Just Another Day. . .

. . . in the sun. It was a total scorcher here today (and in many, many other places as well). I took my Mom for groceries in the morning (she doesn't drive - never has, never will), and we spent the rest of the day by the pool. Clara decided that it should be clothing optional - for a while she was a little nudist. She refused to put her bikini top back on because "Corwin doesn't have to, so I'm going to pretend I'm a boy". Okay - time for extra sunscreen, though!

Even with the pool and the shade and the AC, the kids have been exhausted by the end of the day. The heat and the extreme humidity is a factor for sure. They were both out by 8. The breeze really picked up this evening - the humidity is supposed to break and we may have thunderstorms overnight. My parents live very close to Lake Ontario, so even though we heard a few rumbles and saw some lightning, there's also a good chance that the storm may just blow over and hit north of here. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Tomorrow, Hubby and I are heading to Stratford. We're going to see South Pacific, one of the selections at this year's Stratford Festival. I wish we had more time (and money!) so that we could see a couple of the Shakespeare productions, but it's not in the cards. We're going to have dinner before the show, and we're spending the night at our favourite B&B, where we spent our wedding night (and several other stays). As for dinner, Hubby made reservations at Pazzo, while I had suggested Keystone Alley. I was a little annoyed, particularly as I looked up Pazzo to check out the menu, only to discover that it is a pizzeria. All well and good, but I don't really want a big pizza or heaping plate of pasta before a play - in July! I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to seem ungrateful. Well, today he suggested that we change our reservations to Keystone Alley. I called and left a message, and hopefully that will work out. Funnily enough, I also discovered that Pazzo has two dining areas - the pizzeria, and the fine dining experience. I'm SO glad I didn't bitch about it! And either way, it will be a fabulous evening - dinner out, great entertainment, and a romantic room at a B&B. And no kids!
