Canadian Thanksgiving

This past weekend was a treat. It was a treat to get away for one thing. We went down to our little cottage in Prince Edward County. The County is a rather large island that sits in the eastern end of Lake Ontario. It's a place of vineyards, farms, coastlines and beautiful scenery. The type of place that after spending 2.5 hours on the road from Toronto you stop the car, turn off the engine, and all you can hear are birds. It's also rather isolated. Treat #2: no internet or even phone. Well, we have the cell phones but service is sporadic to say the least. We're "doing up" the place and I spent a fair amount of time sanding and plastering the third bedroom. We are trying to make the place cosy and serviceable enough that we can rent it out. This time out though, the place became family-oriented as family visited and Ms Lugs cooked a fine Thanksgiving dinner that left us all holding our bellies. That was treat #3. Came back to Toronto on Monday to spend much of the remaining day setting up the new imac I bought for home. That monitor is much bigger than I thought it was in the store. Another treat. Unfortunately I couldn't get the old mac to properly hook up to the new machine so all the settings and user information had to be transfered manually, and let me tell you, that was and still is, no treat.
