I’ve got to get myself into a boat!

by

I’m still trying to find a way to go boating this year. We’ve been invited to a friends house tomorrow night and they live out in the middle of no where … I think on a lake. If I’m lucky maybe I’ll find myself in a canoe tomorrow evening or Saturday morning.

I just adore canoing and I’m so upset that I haven’t gone for a few years. I swear I was born in a canoe. There’s photos of me in canoes and boats when I was so young that I have no memory of it. That’s why I say I must have been born in a canoe because there’s certainly photographic evidence that I’ve been enjoying them most of my life!

Well if I don’t get to go boating this weekend I know that on September first I’ll be on a boat. A cruise boat! My brother made reservations for our whole family to go on a Toronto dinner boat cruise on September first. That should be fun. It’s not a canoe but it’ll be fun. Dinner, drinks, getting together with my family – and a boat. Yeahhh.





Rick Wakeman concert

by

We’ve just discovered that there’s some really good concerts going on this summer at the Danforth Music Hall. Chris has been trying to buy concert tickets for the Rick Wakeman concert on August 19th.

What you don’t know who Rick Wakeman is? Have you heard of the band YES? Oh YES you have … I’m sure you have. The tickets are about $70. Kind of expensive but this might be Chris’ only time to see him in concert. I guess if he’s going to buy the tickets he’ll have to do it soon.

Funny thing. Mandy Moore – yes the actress, has a concert at the Danforth Music Hall on September 21st. Interesting.

Moms check out the special promo I just wrote about!

by

Hey if you’re a mom that needs a break take a look at the post that I just wrote on my gardening blog.

It’s for a special luxury weekend called Motherhood Redefined. If you use the special promo code that I listed in the post you can get 75% off the price of the whole event which includes accommodations in a four star resort, a chance to see celebrity speakers and special interactive workshops.

If I was a mom who needed to get away from it all I’d go!

As it is I don’t think I’ll be going on any kind of holiday in the near future, other than perhaps my possible trip to Las Vegas in November. I’m still up in the air on that one though as I need to find out hotel and flight prices etc.

A shopping site where users blog about the items listed – Shogging

by

I was just visiting a new website called Shogging.com. It’s a website that allows it’s visitors to do some Comparison Shopping. There are millions of products listed.

Shog is a combination of the word shop and blog and this site is also a combination of shopping and blogging, thus it’s name Shogging, because users of the site can not only compare prices of the various items that they are interested in, but they can also blog about their experiences with the products or stores selling the item.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a site quite like this before. It’s an interesting concept. I’m bookmarking the site so that the next time I’m thinking of buying something I can see if anyone’s written about it. I love reading write ups about items I’m interested in purchasing.

Taste of the Danforth

by

Did you know that this is the weekend that the Taste of the Danforth is on in Toronto? It runs from Friday evening until Sunday at 6 pm.

Part of the Danforth is closed off and all the stores and restaurants have sales and sell food outside of their premises. Oh it’s great! There’s also rides for the kids and beer tents for the adults.

I love just walking the Danforth during this festival. Stopping at one restaurant for a shisk kebab paying on $1 for it, then stopping at another place for a barbecued corn on the cob, another for a small bowl of chilli and finally near Broadview there’s a place that makes home made ice cream. I always get a waffle cone there. It’s the only time of year that I tend to eat ice cream let alone in a waffle cone. Yummy.

The walk through the crowded 10 or 12 blocks of the Danforth takes an hour or two one way between the crowded streets and stopping at the various stores and restaurant stands.

I’m happy that we live close too. It’s only about a 10 minute walk to the Danforth so we don’t have to deal with parking. I think last year close to 2 million people attended the Taste of the Danforth!

I’ll take pictures if I go! We’ve got guests this weekend and they stopped us from going last year. I’m determined that we’ll go this year.
