Going to a concert tomorrow night!

July 25, 2008 by Tricia

Tomorrow Chris and I are going to the Canadian Open golf tournament at Glenn Abbey. My brother managed to get the two of us free passes for the day.

My husband is more into golf than I am. I’m not into it at all, but I still think it will be kind of interesting to go to the tournament as I’ve never been to one before and there will be some big names there. Plus who knows I might even see some celebrities too.

My brother had a choice of day passes to get us. He could either get us day passes for the semi finals on Saturday or the Finals on Sunday. He went with the Saturday passes because from Thursday to Saturday each evening after the rounds are finished there’s supposed to be a free concert. Tomorrow night Tom Cochrane and Red Rider are playing and unbeknownst to my brother that is one of my favorite bands of all time. I’ve never been to a Tom Cochrane concert so I’m super stoked to go.

The only problem with our day and evening away from home is that we have to leave our puppy alone. We can’t bring her with us unfortunately. We do have an idea though … We’re trying to reach one of our friends that lives in this condo hotel in the West end of town to see if he’ll doggy sit for us. He loves Labs and if he’s free it will be the perfect solution to our little problem.

If we can’t get our friend to doggy sit we’ll just go to the tournament in the late afternoon. As I said neither Chris nor I are that into golf. The main reason we want to go is for the concert. Even if we don’t go until the late afternoon I imagine our puppy will be alone for 6 or 7 hours. Since I’m home most of the time she’s never been alone even that long! This could be interesting.

Interesting resting place for this cat

What I’d really like to know is how on earth the cat got up there!

It’s resting on the mounted deer head and there doesn’t seem to be anything close by that the cat could have climbed to get up on top of the head.

So how did it get there? Did it climb ninja style along the ceiling beam?

What’s your thoughts?

Summer TV viewing

July 11, 2008 by Tricia

I’m really enjoying some of the new Summer TV shows.

Actually I’m glad there are a few new shows airing during the summer. When I was younger the networks never started new shows at the end of May, in June or July. All you could see was reruns and movies during the summer if you wanted to watch TV.

The shows that I’ve been watching have been SwingTown, Mad Men, The Border and In Plain Site. A new one just started tonight as well. I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s currently taping on my DVR. It’s called Flashpoint and seems to be about a Strategic Response Unit and hostage takings. It seemed like it would be a good show.

I like action type shows and murder mystery ones like the CSI’s. Maybe it’s all the evidence collection, DNA testing and the “who done it” that makes the stories so interesting.

Are you watching any of the new summer shows? Which ones?

Going to Toronto’s Outdoor Art Exhibition this weekend

July 10, 2008 by Tricia

My brother just sent me an email to tell my that his son, my nephew, was going to have a photographic exhibit at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition this weekend. I believe it starts tomorrow and runs through until Sunday.

Chris and I went last year after learning my nephew was having his first exhibit there and we were really enjoyed the exhibits. I really love pottery and sculptures so I took lots of pictures. Take a look at these glass fish that were at the show last year.

Of course I loved my nephews work too. He won awards and his artwork was published in a book last year. he’s a very good photographer.

We only purchased a small pottery vase at the show last year but now that I know what kinds of art work will be there we’ll probably buy a few more items this year. Certainly at a show like this with artists exhibiting items in the same field we’ll probably be able to get the best buy for our money.

Oh I can’t wait to see all the pottery, metal sculptures, wood carvings, paintings and well … just everything. It’s a fantastic art festival. If you are in the Toronto area you should go – it’s downtown at City Hall.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Wordless Wednesday

Looks like this bird might be practicing that old adage “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. The parrot certainly has a look in it’s eye as if it’s got an ulterior motive, doesn’t it?

Sure is a cute picture though!
