Weekend Wishes!

Wishing all of my dear and gentle readers a happy, healthy and wonderful weekend.

I'm going to watch "What Not to Wear," do a little decluttering and get a good night's rest. Will be back to blog lots this weekend.

Greetings from Gananoque

Welcome to Gananoque, Ontario

One of the beautiful bed and breakfasts of Gananoque

The Victoria Rose Inn

Our big expedition for my trip to the St. Lawrence was a wonderful day spent in Gananoque, just across the river. If Anne of Green Gable didn't live in Prince Edward Island, I think she would have been very happy in this beautiful town.

The weather was idyllic and we had a great day. We had lunch at a beautiful inn on the river, spent time seeing the turn of the century homes, visited the town museum, ate ice cream and even started my Christmas shopping -- all in the company of two of my favorite people. I couldn't ask for more.

Wishing you idyllic weather, ice cream and the company of your favorite people for this holiday weekend.

In One Day...

I went from this,

and this,



to this scene!

Following four lovely, quiet and relaxing days the trip home was a blur of (cancelled) flights, and several buses. I found myself on the last leg of the trip waiting for the bus home at the corner of Eighth Avenue and 42nd Street and was struck by the contrast from where I was to where I'd been.

Many more pictures to share in the next week. Wishes to all for a great week and prayers for Amy.

One Day to V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N...

I'll be here in just about 36 hours, but who's counting?

I can barely wait! I came back from lunch today and thought it was Wednesday and started pushing the buttons on the phone madly to dial into a conference call...24 hours early. I've started to get organized, including having my passport ready for our trip to Canada.

Thanks all, for your terrific support for my healthy eating. This is about the time I start to get frustrated that my progress isn't going faster and just go off to eat anything I want, generally with lots of sugar and salt. Today's "vices" included spinach, carrots, banana and grapes and no diet soda. No matter what the scale says tomorrow, I know I ate well today.



I'm going to get the new chip for my camera tomorrow and promise lots of wonderful pictures when I get back from the North Country.
