Hope it doesn't snow - LIKE IT DID THIS AFTERNOON!!!! --  and hope we haven't had our spring and summer rolled into one in the past warm month.

Happy Birthday to me

Just a quick not to say I had a wonderful birthday this year.  Dinner with the family at Boston Pizza whee everyone acted so well (and by that I mean the little ones were so good all through the evening) and I received more and bigger gifts than I could every imagine.  Also received a beautiful plant from my mother and a fabulous gift certificate from my sisters.  Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.
The next evening was a delicious meal put on at Nancy's house by my good friends.  Again gifts!! A bouquet of flowers and many cards.  So much fun and a wonderful Birthday weekend.

Sunday

Brooke cut into small pieces pepperoni sticks for the dogs.  She said both Lily - who never eats ANY treats - and Radar both love them, so if we are outside, just call the dogs and they will come running for Pepperoni.  Well, they weren't the only ones that loved pepperoni.   Emerson said very well "more pepperoni please" as you can see from the above video,

Jazz Night

Brooke's mom was in town so the "girls" went to see a jazz show at the Arts Centre.

It took me back to the time Merv & I went to jazz coffee houses around the U of T.
