up to Kitchener

Dad and I left this morning at 6am. That is so early! There wasn't any traffic on the road though and we made good time up to Kitchener. We got to my mom's around 9 and she made breakfast for me. Then we sat around and gabbed until just before noon.

Mel had a doctor's appointment, so they dropped me off at teh mall in Cambridge. I got some more beauty things (that Dior in Windsor didn't have in stock), as well as a new watch for myself and one for Hirohsi, a new pair of shoes and some souvenirs for people. I even had time to relax for a bit in the food court and watch the ice skaters... yes, there is an ice rink there!

They picked me back up a few hours later and we went home for dinner. Mom even made shortcake with fresh strawberries for dessert. Now that is something I haven't had in years and years. Then we all piled in the car and went to the casino... only I lost all the money I had set aside to gamble with. No luck tonight!
