What an absolutely gorgeous spring day we had today! Sunny, 21 degrees C, light breeze... perfect timing to take a day off work! It's also the hubby's birthday today so.... he dropped the kid off to daycare/school, and we jumped into the truck and took a tour.
Headed toward Peterborough to pick up our pellet stove - which in and of itself is a story and a half, however we finally got it! Yay! The dudes (and dudettes) at Friendly Fires are AWESOME! http://www.friendlyfires.ca/html/ I finally got my Harman 25 year anniversary pellet stove and I can't wait to have it installed and have one of our Ontario winters - um, wait a minute... actually, I CAN wait, we just finished winter didn't we!
Anyway, since we were up there, kid-less for the day, we drove up to Curve Lake and one of the First Nation's reserves. A whole lot of barns, cows, fields, and a little bit of crazy currents and, of course, the Peterborough locks. http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/on/trentsevern/visit/lock21_e.asp
And a drive through downtown Peterborough and the colleges as well. All in all, a really relaxing, out of the rat-race, long overdue, day.
P.S. After preparing for hubby's birthday and getting his gifts early, what do I do? I forget them at work!! Then after asking some colleagues to bring it home with them as we were seeing them last night, what do I do? I forget the bloody things in THEIR HOUSE!!! What a total twit I am!! Oh well, he'll have to wait until Monday to get the gifts now.
