Allez Home!

The wee one has been telling everyone at la maison in Oka "Je veux allez home!" (I want to go Home; and home being Toronto), If you've been reading this for a while you know about her insisting that she was going Home with Papa on the train and the tearful departures on the train platform when she couldn't.

Today she got what she wanted.

We packed the car and got on the road at about 4:00. After stopping to day a couple of "aurevoirs"(not goodbye, until next time) we caught one of the last ferries of the season are running that cross the Ottawa River from Oka to Hudson.

It poured rain from Oka to Toronto. Fortunately truck traffic was light and road spray to a minimum. Luckily for Pace and I the wee one slept most of the way and we had a chance to talk.

Once we finally got in about 10:30 the wee one charged about gathering toys and dolls she had not played with in a couple of months. It was another couple of hours before the wee one had calmed down enough to sleep.

Pace and I were so exhausted I can't remember if we kissed goodnight.
