Expected later: Sunshine and -2'
Well, Monday turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, in spite of the fact we couldn't get out. Lloyd spent the better part of the day blowing the snow in the lane and the yard and the plow finally came by shortly after 5:00. Nothing was changed on Tuesday morning so that was a good thing.Brenda finally arrived home on Monday as well. She was gone a little longer than anticipated but she tells me she was well taken care of by the staff at Air Canada. She had a nice hotel room, supper and breakfast and a good nights sleep before returning to the island by bus on Monday afternoon. It was made even less stressful for her by virtue of the fact that school was cancelled both Monday and Tuesday. It may not seem so bad in town, but on roads like ours, there is no way a bus could get through, and from what I heard on the radio yesterday morning, there are still some side roads that haven't been cleared yet. So I suppose we're lucky to get out as soon as we did.
I've received Meghan's review of her experience at O Noir. Check it out:
O noir restaurant review by Meghan Dennison - age 12
SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
When we got to the restaurant you had to order before you went into the complete darkness. Me and the mom that took me and my friends ordered the surprise dish. After we ordered the waitress took us into the dinning room.
All the waiters and waitresses are all blind and have memorized the whole restaurant like the back of there hand. We had to put our hands on each other's shoulders and enter the room. You would think there was like a window or a small light or something but it was totally dark. The actual restaurant was underground and you had to turn off your phones before you went in.
We got our food and it was delicious. I got a steak and couscous. It was SOOO amazing. Maybe even better than the keg! After that we ate our dessert. We all had chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. The cake was delicious as well as the ice cream. After we ate our whole dinner we went out of the complete darkness to pay in the same room we went into to order.
The lights were all dimmed and your eyes kind of hurt after being in the dark so long. After waiting a few minutes we left the restaurant and carried on.
Over all the while dinner and experience was an A+. I would definitely go back and if you're ever in the area I strongly recommend it. :)

The menu looks amazing.
(By the way, the kitchen is lit and the cooks are NOT blind!)
