They Came Back!

Like we always knew they would!  We were super happy to see Janet and Phil and did our whining, crying, yelping and running around routine that these suckers never fail to fall for!  You would think they would tire of it, but not so; they lap it up like crazy!  Having said that, we were super happy to see them.

Our last photo of the UK - Phil trying his best to stuff everything inside the suitcases.  Normally Janet and Phil travel pretty light, but this trip was the exception.  Janet wanted to finish the binding on a couple of quilts so that meant increasing their luggage.  Check in time - they could barely lift them but were under the limit.

Why does he look so shocked!  This is the first and last time they will travel with so much baggage.

Janet was so tired the next day she almost felt sick.  Trooper  Pain in the ass that she is, she leapt at was dragged to every outing.  They went for lunch and by the time they arrived at Fabric Depot, she was somewhat cheered up.  Janet bought some fabric and batting and Bronwyn purchased some tulle for her office Halloween costume.  The costume committee threw themselves into action after dinner!

Janet "measured' the tulle and Bronwyn "sewed" the tulle.

Bronwyn is going to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

Looks very good!  She even has Toto in a teeny little basket!

And look, even I can do my best to be Dorothy!

I'm a really nice doggie, but what I really wanted to bark out was get this junk off me!

Bronwyn and Mike left early to go to work and Bronwyn was super sad to say goodbye to me....damn straight - I'm a pretty special doggie!

After they left, Janet tidied up a bit and Phil started to pack things up.

Waiting:

Still waiting:

Noodles, seriously, can't you see what's goin' down?

Janet was beginning to think Noodles was going to stay in Camp USA!

At long last, they threw us into the back of the good ol' Volvo and drove us downtown....so they could have the same Italian lunch they had yesterday?  WTF?  This is us, watching from across the street while they eat!

La Burina for Phil.

This is what Mikey had yesterday.

Gino's favourite for Janet.

This is what Janet and Bronwyn had for lunch yesterday.  This is Janet's absolute favourite.

Bronwyn told Janet that if she had a daughter, Bronwyn would dress her in tulle all the time.   Guess what!  Bronwyn could fulfill her dream at Costco alone!

Here

and here

and here again...and this is just one store!

We are part way through the journey and I've had enough of this car business.  As much as I want to go to Camp Canada, my buttcrack needs to be hauled into the back of the car big time.

No, Phil, I don't want to get back in the car!

Bonus after the car ride!  We get to stay in a hotel again!  There are just two of us now, so nodoggy has to be snuck in.  I'm cool with this hotel business.

Noodles, maybe not so much!

Come out from behind the drapes, Noodies!  It will be OK!
