Ottawa--like coming home January 16 to February 1, 2015

Arrived her by train on January 16. Travelling by train is always a delight.   Our home base is in the Glebe.  This is our chance to get to know another area of the city.  We had an excellent skate on the canal on Sunday but no beaver tail as the line was very long.

Monday was the day to have lunch with three mates who have political leanings.  The restaurant was on Beachwood so I decided to take the bus.  Unfortunately, I got the times mixed up and found myself near the Rideau Centre an hour too early so I stopped to poke around.  I was standing by Shoppers and lo and behold, there was my neighbour from Watergate walking through on her way home.  We had coffee and chatted.  Now what are the chances that we would be in the same place at the same time without planning.  I was delighted.  Lunch was fun including the Sticky Toffee Pudding.  I walked back to the Glebe.  All this walking is good for my health.

The Glebe is an interesting area.  We walked lots, visited Stella Luna, Truffle Treasures for hot chocolate, shopped and had a lovely apple crumble at Fleena's.  We had lots of company.
We need to make some decisions about 2015.  What will we do?

Friends from Burlington arrived on the last weekend.  We, three, skated on the canal while the Princess Brenda sat in the ice sleigh.  What fun.  We had beaver tails.

On January 24, 2015, Brienne Victoria McLaughlin Klein entered the world.  She resembles her momma at birth.  What a joy!

We are off to Oak Island to meet her.  (February 1 2015.)  Yay.
