- DH went to the chiropractor while I watched the fence company finish off the fence (love our new gates with lattice!)
- we went by an antique shop in town to see if it was open because we'd seen a beautiful model sailboat in the window. Despite being 10 minutes past the opening time, it was closed. Small town hours!
- we went out for breakfast - I had a huge plate of warmed brie with maple syrup and nuts, with a pile of fruit and a latte... yum!
- we drove down to one of my galleries in Toronto to drop off some paintings
- we drove out to the Orfus Road shopping district and looked through half a dozen lighting stores before finally picking out some new lights for the front of the house to replace the faded cheap ones the builder put in
- we considered going to Yorkdale mall, but the parking lot was a madhouse so we left (note to Yorkdale - we were in a spending mood, your loss!)
- we drove back to our neck of the woods, stopping at a farmers' market and buying some freshly picked raspberries
- we returned to the antique shop, which was finally open, and bought the boat! Love it.
- we came home and I made a raspberry cheesecake with raspberry coulis, while DH installed the new lights on the house. Love the new lights! (and of course, love cheesecake! YUM)
