of this kind of junk.
Turns out, they went to Toronto to visit Briana and Ted and their super cute kitties!

| Look how cute their cuties are! Keido and Winnie! Winnie is the young, fast moving kitty in the blurry background and Keido is the older blurry kitty in the front. |
They saw many beautiful gardens.
Janet decided to pull a few weeds and goes nuts!

They went to the local garden market, which is a very convenient wagon ride away. All this started by Janet pulling out a few weeds in a little stone pathway and escalated from there - big time! Next thing Briana knows - wagon full of new plants and paper bags full of old plants. Janet kind of steamrolled ahead on this project. She is
hoping they aren't saying things like "who the hell invited her?!?" or "let's wait until she's wheel chair bound before extending another invite". |
 |
| All done. See the cute little walk way? |
They all piled into an Autoshare car and drove to the country for one night. They went to Collingwood which is on the Georgian Bay. It was a really cute town with tons of great brick houses. Janet says there are also many fabulous brick houses in Toronto, as well. Briana and Ted live in a very convenient location and Briana rides her bike to work everyday.

| We really wish we could have gone to this puppy friendly coffee shop. |
 |
| Incredible brick Victorian style home. |
 |
| This cute sheep was one of several metal animals on a fence surrounding a patio where they all had lunch. Outside the patio was a delivery truck that kept his really noisy motor running for most of the time the food didn't arrive - which was an incredibly long period of time. They were unhappy campers! |
 |
| Driver Extraordinaire! |
On the last day, Ted, Phil and Janet went for a nice bike ride. They had a great time riding up to a fabulous park. Janet says the rail tracks were not the prettiest part of the ride...they were just on the way there!
Last lunch, near Briana's office. Oyshi Sushi.

| Last but not least, OUR senior policy advisor for the Ontario Provincial Government! |
Brad and Kim are taking really good care of us, and we love them!

Looks like you had a fun time! Wish I'd known you were going to Collingwood - that's where Pam is pretty much all summer. I must tell you, I was shocked when I heard you were heading to Toronto. Shocked! Chum
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun visit! The garden looks fabulous, much prettier then when I last saw it (under a few feet of snow!).
ReplyDeleteThat blurry photo was the best you could do for the cats?!? Also, can you blur me out in the car photo - that outfit is ill-advised (although the warmest stuff I had with me).
