Library book sale

We struck gold when we browsed the book sale tables at the library one morning this week.  We placed our stack of books, many of them chosen for the August visit of the Hudson girls, on the patio table, and settled in for some good reads.  It was so nice and we were so comfortable that we brought a tray out for an alfresco lunch and read.  Poppa Martin is reading "The Wind in the Willows."

A Lofty Experience

Soaring the heights in an open cockpit airplane was my first lofty experience last weekend.  We drove out to the boonies to meet up with old friends that we hadn't seen in about ten years.  Brian and Hope had flown their Pietenpol (Similar to Mart's last plane) to a fly in with about a dozen other small planes on a friends farm.  I took this photo on takeoff.  That's Mart, right, waving.

My second lofty experience was of a spiritual nature.  After spending the night at a historic B&B in Dundas, we went to morning Mass at Christ the King Cathedral in Hamilton.  Being surrounded by sacred art, sacred music, and partaking of Holy Communion, is quite an uplifting experience.
