Bill, in the words of Forrest Gump..."Stupid is as stupid does". I had seen that Russ Francis was in a small Cessna that had an emergency and failed to safely return to the airfield. The weather here is pushing 80F today with a return to reality on Saturday. Much cooler temps and rain.
Except for the Mommies and their kids Pat, it sounds like you somewhat enjoyed your trip to the gardens. Based on how you describe his shopping and touring of places I'm sure that Bert and I are related. 
I consider that an honour.
I woke, the kind of woke from a sleep not the political kind, about 4:15 too Dave. But I elected to stay in bed for another hour and a bit. When I got up it was super foggy! No school buses meant that the kids either had the day off or the Moms or Dads had to drive them.
After visiting The Navy Yard we decided to do some running around. On my list, like Kathie's was wash and vacuum the Subie. The vacuuming part got done. There were two cars in line at the car wash so that will wait. Worse than rush hour I say!
We did some running about to take care of some chores which had me thinking about Karen's observation. It didn't seem like we'd accomplished anything.
Funny lot we humans.
One of the chores we took care of was picking up some fresh fruit. The strawberries were from a little place in California called Watsonville. That of course had me thinking about Tony and wondering how Nancy, the kids and grandkids were all doing.
We're meeting friends from Toronto for breakfast tomorrow morning in Kingsville. They were in Point Pelee yesterday and last evening enjoying the sunsets and some fine Ontario wine. They're staying in Kingsville tonight.
Well look at that. It's a quarter to wine.
Everyone have a fantastic day.
