Leeside Friends

Our day started out by getting some lunch to us at the Black Spoon. I've heard nothing but good reviews from this place and it also won for best desserts in 2012, so to say the least we weren't disappointed. Then we hit the stores to partake in the Boxing Day sales. For my American friends, this is almost equivalent to your Black Friday just not as crazy. LOL The stores were packed. Mom bought a new laptop as she had been using the desktop computer we gave her 6 years ago. It was the computer we bought in Italy 8 years ago. We then came home, Steve set her new computer up and then we decided to order some pizza. Meanwhile Mohini, our friend who lives down the street, phoned and asked why we weren't by yet. LOL After explaining to her that we've been non-stop since we arrived, I invited her up to have pizza with us. While we were eating, Rhonda's mom came by and dropped off some delicious dinner rolls and shortbread that she made. She is one of the best cooks ever and I'm so lucky that every time I come home she makes my favorite foods for me. 
Before long, there was another knock on the door. It was Mrs. Baillie and Mara. We all sat in the living room catching up for awhile. Then Mrs. Baillie invited us next door to her house so that Tyler could see his good buddy, Andrew. They got a little reacquainted while we did some more catching up. Overall, it was a fantastic night catching up with some longtime friends. My mom has the best neighbors!!!
