Saturday, June 25th - enough said about that...

It's been another busy week. 

Our TOPS group had our summer BBQ on Tuesday. Despite the weather being in the low 30's, a good time was had by all. We were in one members back yard and it had lots of shade so it was quite comfortable. Lots of great food, conversation and comraderie.  A great evening all round.

Friday afternoon Patti, Tristen and I headed out to London. We were treated to a delicious supper at Meghan's new place for the first time and she did an amazing job. Everything was really good.

Once we were done there, we headed out to Leamington to stay over night. Saturday morning was a highland games in Kingsville. I'd been there several times but forgot just how far a drive it is, especially when the navigator (me) gives the driver (Patti) wrong information and we end up a fair piece out of the way. We finally reached our destination around 11:30, so it was off to bed pretty much as soon as we got there. 

Attendance was down dratically for these games so they didn't need me to be a Steward. That meant we didn't have to be there bright and early. Tristen wasn't competing till sometime after 10:30 so we could take our time in the morning.

When we arrived I saw a sight I'd totally forgotten about - fish flies, or as they are called in North Bay, Shad flies. They were everywhere. It brought back some memories of trips to Pelee Island and the ferry across from Leamington. Somewhere there's a photo of me with some of the little beggers clinging to my hat. 

Fast forward a couple of decades, and it's the same thing again!

Tristen did well, winning first place in his category. He's really gung ho to be the highest finisher at the end of the season for his age and grade group. 

Because there were't a lot of bands competing, we left shortly after Tristen was finished his solo. He had a BBQ to go to in the afternoon so we headed back. A long way for a short stay but it was a beautiful day for a drive.

After I got home, I did a couple of things around the house and then took the Miata out for a little spin. I headed over to Guelph to pick something up from Patti's that she had located for me. Then it was over to dairy queen for a mini blizzard. I'd pretty much destroyed my day so far, one more thing wasn't going to make that much difference.

Tomorrow is another day.
