Double-double Day


Geoff wanted a relaxing day as a prelude to their trip home. Well, I don't think there is such a thing when Armstrongs are on holiday. The boys decided for their last day, it would be double donut day. Since the closest Tim Hortons (famous for double-double coffee--double cream, double sugar) was downtown, we piled into the van and headed there. We took a detour through Market Square before reaching the donut shop.

There was a great deal of time spent deciding on which donut to choose but finally decisions were made. We bought a dozen donuts and a couple of coffees. The place was full so the boys enjoyed their treat on a separate table. I can't remember the last time I had more than one donut but it left me with a sugar high.

After lunch, the kids were expected to nap (they didn't) while Mom and Grampy slept. Geoff wanted to do lattes at Moka House so he and I walked to the one about a block away. We came home to everyone wide awake.

Barbecued chickens were on the menu for supper so Melissa and Geoff headed out to buy a lovely bottle of wine to compliment them. The boys had double drumsticks for supper topping off double-double day.
