TORONTO AGAIN-edit

Our visit is just about finished. We leave in the early morning to go to Montreal – back home! We have been busy every minute. I wish I had planned to stay longer. There just wasn’t the time to see everyone.
Friday night we went to my nephew’s for supper. He is my brother’s eldest son. He has always been my favourite because he is the one that keeps the family together. He is always inviting his siblings to his home for holidays. When we are here we go too. They have brought up their children very well! The children help to serve the meal, cook, bake and clean up! Girls and boys – whatever. We had a delicious meal and great conversation. They are the ones that are having the Bar MITZVAH in December and I will fly back for it. Last night I thought that someone should entertain for the out-of-towners Friday night. I don’t think my nephew will. They are saving every penny for their trip to Israel at the end of December. Six of them will be very expensive. Anyhow I mentioned it to hubby and of course he didn’t say anything. He doesn’t want to spend the money and I can’t blame him. It will cost me plenty to come here from Florida etc. I will mention it to my niece. She is the one who should probably do it as she goes to their home for everything. I think my sister should also contribute something even though she is on a very limited budget. After all she also goes there for every holiday!!!!!!! Am I wrong? I don’t think so. I bet my niece never even thought of doing the Friday night.
Anyhow on Saturday morning we went to visit hubby’s brother. He is doing very well but of course is a very sick man. His wife on the other hand is EXHAUSTED!!!!! Her husband is a very very stubborn individual. EVERYTHING has to be HIS WAY! He has always been like this but now it is even worse. My poor SIL!!!!!! She has chosen to be his SLAVE! He has always had a tight schedule to follow. If it is time for his nap the whole world can explode. He will still have his nap. I feel so sorry for her but she made her choice. I could never stand for a man like that! SELFISH WITH A CAPITAL S!
After that I went out for a coffee with my sister. She is 81 and doing fine. We had a very nice short visit.
Saturday night we went for supper with hubby’s brother and sister and my daughter and her boyfriend. I had delicious lamb chops!!!!!!
Sunday morning my cousin picked me up and we took her granddaughters to see a play. It had a very deep message. At nine and five I don’t think they got it. Afterwards we went to a toy store of course and then she brought me home. We went for supper with my daughter and her boyfriend. We spent about three hours talking!!!!!!
All in all a very satisfying trip. I did miss seeing a cousin. I will see her when I return for the BAR MITZVAH. I have to get busy and book tickets for plays in NY. My daughter still doesn’t know if she will come to NY so I can’t book any plays yet. I am getting frustrated but I will give her a few more days. I still have two more doctors to visit – my gyno to see if things cleared up and the dermatologist.
