Duchess Goodies

Yesterday we went downtown to 124 st so Scott could pick up some things he needs for his bike. While we were down there we wandered around a bit and eventually stopped off at The Duchess bakery. Wow. I'd never been there before and I now think I will become a frequent visitor (unfortunately for my waistline, lol!) We used up a gift certificate from our lovely friends Sandy & Jamie. We got a sampling of their different kinds of macaroons, a few merengues, and a little chocolate cake called "the duke". Boy oh boy, those macaroons were absolutely scrumptious!! We wolfed those suckers down in no time flat. I recommend trying them out.

This week I'm into vacation packing, house-cleaning, tidying up mode. It's nice that it's a bit cooler because it helps my motivation levels. I actually feel like cooking and I did the vacuuming with no trouble at all today. We even went out for a nice walk in our neighbourhood...it wasn't too humid and hot! Now Ethan is just having a nap (he's probably going to wake up any time now) and I've got supper planned. Things are progressing alright.

I think we'll pop over to the mall today - I need to get Ethan's dress shoes for his ringbearer stint. I've got Annika's dress shoes. Just need a headband/fancy hair clip now and then should be good to go. Oh yeah, and one other minor detail - I need a dress!! Eeek! Need to get on that and fast.

Tomorrow I'm taking the van in for a tune-up before we leave for vacation. Hopefully all will be well.
Have a great week all!

And thanks for keeping me in your prayers/thoughts....I appreciate it and love all my close friends and family.
