Left home at around 6:20 this morning after saying goodby to Jane and Phil. I was early enough to beat the Ottawa traffic and to get to Tim Horton's in Deep River for coffee and a toasted bagel, with peanut butter no less. The weather today was very nice; sunny and warm, bordering on hot towards Coniston. There is very little construction on Hwy 17, only one stop before Mattawa (it's always Mattawa!). Stopped for a hamburger and fries at Larry's Fries in Sturgeon Falls and arrived at my brother Jean-Yves home at 2:00. It's quite something to see how the trees are growing around Coniston when one remembers that it was a barren (lunar looking) landscape when I was child. also, my home town is SMALL; a five minute bike tour is all that's necessary to go over most streets.
The plan for this evening is an early dinner with Jean-Yves and a visit to Candace's house to see the renos they've completed to date. I've spoken to Gilles and he and I will go for a ride tommorow.
