May long weekend

This year my birthday fell on Victoria Day of the May long weekend, so we decided to go visit Steve & Amy at their cottage. The four hour drive wasn't quite as hard on me as it was when we did it in March, so I am getting stronger. It wasn't warm enough to sit outside but they have a nice sunporch where we could sit and watch the river.

The cottage is outfitted with a vintage record player and a set of old vinyl records, and we brought some more from our friend Doug to add to the collection, so we spent the weekend enjoying listening to vintage music. There was a mix of 33's, 45's and 78's. Barry was hopping up and down all weekend changing records.

Carol & Brian drove all the way from Pakenham to have lunch with us and visit on Sunday afternoon. We hadn't seen them since last summer so it was good to visit.

We left early Monday afternoon to beat the traffic, and had dinner in a Kelsey's in Mississauga. This was my first outing to a restaurant in many months. Here's a photo of my (free) dessert and the sparkler lighting it up. Our server even gave me a personalized birthday card!
