Toronto

My trip to Toronto went by quickly. First came Easter with all the family gatherings and feasts (below is Kate in her Easter dress). Then came my cold. I can't believe that every time I visit the big city I become ill. I had a cold, sore throat, then laryngitis (which is always handy when trying to visit people). I'm still recovering. Besides that, I had a great time. Went to see Kayla's basketball tournament (that's Kayla getting that extra point). Her team won the gold medal which was exciting to see. Visited Aunt Deeny who I haven't seen for at least 10 years, and Aunt Liz & Uncle Joe and of course my mum and all my sisters and nieces and nephews. Spent most of my time at sister Lisa's house as she had the new baby (my whole reason for my trip). In the little time I was there I saw Kate develop her skills - she laughed more, talked more and got 3 new teeth. And, I had to go shopping with my sisters. We went to the lovely town of Troy where a local potter has his shop and as you can see from the bottom picture, Debbie bought the most. I was also treated to dinner at the restaurant (Cafe Troy) attached to the pottery house. All in all, it was a quick trip but a good trip despite my illness and cold weather.
