CNE

Dennis and I went to the CNE yesterday. It had been a long time for both of us. A funny thing happened as we were coming back from Ontario Place after watching a bit of the airshow. We ran into Carla, Sandy and Kevin, friends from Dundas. The chances of that happening...if we had made arrangements or knew that we would all be there the same day, we would of never found each other in the sea of people. I think that is kind of neat.

I still find the CNE a fun place to visit, but this is the first time I did it buildings in fast forward speed. Let me explain, the crafts and merchandise don't interest Dennis at all so I litterly had to run to keep up to him as he went through each building. If I recall right the only buildings we actually stopped and look for a bit were the food and horse buildings. But the best thing of all was being on top of the Ontario Place building with the jets flying by and doing their stunts in clear view. The roar of the engines send trills through my body. Now I understand my fathers attraction to the planes.

Well one and a half weeks before we head to New York city for the weekend......and Las Vegas is booked for the end of October. I am looking forward to the trips.

Hello, Ivy!!!
It was really neat seeing you and Dennis, too!
I know what you mean about the buildings! Unless you're a shopper, a lot of people just zoom through them!
Usually I miss out on this type of thing, too, with having a little guy around now, but I was lucky that Sandy said for me to take a few hours and go through the buildings. I hadn't been to the CNE since about 1997, and I was really wanting to go. So I got a chance to look at all the wares!
Next year, Ivy, you and I should go and just do a "shopping" trip!
Glad to hear about your upcoming vacations - enjoy them!
Drop by with Dennis anytime!
Carla
