Wedding preparations

I wake early again as Geraldine has work and the sunrises here are stunning and you really feel like your getting the most of a day. After dropping Geraldine to work I have the task of acquiring items for the wedding gift boxes. Daryl has things to do so I head to dollarama to see what I can find. It's very similar to Poundland In the UK and they literally have everything on my list. My plan was to walk back along the trail but the weight of 70 X all the bits for gift boxes has mounted up and I take the direct route home to drop the weight. Later in the morning I set up on the front porch to start putting 1 of each item in the gift bags and it's the first time I have stopped for days. Daryl is getting messages off work colleagues about me being camped out in the sunshine. The neighborhood is so friendly and I would say 90 percent of people say good morning as they pass. Is a very relaxing way of life compared to Toronto. I walk over to the harbour to watch the boats out in the harbour, then it's back to packing bags. Everything here is big the SUVs the trailers and the fuel bill but I guess it comes in useful In the winter. Later in the afternoon Herson comes over to help prepare things then Carla and her family turn up, all bearing gifts of food. I am so glad of the extra hands even if it is to double count everything. Once everyone has gone we light a fire and sit chatting before retiring to bed.Read more
