Still No School and More Trimming of the Ivy

Running Around

Today was a day of running around not accomplishing much. I began by driving Megan to Mississauga Secondary School. She was told to be there from 8:30 to 10:30. It was her final day of her summer 2 credit co-op program. It is a 25 minute drive at that time of day. When we arrivedContinue reading “Running Around”
