Sister Visit

After much anticipation, the long-awaited sister visit from Janessa finally happened! It was so good to see her again, and now only three-ish months left before our next 'reunion.'
Jon picked her up from the airport as I had to work till 3:30 on Friday, and when I got home, we ran some errands and did some shopping. The next day was spent in Niagra Falls. The next 2 days were spent (for me, at least) in bed! I caught the flu from a co-worker and that put me out for the rest of the visit. I mustered up some energy for some shopping & a drive to the water front, but that was pretty much my limit. Despite the sickness, it was still a wonderful weekend. Luckily Jon is a great Hamilton tour guide! That, combined with Janessa's addiction to the Twilight series, made me feel a little less guilty about being sick.

Strawberry Tongues...it's a thing we do.

Easter ham/meal

On another note, Jon and I went for an evening walk last night...in our sweaters! Lovely weather the past few days...Spring is definitely here in Ontario--lots of flowers starting to bloom! Love it. I think the sign below says it best: Welcome- Spring!

This Makes Me Happy

Cadbury is making steps to have its most popular chocolate bar in the UK Fair Trade. It's a start in a positive direction for a major international company! I'm happy for those in Ghana who will be positively effected by this.
