Back to Ontario

I have been away from the blog for the past week or two.  I flew back to Ontario to pack up the house and attend to the closing of the sale transaction.  This was a huge relief for us as we had thought it might take much longer to sell the property.  Packing up wasn't too bad and I had our friend Kyle to help me and he made several trips to the dump.  Here he is with his truck all loaded up.  He is so proud of that truck.

I took advantage of my time in Ontario to do some shopping and visit with friends.  I also attended a three day workshop on Adventures in Textile Art facilitated by my friend Judith Eckhardt.  Twelve very talented ladies came together at the Wellington County Museum to explore new techniques and make their own fabric which was made into a journal cover or, in my case, a wall hanging. (Pictures to come)

Toronto airport is such a zoo.  Crowds of people rushing here and there.  I found my way to security but I had forgotten to empty my water bottle.  Much to my dismay, I had to go empty it and then pass through security a second time.  I find that taking off always takes a leap of faith on my part that the plane will actually take off and stay in the air.  I could see lots of smog hanging over the city as we climbed higher and higher.
