Just back from a wonderful holiday in the Mediterranean and looking forward to sharing, but crazy busy now at home before guests arrive from the UK, and we all head West to the Rockies. Tally ho as they say. More to come… Riki
Read more "Wonderful Cruise to Greece, Croatia and a little bit of Italy"It is already mid August, and soon summer will be over. How did that happen? Now it seems I am trying to squeeze all the good summer things out of the next few weeks, just as I am squeezing all I can out of life. Once you hit your seventies things change subtly like waking […]
Read more "Summer in the City 2018 Part Two"I love summer in the city. This year it has been sunny and hot although sometimes too hot and humid, but my flowers look great, and it is super to sit outside in our back garden and sip rosé in the early evening with Charles and Oscar. Barbecue time has arrived and our favorites are […]

Read more "Our First River Cruise Part 1"When I return to Toronto many people ask me” How was your vacation?” I always answer the same thing, that it isn’t a vacation, just my normal, busy life in a warm climate, and a small town. Aside from playing golf, which takes up a considerable amount of time and is always elusive, there is […]
Read more "My Florida Part Three"I am not sure whether it is the fact of getting older that makes time pass so quickly or just that time passes quickly. Thanksgiving in the United States is the kick off for Christmas.

Read more "My Florida Part 2"I have been a snowbird since I was a tot. If you have read my book see: Aria: Song of a Life at riki-turofsky.com, you might remember my stories of travelling each winter down to Florida with my family for spring training of the then Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team. My father was a photographer, […]
Read more "My Florida Part 1"It seems only yesterday that we were starting the new Millennia. Much talk about computers shutting down, the world coming to an end, watching the first of the New Year in Australia on television, and here we are 18 years later.
