We had such a nice day today. We relaxed in the morning and then in the afternoon went to the BOSE store, where we watched a promotional video on the new BOSE TV—no wires and a phenomenal built-in BOSE audio system. We stopped at the Apple Store and then went to the Hudson Bay store and bought Trisha a teapot.

The purchasing of the teapot was a bit of an ordeal as the salespersons could not find the exact product, box or skew number for the teapot even though a perfectly good display teapot was sitting right in front of us. We watched for a good half hour as two sales clerks made multiple frenzied and confused trips into various back rooms. They finally allowed us to buy the teapot, albeit they could not allow themselves to part with the proper box and wrapped it in tissue paper for us instead. Shopping in Canada. :-)

Dan came home from a day’s work at the hospital where he had assisted in a course on ultra-sound, which is one of his areas of expertise. (Dan studied ultra-sound for a year in Denver.)  Trisha made us an amazing seafood feast and finished it up with homemade chocolate hazelnut cookies. It was an evening to remember. We can’t wait until we got to visit them again.
