Sharon’s birthday is on Thursday June 29th so we’re having lunch at her place today. It’s just going to be us siblings (including Marian, who always comes).


I picked Joan up at around 10:45 and by the time I got Joan and her stuff into the car and put the chair in the trunk it was 11:00 before we got on the road. We arrived at Sharon’s around 11:30 and Joyce, Lorna and Sharon were already there. Joyce put the chair together for me. Then we went for a walk over to Barry’s and Marian’s new house. Barry and I brought Joan into the house (they have a lot of small steps in the new house). We all left Barry’s and Marian’s and headed back to Sharon’s. At around 12:30 we sat down for lunch. Sharon had made a ham, Barry a green salad and I made a potatoe salad. I also made a cake for desert, but as we were eating it Lorna and I and Joyce said that the cake wasn’t completely cooked.

Joan and I left around 2.45 and got home around 3:15. I came straight home.

I picked Joan up at 10:15 this morning. When I got there she was with the nurse getting her pills. Since its Father’s Day we are going to the grave yard (Notre Dame). We went to the Tim Horton’s on Donald Street in Vanier and order our usual tea and bagel. We then headed to the grave yard where we ate our snack.

The shrub at the grave site is still doing well but the hosta I planted last year didn’t survive. There were at lot of grassy looking weeds so I pulled them. We weren’t in a hurry and we had nobody to visit so instead of taking the Queensway to get back to the west end we drove up Rideau Street and onto Scott Street to go to Donna’s Express Restaurant to split a bacon sandwich.

I took Joan home around 12:35.

I picked Joan up at 10:30 this morning. According to my records we haven’t visited the Tim Horton’s at 2100 Hunt Club Road (well at least we don’t have a picture of it), so that’s where were headed.


When we finally found it we realised that we had visited it and it was an “On the Run”. So we pulled in a and took a picture and went to the Tim Horton’s up the street. The “on the Runs” don’t always have full service.




We got to the other Tim Horton’s and ordered our tea and a bagel and stayed in the parking lot to eat our snack. After that we went up the street to check a new housing construction site. Then we got back on hunt club and headed to Kanata. At around Cederview Road we pulled over and ordered a pizza from the Colonnade, and then continued on through Bell’s Corners. We arrived at the Colonnade around 12:30 and ate the pizza in the parking lot.

Took Joan home around 1:00

I picked Joan up at 10:30 this morning. We’re going to the Tim Horton’s on the lower Aylmer road. We got there about 11:00. We’ve been to this Tim Horton’s before, but we’re going again because after visiting the Tim Horton’s we’re going to visit Sharon and show Joan, Barry’s and Marian’s new house.

We drove to Barry’s new house but no one was there so we went to Sharon’s place. We sat in the car and chatted and then shortly Marian arrived. She said she was on her way over to the new place. So Sharon got in her car and Joan and I followed. Barry came over to the car to talk with Joan and I went in to see how the paint job was. I was over on Thursday this week and Barry and I painted the living room, one wall in the dinning room and the hallways. It turned out nicely, Barry and Rian did second coats on Friday and Saturday.

Around 11:30 Joan and I left and we went to Donna’s express for to split bacon and fried egg sandwich. I took Joan home at 1:00.
