Milder again last night more windows open and at 5am 52F (11C) this is wonderful. Not a great sunrise but by 7 am the sun was shining and warming up very nicely. I got a short walkabout around the block then took a wonderful country drive just enjoying the peaceful back roads.

Puttering around for a while outside it was actually a very warm sunny day 67F (19C), then at 11:30 we heading east on HWY 401 and North of Toronto ON HWY 400, about a 90 minute drive. When we left Plattsville. For another visitation (Celebration Of Life) for the mother of a lifelong friend of mine Jim Kelly. We went to public and high school together, worked on cars and motorcycles, chased girls in our teenage years So many memories we made together, his mother baking us cookies what a wonderful lady she was played games at their house etc. I am also the God Father to his son Adam. We still manage to keep in touch with him over the years on occasions not nearly enough though. We will have to try more often than weddings and funerals. Though Jim did come for a visit to see us last summer

We left the Celebration of life just after 3 pm, nice to see Jim and his family there again it has been so long also a few other people from probably 40/50 years ago wow, has it been that long? We just chatted, snacked and enjoyed a celebration of her life. All the pictures and I remember so many of them as well.
From there we headed to The Galt Arena for 5:30 to watch Grandson # 4 play another game in his hockey tryouts for major AA peewee teams. Always good hockey at this level.
We got there 5 minutes late just missing him score the first goal of the game, darn.

That was our day getting things taken care of. 4 hours of driving , visitations, family time and a hockey game. Home by 7:30 still 64F, we enjoyed this beautiful weather outside. Post this blog and read for a while. loving this weather.
Oh and because of this wonderful spring day I managed to catch a beautiful sunset. at 8:05 pm just drove down the road about 1/4 of a mile and there it was.

A perfect ending to a day full of mixed feelings. from the sadness of the passing of Jim;'s Mom to the happiness of spending some time with family, the grands and a hockey game.
Thanks for dropping by to our lifestyle that we love. And hope y'all had a wonderful spring day wherever you may be.
