Who knew they raised water buffalo in Stirling, Ontario? Well, they do, and Mimi took us to the Stirling Water Buffalo Festival on Saturday to check it out. There were all manner of water buffalo products to try - milkshakes, ribs, cheese, yarn. (Well, the yarn was actually alpaca, but I bought some anyway.)
The rain followed us back to Joyce's house where we sat on her porch and shared a little vino.
Rain cleared up the next day, though, and we were able to eat outside at the Waterfront Pub with our friends the Tomlinsons. Jean and Jim drove down from Uxbridge just to see us, even though Jean had only returned the night before from a walking tour in England.
Sunday night we had dinner at Rick and Fran's - their famous lasagna and salad. We had a great visit with them, as well as Thomas and Richard. What nice young men those Rowley boys turned out to be!
Monday we visited the Napanee District Community Foundation, and wandered around town. Dinner was at Joyce's, another home cooked meal, at which we shared a bottle of Tom's birthday wine.
Tuesday morning our Hostess with the Mostest, Eunice, invited Joyce and Rick to have breakfast with us at her B&B. Yummy. Then we went to lunch at Chez Piggy with Mimi before she dropped us off at the train station in Kingston.
And here we are again ... WiFi in Winnipeg!
