An Amazing Evening

 We are back from our incredible Tuscan vacation with Heather & Andy.  Though coming home was tough with 3 flights, a missed connection, lost luggage and Travis with a head cold, it was all worth it.  We stayed at the same place we first visited in 2013: Podere di Pomaio in Arezzo.  It is a beautiful family owned organic vineyard with an 800 year old villa.  The views are majestic and the food is unbelievable.  Heather & I were lucky to have our personal chefs Travisimmo and Andisimmo cooking for us, as well as three feasts from Pomaio themselves.  It was a week of napping, relaxing, playing cards, reading, drinking wine, sunset viewing, eating great food and being silly (sorry - I mean having intellectual conversations) with friends in the gorgeous Italian countryside.  Everything we could have hoped for and I would give anything to return!  Check out our pictures on the Gallery Page and Awesome Things on the Travel Page of the Blog.  Special thank you to momma Smith for our incredible meal in Florence.
​
Now we are getting excited for Keith's visit this week.  We will be heading to Bowmanville to visit Mike, Wendy & Granny on Friday and then off to Montreal on Sunday.  I will be speaking at a Press Conference at the Montreal Neurological Institute, where they will be announcing the historic investment in ALS research.  As well, Dad and his friends have been hard at work organizing a fundraising dinner at Table 09 in the West Island on November 19th benefiting ALS Canada.  It's not too late to get tickets or donate to the event.  Hope to see you there!
