Williamsville visit

We had a most enjoyable visit to Buffalo—actually it is really Williamsville where Ruth has her home. It was amazing to visit it this time after their huge snow storm last October where many of the trees in the city were damaged. There was a great deal of damage in Ruth’s back yard too—most of her trees survived but lost many of their branches. We were able to be outside much of the time as it did not get hot and humid until Tuesday and when we moved indoors it was movie time. We all enjoyed watching the Queen and in fact watched it a second time along with the director’s comments. It is hard to believe that it is 10 years since Diana died and 10 years since Tony Blair first came to office and now he too is gone. The acting was superb and I enjoyed the story line—I do wonder what the Queen thinks of our impressions.

Tuesday was Ruth’s 83rd birthday so we celebrated by going out to lunch at Harry’s Harbourview Restaurant in downtown Buffalo—right on the water. Cathleen joined us so we had another good visit. We did spend that afternoon indoors watching yet another movie but did find time for a nice long walk after dinner as it had cooled some and there was a nice breeze.
