The biggest event was last Thursday which was "Tooth Day." Jo-Anne had a root canal and Buster had a broken tooth extracted. Jo-Anne's bill was about $900 and ol Buster was about $1,100 ... Friday morning I looked under both pillows to see if the Tooth Fairy had left a couple of grand ... but alas ... so much for fairies.
Because we needed to have Jo-Anne over in Barrie for Thursday we decided to spend Wednesday and Thursday nights there in a motel and elected the Monte Carlo Inn as before ... you've already seen enough of me naked in tubs for now so no more pictures. And because we were to be over there for two nights we decided to combine that trip with Jo's dad to spend another couple of nights in another retirement residence. This time we dropped him off at the Waterford residence home in Barrie and he had a really nice orientation and visit for the two days. Now he has a couple of choices to look at and decide the pros and cons of each. In the interim, the house went on the block and we had the first showing on Saturday, so we are crossing our fingers that the process won't be too drawn out.
In keeping with our pub crawl through Barrie we found a new place as good as the Bull and Barrel we talked about previously. This one is Jack Astors Bar and Grill ... if you say the name kinda slow you will see why he has a donkey as the bar logo. I guess it is a chain ... but it was still outstanding. Jo-Anne had a bowtie pasta that was, "to die for" and I had a humongous (sp) burger which was fresh and excellent; both washed down with some draft Stella Artois.
And lastly here is another really neat shot of the grandkid Ev doing what he does best and that is being a happy little spoiled kid. I wonder if he is anticipating that next bite of creamed spinach, eh ... probably not!
