Mature Life Features

I’m already packed and making plans for my lunch for the 4 1/2 hour Air Canada flight to Toronto next Tuesday. We’re going to drive from there to Reading, Pennsylvania,  to spend a week with Bev’s relatives and then back to Toronto to hang around with my brother Louis and his wife Jean for a couple of weeks. On schedule is an alumni gathering of the K-W Record crew, where I worked in Kitchener — about 45 minutes west of Toronto — for about 5 years in the late ’50s, early ”60s before moving on to the Windsor Star.

On the day we leave, workers will begin to tear out our existing floor covering and install new laminated wood flooring and  carpeting some areas. Dave, our neighbor, who renovates and remodels homes, is honchoing the project.  To make life easier for the workers, and to protect some of our goodies, I’ve boxed  my books and shelf things along with antiques and heirlooms and stashed them in my garage office.

Will try to keep y’all up-to-date along the way.
