Our Location:
Olympia Village Rv Park, Waterdown, Ontario
Another nice night temperature wise, no heat needed. A bit of rain throughout the night and into the morning hours but nothing overly hard. Plans this morning had us letting the Big Dog run into downtown Hamilton to a location on Locke Street called the Beasley House Bistro. Parking is always difficult downtown and while looking for a spot we stopped to ask a nice fella if he could tell us where we could find some public parking. To our great delight and surprise he told us to use his spot at the apartment building as he was in the process of vacating his apartment. Free to use for the rest of the day. We parked after thanking him, making note of our location and headed off on foot to meet Courtney.

I will admit not a single photo was taken, we were too busy hugging and chatting the entire time. She was easy to spot coming down the sidewalk in her bright yellow jeans, purple and gold boots and carrying a bright yellow handbag. She is a very bubbly person, with a quick smile and a warm welcoming way. Lunch was wonderful but the company was the best. Courtney is an online tutor with a full schedule, she offers English and French in all subjects, her students range from the early grades all the way to helping students prepare for college. She is passionate about it and gets excited when a student has a “lightbulb” moment. Hugs and kisses goodbye, Riley and I headed back to the Dogsled, while Courtney headed off to catch the Go Bus for the 50 min ride back to the heart of Toronto and her home. Riley and I were home within 30 minutes, a short walk around the park and we are finished for the day.

Your weather is a lot nicer than ours at the moment. Enjoy it while you can, as I think this front is headed your way!
ReplyDeleteKeep it please! I insist! I know you like that kind of weather with nip to the air and cold to the near bone. Really, you can keep it, we don’t mind a bit.

Sounds like a lovely visit with Courtney.
ReplyDeleteYour weather sounds great for October, enjoy.
It was a wonderful visit with Courtney, we managed to catch up and make a few tentative plans for our return in the spring. So far the weather is good and other than a couple of colder ones I think we will be lucky and make it into the south before it gets too bad.

Sounds like a wonderful visit with your Courtney. What luck to ask someone about parking and be offered a spot for free. Hope your weather holds for the rest of your time there. Looking at yesterday's pictures that does look like one tight park.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful visit, short but good. It was amazing luck to have the spot offered to us. We did appreciate it very much. The park is tight but only one of three open in the general area. It’s good for a necessary stop.

ReplyDeleteIt does make one’s day!

Courtney's outfit was very interesting. Jerry has a sister that dressed like that. But now she's getting close to 80 so she's toned it down. That was awesome to find a nice person to help you with parking.
ReplyDeleteCourtney is an exuberant person and she loves the bright colours. Her dark hair and eyes played well with the bright sunshine like yellow. It was extremely nice of the fella to give use of his spot.
