Ontario Happenings

We've been in Burlington, Ontario since Wednesday. I went to Grade 13 here and was married when our family lived here, so it's lots like coming home, even though we've been gone from here for many years. Doug's family lives here and in the area still. We'll be enjoying lunch with them all tomorrow before we fly home. Here's the house we lived in when I was married and here's my high school - Grade 13.

Doug was in DS meetings from Wednesday evening until yesterday. The other DS wives joined everyone yesterday. I spent the day yesterday with 2 of my District Directors and today all the DS's and most of the wives travelled to Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake and then up to Milton where Central's DS - Ron Bonar - lives for supper and the evening. It was a day well spent, since we told lots of stories, laughed lots and got to know each other better - the women at least. Of course, the men all know each other well. Lise Pearson - from Quebec - did not join us as they're still settling their children into life in Montreal. Jennifer Bonar didn't join us until we returned to their lovely home tonight.

We rode the Funicular up the escarpment from the Falls to have lunch in the Keg in the huge Embassy Hotel - it had a spectacular view of the Niagara River and Falls.

Niagara on the Lake was as beautiful as ever, but I didn't take pictures. We stopped for coffee and peach pie on main street.
