Thursday April 21. This weekend is Easter and according to Kristal, Joan will be with her family; so I'm taking Joan out today. Before picking Joan up I called Carlton University to see where the Tim Horton's was located.


I picked Joan up at 10:30. As we approached the on ramp to the Queen's way at Castlefrank there was an OPP officer standing on the side of the ramp opposite his vehicle. We had no idea what he was doing there so we stopped. He didn't wave me to continue or to stop so we slowly approached and I rolled down the window and asked "what's up" and he said he was checking for seat belts and since we had ours on he said to go ahead.


We got off the Queen's way at Bronson Ave. and drove onto the university campus found Parking Lot #2. I entered the building and climbed 4 flights of stairs and when I got to the top I couldn't find the Tim Horton's. Found an information both and not only found out where the Tim Horton's was, but was told there were three other Tim Horton's on the campus. The women gave me a map of the campus and pointed out where each one was located. (So it looks like Joan and I will be going out during the week three more times.)


We stayed in the parking lot to eat our snack. I phoned my friend Pat to see if she was home so we could stop by for a visit but Irene said she was at the dentist in Billings Bridge Plaza. So we drove over there to see if we could catch her but we couldn't. So then we went to see if my friend Sheryll (who lives off Springfield) was home. No luck there either. So we phoned the Colonnade in Kanata and order a pizza


We got back on the Queen's way and headed for the Colonnade. We ate the pizza in the car and then I took Joan home at 1:00.

Thursday April 14. When looking at the weather channel last night, they were calling for possible flurries on Saturday and Sunday and since I just put the summer tires back on the car; I decided to take Joan out today. Called Joan at 9:30 and told her I would be in today instead of Sunday and she agreed.

I picked Joan up at 10:30 and we took the queen ways to Riverside drive and up Smyth road to the General Hospital. Parked in the handicapped and went in to information and asked for direction to the Tim Horton’s and I had to walk to almost the back of the hospital. Found the Tim Horton’s and ordered two teas and a bagel. Went back to the car and we left and went down the road to have our snack. We called our aunt Alice and she and our cousin Mary were home so we went to visit with them. While Alice talked with Joan Mary and I talked about the new information I found about our family tree.


We stayed for about an hour and then we left and went to Glenn’s chip wagon to have a hot dog and fries for lunch. We finished lunch and then I took Joan home around 1:30.

Sunday April 10, 2011

Sunday April 10. I called Sharon this morning and told her Joan and I were going to the new Tim Horton’s in Aylmer. She said she would join us.


I picked Joan up at 10:30 and we headed to the Tim Horton’s on the Aylmer lower road. As we were pulling in Sharon was too, so I pulled up along side her and Joan recognised her car and was surprised.











I got out of the car and Sharon got in to chat with Joan. We didn’t use the drive through so I went inside to order our tea and bagel. While Sharon and Joan talked in the car I stood outside.



Then Joan and I drove just a few yards to the new construction site to check out the new homes they were building. Then we went to the other residential area just before the Champlain Bridge and checked out the homes there.


Then we went to Donna's Express restuarant to split a bacon and egg sandwich. I took Joan home by 1:45.

Sunday April 3, 2011

Sunday April 3. I picked Joan up at 10:15 today. We’re going to the Tim Horton’s on boul. St. Joseph in Hull today. And then we’re going to old Chelsea to meet Joyce, Lorna and Sharon. The three of them had a girl’s weekend in Wakefield at a bed and breakfast. So as a surprise to Joan we’re going to meet them and have lunch.


We took the 105 and got off on boul. St. Joseph and the Tim Horton’s was right there. We ordered our tea and a bagel and sat in the parking lot to eat.






Then back onto the 105 and ten minutes later we were in old Chelsea. We met up with Joyce, Lorna and Sharon but since it was very windy we decided to go back to Sharon’s house in Aylmer for lunch.



So we followed them and on Vanier road they turned into Tim Horton’s to by lunch and Joan and I proceeded to Sharon’s place. We all went for a walk first and then went back to Sharon’s for a light lunch of ham and cheese sandwiches.


We sat around in the front yard and had tea and chatted. Around 1:30 we left and I took Joan home.
