June 9 – Had to be up at 7 today to be ready when Pete and Jane arrived.  I did manage to make our special Sunday breakfast but instead of regular bacon we had peameal.  I’m going to get spoiled on that and then can’t get it at home.

 

Needle from our seats

Mr Happy at the game

Pete drove us all to Oakville, Ontario, Canada to catch the commuter train into Toronto.  The traffic is a mess and parking is expensive and hard to find so this way we ended at Union Station and walked to the stadium via the Skywalk.  We could see the Needle from the train and from the Skywalk and even better from our seats at Roger Center.  We didn’t know we would get figurines of Jose Reyes for being early birds.  Bill was impressed.  The Blue Jays got beat by the Rangers 6 -4 but we really didn’t care who won.  It had been probably 20 years since we came to a game there and got to see George Brett hit for the cycle.    Last time we were at the VERY top but today we had seats just 15 rows up on the 3^rd base side.  Sweet!  The weather was great but as all stadiums go, the food was pricy and not much in the way of healthy.  I did manage to find a chicken Caesar salad, so at least I got green.

 

The train was much fuller on the way home as we took a pretty early train in but left with a lot of the crowd.  Seems like we got home much faster.  After dropping us off, Pete and Jean headed home and I made dinner.  Good thing I still had 2 Italian chicken sausages in the fridge.  Whipped up some slaw and a kind of insalada caprese and we were set.  Before Bill did his dishes we took a bike ride through the park.  There are 2 new 5^th wheels and of course we have to compare.

 

Bill called his other cousins and got hold of Sharon and we’re going to her house in the morning.  Roger didn’t answer so we will either stop by or Bill will call again in the morning.  We’re going over to Pete and Jane’s after lunch.  I printed a bunch of postcards so we’ll need to get stamps and mail once we get back to the states.  It’s much nicer this evening but later on might need the heat AGAIN.
