A 10-day snapshot

I've been away from home for 10 or so days, house and pet-sitting for friends in Kitchener.  It was a very different way to spend my days but not an unpleasant one.  I walked an awful lot and found that Kitchener is a very pleasant park-filled greenish city.  My friends have a lovely garden, both front and back of the house, and each is blessed with a place where you can sit in the sun and observe nothing and everything.  I did that a lot.

I also spent a lot of very pleasant time with a cousin I don't often see, and we discovered we have some bad habits and secret obsessions in common.  Family is important.


















I was very lonely in Kitchener when I was alone, which was a fair amount of the time.  This kind of surprised me.  I wanted to see and touch my grandchildren; I wanted to talk with Dave and my kids; I even missed this piece of crap laptop.  Just goes to show you that you never know what you've lost till it's gone.  Luckily, that whole experience was captured in a short frame.

  4. Sounds like a nice little break that still managed to remind you how good life is back home. I might could use one of those!
