I'm slowly catching up after several very busy days. Here's last week's Weekly Gratitude page.
The photo was taken Saturday when we were in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario with our good friends, Karen and Mike. It was our annual spring trip to pick up tickets for the Shaw Festival in October.
We'll be seeing The Ideal Wife by Oscar Wilde this year. Some years we see two plays, but this year there was only one that interested all four of us on the weekend we'll be there.
We had a fabulous lunch at the Irish Harp . . . bangers and champ for three of us while Tracy ordered his favorite, Shepard's Pie.
We always visit our favorite wineries: Strewn for their Semi-dry Reisling, Jackson-Trigg for Shiraz, and Vineland for Baco Noir. Karen took our photo next to the ice wine barrel outside the Jackson-Trigg Winery.
Although it was still quite chilly in the wind, it was warm enough that neither Tracy or Mike wore their jackets most of the day.
We also made a stop in Port Dalhousie to enjoy the beautiful day and the numerous waterfowl in the harbor. There were lots of ducks, gulls, geese, and swans gathered by the walkway where folks were feeding them.
We finished our day at The Pie Plate in Virgil, but I forgot to take a photo. We almost always bring home a pie, (this time it was cherry which I froze for our book group this Friday), but Saturday we all enjoyed dessert and coffee before we headed home. Crossing the border was amazing. The average wait is usually about 20 minutes, but we've waited as long as an hour and a half. Saturday there was NO ONE in front of us, and we breezed right through thanks to one of the friendliest border agents ever.
