A Staycation With Old Pals in Downtown Toronto

A view of downtown Toronto from our good friends' 33rd floor condo unit. 











I am grateful that we have made some good friends in our younger days. Though we changed schools a few times, and now we are retired,. we always try to keep in touch with our good friends from work.











Just a week before Christmas, we were invited to spend a weekend with our good friends at their downtown Toronto condo.

When we go away from our house, we normally go out of town for a weekend but accepted this staycation idea from our friends.





R. gave me a cooking lesson on making ab apple cake

H. and R. were glad to see us since we hadn't seen each other for almost half a year. They had planned activities for us to do together this weekend.









R. is a very good cook. Whenever we visit them, he always cooks up a storm and prepares a lot of delicious food for us.













This time he got all the ingredients, and gave me a couple of cooking lessons.





A yummy apple cake was made from scratch in an hour's time
I am not a good cook; I was glad to learn how to make this easy but very delicious apple cake ready to serve in less than an hour!














We spent time enjoying good home made food and conversation.














While R. shared with me his expertise in cooking, H. and I spent time catching up and reminiscing our good old time in our teaching days. H. was immensely proud of his daughter. He showed me a newspaper article about an award his daughter received recently.

Enjoying some after dinner wine, R. shared with us the pictures of his nephew's wedding in a tropical resort.








We had a really good night of sleep at their condo!




My husband was delighted  at the 5 star cuisine prepared by our host





When we were up the next morning,  R. already set the table and prepared us a full delicious breakfast!

We went to church on Sunday morning and returned to our friends' condo for our second night of stay there.

It was a great staycation weekend for us!
