Took a break from the computer!

So the first thing tht yo need to know is that my dad has been at home for a couple weeks and he is recovering and gaining strength back quite well.

The next thing you need to know is that it took me 6 days to drive backto North Carolina because we drove across Canada, which is about the same distance but western Ontario is a slower drive - very beautiful, just slower.  We had to stop and stick our toes into the biggest lake, Lake Superior. 

Well, my suggestion was to put our toes in, they decided to throw rocks in!

We also stopped in Toronto, the biggest city in Canada to see the biggest tower. This is all we saw...

The fog was so thick that only the base of the CN Tower was visible.

Then we stopped in Welland to visit some relatives and wished that we could have stayed longer, but we had to keep going.  We stopped briefly at Niagara Falls to see the biggest waterfall in Canada.

Stunning, breathtaking - all of it.  We have to go back!

Ok, so it was a great drive and we got to do a few fun things this time, but as I said it took 6 days to get home.  Meanwhile I was not checking email and once I finally did there were something like 1,546 unread emails. I really didn't want to deal with all that so instead I turned off the computer and read some books for a few days, which turned into a couple weeks and several books!  I am still trying to get caught up, which seems to be the story of my life!  Anyway, I do what I can and hope that you hang in there to see what happens next...

At some point I will go back and post more photos from our trip.
