Last week was a full slate of activities. Monday's bike ride with the Roaming Riders took us about 8 kms south of Brantford to the little village of Mt. Pleasant with The Windmill Country Market as the final destination. "A touch of Europe" according to its ad, has a breakfast, lunch and a coffee bar with freshly baked goodies that are difficult to resist. Cinnamon bun for Bob, a date turnover for me. I have no resistance whatsoever....The ride back was relatively easy with the wind behind us but Bob managed to have a flat tire to make the trip more eventful. Two couples stayed with us; the guys pulling out their tools while the ladies took turns telling previous flat tire stories. One lady actually kept the piece of glass that blew her husband's tire! Where was my camera when there's a photo op?
The local Diabetes Association chapter, along with various pharmaceutical sponsors, had a public symposium entitled "Diabetes Management and Stress" one evening. The 2 keynote speakers were both effective and provided an excellent program. I've been out of nursing for less than 2 years and I was quite impressed with the new information that's out there!
As members of the Royal Botanical Gardens, we were invited to a presentation about the newest garden featuring native species at the RBG. As it happens, the major donor for the Helen Kippax Garden is a Brantford resident and niece of Helen Kippax. Coffee and hor d'oeuvres convinced Bob to come with me but we both enjoyed the evening.
Who says there aren't free entertainment?
