A whirlwind of activity had swept through this week. Between work, work, more work, the kids and other activities, it has been a hectic week. Thursday, instead of our normal posting, it saw us packed in the truck and moving across the region for some time out of the house incorporated into some work appointments.
The kids brought along some school work to do on the move. I brought some Halloween candy in my pockets to fill the time while we were in the truck waiting for work appointment(s) to complete. It was a nice sunny Fall day out. So it was definitely worth taking advantage of. We found ourselves in an area that should be familiar but it wasn’t because of all the newer houses and neighbourhoods that was built over the last decade or so. I’m still trying to process how things had changed in the area as I had not been that way in so long.
Our next appointment brought us back to our little city. Then off for a little fun in the next town over via “our scenic” route. We saw a new cell tower being put up and it reminded us of a prop from a very popular movie some years ago. It was massive. We detoured off the road into a quarry entrance to find heavy equipment maneuvering and golf greens further down in the quarry. It wasn’t a complete course. Just a few holes on greens. We will go back to explore properly on foot later on.
We popped back up and out to the road and continued on our drive just looking out the windows to spot anything new or different to explore. The only thing we noted before stopping for lunch was that a vineyard had netted some of their grapes for late harvest or ice wine.
We stopped into old town Niagara on the Lake for a quick bite to eat and drink and then we took our goodies to a spot where we could park and look out onto the lake. We didn’t stay long. We didn’t say much. We just tried to figure out how to use an app on our phones and ate our lunch.
Then back up the escarpment to another quick appointment and finally home. It was hard for the kids to do their school work this day because they were more interested in what was going on in the environment. Movement these days are limited so even in our small outings, everything draws their eyes.
So Friday and Saturday came and went fast and filled with a combination of work, the kids’ schooling and house work. Lo and behold, the Sunday edition. Other than that, I am yawning in the afternoon typing this and am ready for a nap… that’s not going to happen. Back to laundry I go. I hope your Sunday is a bit more adventurous than mine today.
