Visiting the Big City

Another Wednesday, another good day. Katie stayed here for two extra holiday days after the Aug. long weekend. Swimming, reading, spending some time with Mom and Cousin Nancy yesterday...and then it was time for Katie to go back to Toronto for work on Thursday. Brian drove us in and read on the couch (Mom's old pull-out) while KT and I did some dishes and a little clean. We locked Brian in the apartment and walked/taxied to the new AMC theatre in Dundas Square, at the North end of the Eaton's Centre. We saw the Mama Mia movie, which was quite lovely - full of fun, walked through Eaton's Centre (Cousin Lauren sighting at BG..(clothing store where she works), although we didn't stop to visit, took a TTC streetcar back to Niagara Street and then went back to the apt. at 800 Richmond. After we collected the men, we went to St. Louis Ribs and Wings and had...well, some of us did. Katie had a chicken wrap and I had a Cobb salad. We walked back to the Green P where our Volvo was parked and KT and Greg walked back up to the apt. The trip home was painless - mostly 'cause I slept through at least half of it, and now I'm back in the country.
