More travels

Hi all


Ian and I are back from our travels in Ontario. It was lovely and warm at first but then the weather cooled and dumped snow on the poor tulips and blossoms. Hopefully this is not going to effect the fruit season in Ontario to badly. It was amazingly green and the tulips were up the leaves were sprouting ah spring!

We had a wonderful yoga experience with Naime at http://www.mykulaburlington.ca/ We worked on therapeutics and learned a lot. The mykula Burlington space is so beautiful as well it is a wonderful place to hang out.

We had planned to stay with Diana’s parent Terry and Dave but just before we left Dad called to say Mom had fallen and cracked her skull. Thank goodness we were on our way down and she was safely in IC at the Welland Hospital. It has all turned out ok she is feeling fine now with no lasting effect but we stayed with Rob and Gai Lawson rather than put any stress on Mom for the weekend. Rob and Gai are such gracious hosts their place is starting to feel like home away from home. Thanks so much again Rob and Gai.



We were able to share a lovely dinner with Mom, Dad, Ellen, Rick, Dorothy (Rick mother) and his nephew Chis and partner in Port Colbourne. Diana got the call she is short listed to go to Antarctica during dinner!! Ya hoo fingers crossed.

Then off to Pembroke to do some house hunting.


Jeff and Patricia Oliver and Quincey were our gracious hosts in Pembroke. James Gen was busily showing us properties – we were able to narrow it down relatively quickly and made one offer which as we suspected did not go through. So we made plans to stay an extra week but only after we drove back down to Toronto for a weekend immersed in Tantric Philosophy with Christopher Wallis (Hareesh) at mykula Toronto. Amazing!



We had a visit with Mom and Dad and Michael as well. Mom is doing much better! Michael is still recovering from his broken leg. The accident happened in November and after battling infections with antibiotic a couple reopening of the wound and cleaning and using a pump to flush it looks like maybe the infection is under control and we can hope the bone starts to mend. It is tough on him as well can be expected help us all send positive energy his way.

House hunting again in Pembroke we stayed at Jeff and Trish’s again our other home away from home. We saw some more houses and made another offer on a house – it is a lovely ‘50’s brick bungalow. We both really like it fingers crossed.

The drives to and from Ontario went fine we managed to get some stuff to Ontario so the next load may fit in the car and there will be less mailing of boxes.

 We drove back on Friday had a great visit with Ian and Judy in Harvey on route! Also got to see Darrel and Sue and Kaeli. Smitty and Judy have a very cute new puppy!! Spring in Canada is Wonderful!! seeing it with new eyes after our time away I have a new appreciation for the luxury of water we have in Canada! Lets all do are part to conserve and preserve what we have
