Midweek in Toronto CONTINUED...

Jordan woke me in the morning, and soon the house was full of kids. We went bowling and then back to the ranch for pizza and cake. It was an ice cream cake, with a shark popping out of the top!

I guess going to late night rock concerts, and restaurants at 1:00 am, sucks the energy right out of ya!

My brother stopped by that night, and it was nice to see him, since I hadn't in over a year. I only wish I had taken more pictures!

Sophie recieved a hampster, in a mansion of a cage, and named it "peanut". (as well as a mitt full of cash and some nice crafty gifts from her friends.

It wasn't my birthday, but my sister gave me a terrific dinner ware set. The red matches my purple chairs quite nicely!

Midweek in Toronto

What a nice treat that my bosses allowed me to take a Thursday and Friday off to go to my nieces Birthday! Not having to be back at work till Saturday afternoon, I felt like I had a mini vacation. I Thank them for that, I had a nice time and a well needed rest! Although there will be pictures within this blog,,, I am asked not to mention any names. Most of you know the people in the pictures anyways, others can guess. I hadn't seen my sister and family in over a year, since most of you know, I was sick over the holidays and usually go there at Christmas time.

I always feel a little awkward at my sisters, since there is a constant agenda. Usually in the kitchen.... with breakfast, (which I don't eat) , lunch (which I don't eat) and a fabulous dinner. I always want to help, but this time the deep cut on my finger held me back. Other times, helping seemed futile, since they have it down to a fine art! Greeks, excellent cooking, and putting it all together so fast is an art that has rubbed off on my sister bigtime... however I guess I'm more of a server and eater.

Soon after arrival and enjoying a beautiful chicken dinner, my son called, telling me that his Kingston trip had been cancelled and that he'd like to join us. No buses or trains till morning, so we expected him at 10:00 am.... We tried to keep his arrival a secret from his favourite cousin,,, however she soon learned that he was coming,, and was thrilled, since he could then join her and some friends to go to a rock concert,,, "Hedley", who she had met previously. If you know Jord, anything with the word "concert" in it, works for him! ...(to be continued, when I am able to add pictures!)

Paint Pushin

Don't tell anyone.... It demanded in my lease, I CANNOT paint. But what the heck! Cold white walls didn't look too cozy with the new sage coloured furniture. It's nice and I like it, thats all that matters! It's a real pain in the butt that I ran out of paint with about seven square feet to go.... back to Walmart I guess! I just hope that the new tin will match up!

Thought I'd add a couple of snaps of the latest purchases, for those that don't visit enough!
