Highlights from the weekend

We had dinner at Cliff's on Friday night. Lee was in town and extended the invite to us, Steve& Jane, Judith, and Robach. Tasty meal with perhaps a tad too much wine for some. We had breakfast in the morning at Fred's. Another tasty event. Quiet evening at home watching Mystery... an Elizabeth George, Lynley and Havers. I am currently reading Pride and Predudice which I am thoroughly enjoying. I have to laugh at the time spent pondering everyone's love life.

The traditional Sunday afternoon drive in the Maritimes:
I want you all to know that my parents always went for drives in the car on a Sunday afternoon too. It seems to be a senior thing to do. Anyway after a healthy, but hearty breakfast, gas, and cash, we departed at 11ish, stopping off at Mathieu's to deliver the house keys!!! Declining an offer for tea, we did promise to bring apples back for Joan. They are planning on being in town to visit a niece and her new baby? do some stuff at the office and take in a film festival event, and will drop in sometime in between. The valley was our destination and our first stop was at the Jost Winery where we checked out their wines on display. Unfortunately, the tour wasn't until later in the afternoon. We taste tested a dry red wine ( Foch reserve 2005) and purchased a bottle. We then proceeded to Wolfville, had a light lunch at the Just Us cafe, and browsed a second hand bookstore. Remembering the original reason for our journey we headed off to Elderkin's market to get some apples and other produce. We actually ended up stopping at three markets. It was a great afternoon. Sorry you couldn't be there to share it with us. Love Mom
