My sister Carol and her granddaughter Sarah drove up from Texas to visit my mom for not quite a week. Unfortunately the timing wasn't the best as they arrived when we getting ready for the floors to be done and are leaving mid afternoon tomorrow (Friday). I had hoped to get away for a day and drive to Burlington for a visit but the floor disaster prevented my hope of sneaking away for the day. Instead we arranged to meet for dinner in Elora, the half way point between Burlington and Walkerton. We met at the Gorge Country Kitchen where we enjoyed dinner on the patio. As it was sunny, Zaph couldn't stay in the car so he joined us on the patio and enjoyed his dinner there as well. After dinner we drove over to a park on the river and went for a nice stroll.

The Grand River from a bridge. A couple of girls jumped from the bridge into the river while we were there --- don't think I would jump into the dark murky water.

This chocolate lab loves to swim. Her stick is thrown from the bridge and she runs down the hill and into the water to fetch the stick. Swims to shore and runs up the hill and onto the bridge to her dad. Where the process is repeated. Today, Sarah got to throw the stick a few times.
