Weeeeeeeee’re Back!!!
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.
R&R (Relatives and Reminisces)Trip
Got luggage out of closet and preparing for October tour of Ontario and Pennsylvania. Catching a direct flight to Toronto where we’re borrowing a car from brother Lou for the eight-hour drive to Reading, Pa., to spend a week with Bev’s folks. Then it’s back to Toronto to hang around with Lou and Jean. We’ll be there for her birthday Oct. 23. Also on tap is a K-W Record alumni dinner in Kitchener, which is about a 45-minute drive from Louis’ home overlooking Lake Ontario from a few blocks west of the Canadian National Exhibition grounds Dufferin Gate . We’re also looking forward to visits with old friends — Fernando and Colleen Cicci, Joe and Edith Brown, Lorna (Cadieux) Kelly, to mention a few — as well as plenty of card playing and that comfortable season known as Indian summer that arrives before the cold, grey, drizzly, windy winter sets in.
