Another Canadian Adventure! 12/7/19

This morning Betty and I went to the indoor Farmers Market at Harrison Place.  Neither one of us purchased anything but she was able to get her flamingo earrings repaired by the vendor who made them.  I gave them to her for her birthday.

I put up some Christmas decorations and took a short nap before driving to the DALE for the bus trip to Niagara Falls Canada for the 2019 Festival of Lights.   Marlene and I had to sit in the seats way in the back because everyone else arrived before we did.

A little while into the bus ride, Marlene realized that she did not have her drivers license with her.  She downsized to a smaller purse and eliminate her wallet.  She quickly came up with a plan.   She called her daughter, Christiana, and asked her to find her license and deliver it to her in Niagara Falls, New York.   I offered to go with her.  The bus driver agreed to let us off at the Seneca Casino and Carla (the leader of the group) agreed that we could meet up with the group at BOSTON PIZZA in Niagara Falls, Canada.

After being dropped off at the casino, we walked to the WYNDHAM GARDENS HOTEL, the place where Christie agreed to meet us.  There was a nice restaurant there, where I had a meal, since we were missing the meal at Boston Pizza.  Marlene had been to a luncheon before meeting up with us at the Dale, so she did not order anything.  My meal was great!

We walked across  the Rainbow Bridge which I found to be great fun.  I took some pictures. 
                         This one is my favorite!





and up Clifton Hill


and found Boston Pizza.
  Our group was finishing up their meal.

                                            Geneva and Carla (mother and daughter)
Then we all boarded the bus.  Taking pictures from the bus is not as easy as it is when you are in your own car.  We stopped once and I was able to take this one. 
It was a great evening!   I am glad that I experienced another FIRST...…….walking across the Rainbow Bridge.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

Week of Sunday, August 10th through Saturday, August 16th, 2025 (Recipe for Crazy Crust Pie)

 SUNDAY:   I took my trash out early today and it was SO HOT, that I felt that my breath had been sucked out of me.  I messaged Jan about it, since her asthma really bothers her in hot weather and I knew that she might be better off staying home from church.  Church was very good, the Eastmans performed and spoke.  After church, Glenda, Andrea, Marlene and I went to THE OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner, which was very good even though they did not serve my gravy on the side like I requested.  I brought a lot of turkey and also my whole gen salad home.  Andrea told us the story about how she and two of her kids along with other people in a church she attended in Ohio went down to New Orleans to help out after Hurricane Katrina.  When I got home, I watched part of the four part documentary about  it.  HURRICANE KATRINA:  Race Against Time.  Crazy Crust Pie 1 C. flour 1/4 C. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 t...

Wednesday, August 19, 2020

In the morning, I called an antique dealer and asked if he would be interested in looking at the furniture in Mary Anne's cottage.  It looks to me as if several pieces are antiques.  He is interested, and we will get together soon.   On the way  to Olcott, I stopped at a donation box and dropped off three or four bags of clothing.  Once I got to her cottage, I tackled the kitchen.  Betty did not do a good job of straightening out under the sink yesterday so I took everything out and started again.  I was able to finish the entire kitchen, but the floor still needs scrubbing.  I will need water to do that.  Today, I took my own water. I stopped at Reid's and picked up a burger and fries.  I took a nap in the afternoon, and when I got up, I reorganized most of my spices. I went to the Royalton Center United Methodist Church for their take out spaghetti supper  (first I went to Mary Anne's house to put the trash bins away, but som...
