Starting out early Saturday morning, I was amazed about how I have forgotten the charm of the sleepiness of Toronto at that time of the morning. It was a quick drive to pick up my friend Valerie. We were on our way to St. Jacob’s Market at Kitchener and Waterloo. About 12o kms away from […]

One of the things I have significantly decreased with my change of professions are my travels out of Canada. Whenever I get a reason to travel within reasonable cost, I pounce on it with an enthusiasm of a kid inside a candy store. This past long weekend was Ontario’s Family day weekend. When my good […]

So what do you do when the cousin that is visiting you have been here a couple of times? Everyone says that the third time is the charm. Does that mean I have to top the previous two visits? We have done all the obvious Toronto draws (CN Tower, trip to Niagara Falls, etc, etc). […]

Every year my sister and I invite friends and family to her house and we collectively carve pumpkins. We give the pumpkins and by the end of the get-together, we take photos of the pumpkins together with who had carved it. It’s all in great fun and company. This year we scheduled it for next […]
