Halloween Treat !

Today is Halloween. So I decided to make a yummy treat

Blue Cheese Sliders !

Metropolitan Opera- Mozart-"Don Giovanni"

I went to see the Metropolitan Opera Mozart's "Don Giovanni" broadcast live in HD at the Cineplex theater in Etobicoke Ontario. It was a great performance !

I also saw "Anna Bolena" October 15.

The cinema HD presentations of live Opera, shows, & Ballet are a great opportunity to experience these performances in your own locality that most people would not be able to see.

Driving back to Toronto from Ogdensburg NY.

Driving back to Toronto from Ogdensburg NY.

I crossed the St, Lawrence river over the International bridge at Ogdensburg to Prescott Ontario. the weather had been overcast all weekend but the sun came out soon after i got on the 401 highway. I decided to take a detour to rt.2, The thousand Islands parkway. the side trip was worth the extra time. The road goes along the river and there are no (large) trucks allowed . the scenery is spectacular.

Mildred's Memorial

I traveled along the northern side of lake Ontario from Toronto to the international bridge to the USA at Ogdensburg NY. I went to attend a memorial service for my Sister-in-law's Mother Mildred. who passed away at he age of 104 years old. HerBrother, husband, sons and daughter, grandchildren,nephews. nieces aunts and uncles,and many friends from far and wide came. I was charged with the errand to pick up her good friend Ann and Husband Desi from the Massena airport . They arrived via a private jet. That was very impressive!

There was a very beautiful service at the Scotch Prebeterian Church, After they served a beautiful lunch. Many went back to her Brother's for a social afternoon and evening It was very much like a great family reunion.

We stayed at a rustic Motel in Waddington Ny with a view of the St.Lawrence river.

Private Lives

I am going to take the streetcar into downtown Toronto today it see "Private Lives by Noel Coward

with Kim Cattrall and Paul Gross. It is from London and on it's way to Broadway NYC.

I am sure I will enjoy it.

Update: Kim Cattrall was wonderful in this show about two newlywed couples on their honeymoons encountering ex spouses at a casino hotel. Kim's Character , Amanda sees her ex husband ,Eloyt (Paul Gross) on the adjoining balcony after arguing with their new spouses who both left in a huff. They talk about their new lives and discover that they still have deep feelings for each other. What happens next is a total hilarious riot.!

I discovered by chance watching "Star Trek the Undiscovered Country" that a Vulcan crewman is played by a very young Kim Cattrell.!
