Two sleeps to go

I returned my 407/ETR transponder yesterday, so I am well and truly on my way out of Ontario. One day to go.

Today I spent a couple of hours with one of the most important people in my life, Bette. She has treated me like family ever since she has known me, some thirty-three years now. She is someone I look up to and admire, and I don't think any of us could have a better role model. I will miss her terribly. She said she was disappointed that she had no gift to send with me, and I told her that she has given me the greatest gift of all, her friendship. I carry her in my heart, always. What more could I possibly want?

Tomorrow I will see my Ontario family for the last time, until my next visit. I had better get my act together before that event, because I have to be ready to pick Shirley up at 7:00 Monday morning.
