Dinner at The Green Dragon

We enjoyed supper at the Green Dragon.  They had an awesome Cottage Pie made up of Chicken instead of hamburger meat.  Very tasty.  We met up with Patrick (a friend Liz had met through her work) and enjoyed an evening with a live band.  Ed ended up playing a song with the band.  It was a fun night.

Whale Watching, Cheers and Beantown Trolley Tours






Today was a busy day.  We started out the morning going Whale Watching.  At first we thought we were not going to have any success and finally we found a loan Humpback Whale.  We were able to get a few shots.  The whale was diving deep for food and would be goine for almost 10 minutes before he came up again.  After whale watching we had lunch at Cheers.  That was fun.  This was the site that re-enacted the scene of bars but not the actual place.  We went on a Trolley Tour after lunch and there we saw the location of the real Cheers.  We started the day with rain and ended the Trolley Tour with rain.  Our Trolley Tour driver drove us straight to our Hotel which was really nice.  Now we are getting ready for supper.

Off to Boston - June 8th, 2011







We were up at 6:00 and on the road by 6:30.  We crossed the border at Rainbow Bridge with no issues and headed off to the airport.  We were nice and early as everything went smoothly.  The flight was about an hour to get here.  We are staying at the Westin Hotel along the Harbourfront.  Today we decided to get our bearings and check out the area.  It was warm today (in the 90's).  I have blisters on my feet already.  The Boston / Vancouver Stanley cup game was playing (round 4) and Boston won to tie up the series.  We enjoyed an Italian dinner at Trattoria Il Panino.  Tony's company name is Tristar Mechanical and he found a Truck labelled Tristar Worldwide.  The poor driver thought he hit Tony who was only checking out the name on the truck.

Hot Day of Golf at Ladies League

We had an awesome day to golf. The weather was finally hot. Still wet and still cart path only, but are balls actually rolled if we kept them in the fairway. We had a duck that wouldn't move, even though we hit close to it. We also saw a turtle on the first hole. This was not Claudia's favourite 9 to play. Next week we play the west course.

Practising for Timothy Tee-Off


I would like to be Grace's partner in the Timothy Tee-Off if she golfs like she did today.  Rev. Kim, Wilf and Mark also played good games.  Myself (oh well, better days are coming).  The weather turned out gorgeous.  Mark and I had met with the staff of Glen Eagle to make arrangements for the Timothy Tournament.  The rest of the committee met with us at 5:00 and we played 9 holes of golf.  We had a mini meeting after the tournament but ended up having to leave because they wanted to close the place down.  Looking forward to the tournament.

Ladies League Golfing at Cardinal



Brrrrrr.   It's cold today.  Should we go or should we hibernate in our homes today.  The weather was rainy all day today, but 4 of us headed to the Golf Course at Cardinal to play our round of golf.  We golfed 9 holes.  It was hard to golf with so many layers.  Our hands were cold today, but Grace H. was on target with her putts today and everything else compared to the rest of us as well.  Grace H. won longest drive, closest to the pin (even though she was not on the green), low net and least amount of putts.  Grace should golf in the rain more often, as it works for her.  I managed to get 2 points today (nothing to brag about, but at least that is 2 more than those who did not show up).  It was a lot of fun today even though the weather was not on our side.  Thank you Grace H., Grace S. and Arja S. for agreeing to come out.  It was a fun time.  Next week we will do better.  Sorry only got 3 pictures today, showing our better sides.
