THE FOLLOWING MORNING WE HAD COFFEE AND WENT OVER THE PREVIOUS DAY AND WHAT MALL WE WERE GOING TO HIT NEXT.
OUR PLANS LAID OUT WE SET ABOUT GETTING DRESSED AND OFF TO A HEARTY BREAKFAST yum!
Into the truck , turn on the Gps and away we went , the first place we hit was the outlet Mall hovever it did not open till 11 am so out the Mall parking lot across the way to the Croc Shop Cabin.......its a log cabin with every conceivable type of croc and accessory to go with them, from teeny to gigantic.
Jamie got a couple of pairs for her grandchildren.
Then back to the Outlet, I recall going to this Mall with my husband , had no idea there were shops within.Thought it was just the outer stores.
In thru the doors and down a cavernous hall shops to left shops to the right and as far as the eye could see without squinting.
We went down into a department type store , the two shopinistas knew excatly were to go , I thought I'd rest up for a bit.
Sitting by the fountain I spoke to many people from Toronto Burlington and Mississaugia.
The girls came out and off went the three, headed for the food court then split and
planned to meet in the same area of the food court.
After a few hours and some shopping made my way to the food court after half hour saw Jamie , it was about anaother 3/4 oaf an hour, so I WANDERED OFF HOPING TO RUN INTO PEG IN THE NEARBY VICITY, DIDN'T, SO I HEADED TO THE ENTRANCE AREA WE CAME IN , THEN SURE ENOUGH THERE SHE CAME.
We entered a large ladies store , then made our way to the outer stores Peg and I , it was getting hotter and hotter in each store.
Had to take a break out in the cool night air.[me]
After some time we went looking for Jamie and found her at the correct entrance , found the truck and in we piled , bone weary tired and starved yet again.
JAMIE HAD YET TO ENDURE THE RUNNING OFF THE BRIGDE AT NIGHT, WHICH SHE DID WHITE KNUOCKLED BUT SECURE IN THE KNOWEDGE SHE COULD DO IT,.
After a false start we found our way back to our lodgings at the Red Coach Inn,
We gathered our bags and trotted up to our suite.
Bob the secret neighbour had not as of yet made any attemppt to be neighbourly.We did not offer any wine to him.
More wine for us and it was poured after unleashing our bounty in assorted rooms and closets and kitchen area.
We decided that we were too pooped to climb down three flight down agian, so Peg was gracious and orfered up room service, while we waited we listened to some Jazz and Later Peg noticed fire works going off on the Canadian side of the falls it was a wonderful and happy surprise at the end of a very busy day.
Dinner was Hamburger and fries and spiach salad with brie cheese chunks it was all good although some of the burger was not as well done as I like .
Afterwards we sat and chat and then finally went off to bed.
Peg thought it agood idea to put the food trays out side in the hall so that we would not awake to last night dinner, good idea Peg.
The next morning was sunshine and coffee again , we organized our gear and bags of shopping , made our way down to breakfast, first we walked to the parking lot with half our stuff, placed it in the back off the truck and went back to the hotel for our breakfst.Little did we know that a thief had his way with Jamie's car in the middle of the night and had made off with Peg's GPS.
It was a good thing we ate before the second lot of shopping came down , when Jamie and I went to the truck with our loads , we opened the trunk , what I had left I was putting in the back seat with me, upon opening the back door I noticed greeny blue crystal on the seat and then larger chunks on the floor, I said to Jamie it looks as if the window is broken, there is broken glass back here.
Jamie made her way to the drivers side and O.M>G> she exclaimed they've broken my window , shit said I and then looked inside the passanger side to see that the glove compartment was open and empty along with a missing GPs.
I went over to Jamie as she seemed to be draining of all blood from her face and told her to go into the Inn and tell them what happened and to call the police.
After about 1/2 hour Peg came out to speak to me about what was going on with situation inside, I had stayed with the truck as our stuff was in it.
One of the workers of the hotel offered to vacum the broken glass out for us while I was there,She was beside herself over this but as Peg said , we were not hurt nor was had happened could not be fixed, and true enough it was inconvient but things did get fixed quite quiclky when you think about it { window by mobile window replacement truck.}
After that and taking all our stuff back up to the room while waiting , we just were not up for shopping.
After all was said and done we learned that SHIT HAPPENS you cannot control what people do to you, but you can control how you react to it,
We managed a late lunch thanks to Peg again, then made our way via the scenic tour to the border with a few laughs....American's apparently in the rual area 's don't beleive in MIni marts or gas stations. We opted for 427 as it would be faster than the 401 cause it was rush hour time, Got back to Ajax our first drop off , were as the day was not over Jamie had to go potty and left her purse in my hall , Jerry her hubby came by the following night and picked it up and bonus returned my leg pillow didn't even notice it was gone.It was a deffinite adventure and not a ghost in sight!
