Wednesday, April 23rd - Back to our usual routine

Our spring like weather is continuing at least for another day. It was fairly mild the past couple of days and today should reach 13' later before it cools off again tomorrow. It's 7' this morning - and it's that time of year when it's not really cold enough to need a fire going  but it's just chilly enough that when you climb out of bed in the morning, you wish you had built one before going to sleep.

James and I were up early yesterday morning (4:00) to put him on the 6:00 am flight. Fortunately there was room and he made it to Toronto just as his mom was flying in from Halifax. It's great when a plan works out.

The house is pretty quiet with him gone. He certainly adds a lot of energy to the place when he's here, and he left with a new book of magic tricks, to drive the rest of his family crazy. It was too bad that there wasn't more things to do this visit, although he did seem to enjoy taking my bicycle out for a run everyday. He especially enjoyed the hill that runs down to the river. Not too many like that in his neighbourhood at home.

Brenda and I had our first dance class in three weeks last night and we didn't forget nearly as many steps as I feared we might. It was a pretty good workout.  Then it was off to Mavor's for their burger love offering:

The M-2
6oz Island Beef Patty, Jalapeno Red Onion Relish, Maple Peppered Bacon, Spinach, and Cows Applewood Smoked Cheddar Cheese Sauce on a Grilled and Buttered Brioche Bun topped with Homemade Worcestershire Potato Chips 

We both agreed that perhaps this is our new favorite. It was really delicious with just the right balance of heat and sweet.Only one more week of sampling before it all comes to an end for another year.
