It's SNOW Time!

Could it be?  No, I can't believe it!!  It's snowing!!!  Do I seem a little excited? Over the top?  Yes sir-ee I am totally over the moon to see snow!  After all, it is the end of January in Southern Ontario...we should have snow - lots of it!  It's officially toboggan time!!

We have a great hill close to us - anyone who grew up in Scarborough probably remembers it.  Some call it Dead Man's Hill - we just call it BIG.  And STEEP. And SO MUCH FUN!  Sorry for the shouting, but I just love to see the big, fluffy, white flakes that promise so much enjoyment.

Grab your sleds and head on out!!  Hey, it is Southern Ontario after all - we may have spring tomorrow.

Keep smiling!

Little Retirement Home = Big Fun

Armed with my Bose speaker, my iPhone and the Songza app I headed into the retirement home for Friday manicures!  The ladies had been harassing me on my Tuesday visit that we'd been away for too long (away for 2 weeks over the Christmas break).  They really love us!!

Well, I put on Songza, and chose the "Pleasing a Crowd - Celebrate Good Times" playlist.  What a hit!!!  Toes tapping, gossip flying and everyone smiling.  It was a great morning.  I'm still smiling as I type this!

One of my favourites - Maryanne, came up with a dandy quote on the spot (I wrote it down so I'd get it right):

You only live once - with limitations.  Let's not go overboard.

I know it's hilarious!  I think this is t-shirt material.  No pun intended.

Keep smiling!!
