Continuing into Ontario

After our overnight stay at the Harvest Host farm in Quebec on Saturday night, we headed west and north into Ontario and to Ottawa to meet up with some former co-workers of Patti...

Not very far after leaving the farm, we entered Ontario...

St Andrew Catholic Church in West St Andrew, Ontario -- A beautiful church with a rather magnificent steeple in this town!

Cropland was prevalent along the way we were driving.

This farm building had one roof covered with solar panels...

...and the building that was perpendicular had panels raised to catch the sun's rays too!

I had contacted a couple of ladies who had worked for Cognos before it was acquired by IBM and with whom I had worked at IBM. We arranged to meet at a shopping center that had a Walmart (I figured we could find a place to park Gracie there), and one of them recommended a restaurant... so we met up for lunch.

It was so nice to catch up with Sarah and Deb!

It is fun to get to see former co-workers who are also friends as we travel! When we worked together, we rarely saw each other (I was in Texas and they were in Ottawa), but we were on meetings (conference calls) together. It is nice to see them in person. None of us work for IBM now...
