Such a mild winter

January 31, 2012 by Tricia

We’re having such a strange winter here in Toronto. It’s been so mild. Well for the most part. We did get some snow this week, but it’s already melted and it’s even raining outside now. Yes … strange weather.

I was just thinking … if this weather keeps up and it stays mild and spring like that I’d like to do some outdoor activities … things that I would normally do in the spring or summer – like horseback riding or something. Of course I’d have to go looking for equestrian apparel if I were to do that, but it would be fun to go horse back riding in this weather. Maybe on the beach?

Actually speaking of the beach … perhaps this weekend I’ll take my dog to the beach. Oh not to let her in the water. I know the water will be far to cold – and I know she’ll still want to try to go in, she is after all a Labrador Retriever and she loves the water, but she’ll love just running along the beach on the sand. I’ve always loved going to the beach in the winter time. It’s different, but it’s nice.

Is it mild in your area too this winter? Are you doing things that you normally don’t do in the winter time?

Busy weekend with my sister in law

January 31, 2012 by Tricia

My sister in law came for a visit this past weekend. She came to Toronto on the train on Friday and then went on to Oakville to visit with an old school friend on Sunday.

We had a very busy two days! Dinners out, shopping at the Eaton’s center, lots of catching up … I was tired out by the end of the weekend.

One night we went to a local restaurant for dinner and caught some live music. My husband was working that evening otherwise I’m sure he would have joined us. It’s too bad he wasn’t with us as I’m sure he would have been drooling over the guitars the band was playing. In fact, I think he really would have wanted to take a good look at the lakland 55-02 that the bass player was using. My husband is a guitar player, but he toys with the bass and I know he would have liked that instrument. Anyway .. the band was really good and so was the food.

The next day we had a lot of fun shopping. I needed a new winter hat so we had fun in the Bay with me trying on all kinds of hats. Of course I didn’t find a hat that I liked … but it was fun trying them all on. I gave my sister in law quite a few laughs.

What did you do this past weekend?

Time to visit a flea market?

January 24, 2012 by Tricia

I want to do something different this weekend. I’ve been so bored lately!

One thing I was thinking about was that I haven’t been to a flea market in ages. Now, I don’t think that I’ve ever really been to one in the winter time, but I know that there are some indoor ones in this area that I could check out.

I love looking at antique furniture like a roll top desk or a beautiful chair, or delicate china or what I consider odd or outdated kitchen tools and appliances.

I’ve been known to buy beat up pieces of furniture only to refinish them and turn them into beautiful looking pieces. Perhaps if I were to go to a flea market this weekend I could find a “project” to keep me busy for a while.

Do you like going to flea markets and or buying old furniture to refinish it?

January just blew by didn’t it?

January 24, 2012 by Tricia

Wow, it’s hard to believe that January is almost over isn’t it? This month seems to have gone by so quickly or so it seems. At the beginning of this month I never would have thought that it would have felt like this month would have flown by like this as I was (and still am) extremely stressed but I’ve kept myself busy and the month is almost over.

Before we know it, it will be Valentines day .. and it’s a Leap year this year too!

Speaking of Valentines .. one of my nieces called me this weekend and she was talking to me about how she was searching for the perfect valentines day gifts for bf Dan.I don’t know him very well so I could only offer a few suggestions. I did point her towards a few good online sites that might give her some ideas too.

Are you looking forward to Valentines? Do you buy gifts?
