Read more "Coming soon: So along comes Summer"Have you noticed that every year spring comes faster? Well there is spring and there is spring. Quite profound I know, but some years spring in Toronto just doesn’t happen. We go from cold and chilly usually when we return from Florida, to steamy hot. This year spring is really slow to develop.

Read more "Spring 2023"I often muse about what makes life good. I am now a senior, some would say old, however, I feel like a young woman, well maybe not young especially when I am exhausted after a round of 18 hole golf, or start to feel little aches and pains.

Read more "Quality of life"I am sitting in my den in Florida on a very cold for here day. It is Christmas Eve, and the temperature is 30 degrees F or -1 C. It is sunny and should be a beautiful day, albeit chilly. I will soon find my ski jacket and don my woolies and take Oscar for […]

I love that picture! We settled in our cabin on the Scenic Diamond. If any of you have ever been on a River Cruise […]
Read more "Bordeaux River Cruise with The Globe and Mail Part 2"Charles and I have always wanted to do a river cruise with The Globe and Mail.

Read more "Bordeaux River cruise with The Globe and Mail"It is the beginning of May, and Charles and I have returned to Toronto after 6 months in Florida. Normally, I would write about the events and activities that we did In Florida in a chronological way, but this time I will work backwards, perhaps just highlighting the special times. Our trip home to Toronto […]
Read more "Travel, Traffic and return to Toronto"We arrived in Florida in November this year and it has been wonderful, with lots of activities and time spent with old friends.
