It's been a little while since I posted but there've been some good reasons. First there was preparing for a bus trip to Toronto - doing laundry, deciding what to pack, packing, getting the cat supplies set out. That was Thursday.
Friday was the day of travel to Toronto by bus. It was pleasantly less boring than I had anticipated and less uncomfortable too. It was a nice change to be with people. Lots of people.
Saturday was the wedding of my niece, Kerry to Pete. It was great to be able to witness the ceremony and celebrate with them. Got to see my brother, sister, brother-in-law and nephew as well - people I hadn't seen in quite a while. I think I managed to catch some good photos which I'll post when they've been developed. I'm hoping the ones of the first dance with their son, Tyler held in his father's arm turned out. And you'll enjoy the cake decorations when you see them, too.
Sunday was a bit of visiting with my daughter and then a little shopping expedition with she and my daughter-in-law and then a mad dash to catch the bus back to Ottawa. Lucked out in the bus department: we left early, arrived about 40 minutes ahead of schedule and watched two movies to pass the time.
Being the mother of an open source software guru, I have also just downloaded the latest Firefox release (1.0PR) after being urged to do so by said son. Haven't done much but post this little bit of trivia, but I have these two observations to make regarding the installation:
1) Hurray for asking where I wanted my bookmarks, etc imported from this time around! (Last time it just presumed and used the outdated IE bookmarks - bummer...)
2) I didn't really need a second shortcut to Firefox added to my desktop, thanks.
Gotta run to an evening doctor's appointment. But before I go, I want to welcome my friends Larissa and Chris back from their sojourn in Russia. (I am presuming they are back safe and sound, until I hear differently.) I was thinking about you and hoping you were far from the problems we were hearing about on the news.
