Rainy day blues

It's sunday the 15 th of May and it is raining. The Humber river is swollen and muddy as it pours into the Humber bay of Lake Ontario. The Muddy water is making a fan like shape in the bay against the cleaner waters of the lake. It is quite striking the brown flowing into the blue.
We went to Canadiana for lunch I had a cheese omlette it was good. there was a group or young guys in their 20s talking very loudly about comic book heros but the quieted down when the food came.

I saw the play The Railway Children last night in the theater built for it at the base of the CN Tower. It was a unique theatrical experience. It was the theater and set design that was the most amazing

A railway station was the stage and the tracks ran the length of the stage ,which were the platforms on each side .The audience were on either sides of the platforms.

A full size antique steam engine makes a dramatic appearance at the end of each act. Lots of steam billows during the production creating a realistic atmosphere. The story and the actors were good but the train was the star !

Some sad news for me.

We went to Dundas Grill a few weeks ago for dinner. I was expecting to see Michelle our waitress from Canadiana and Lucky Dice. When I asked the manager if she was working this evening he said" She is no longer with us" so I thought she quit or got fired but then he told me that she died. It still makes me feel so sad.We have known her for a long time at least 5 years.
She had surgery a few months ago and then was back at work but her face looked drawn and tired but she had a great smile and always called me "sweety"
it just goes to show you that you just can't take people for granted and on Mothers Day I am sure her children miss her very much

Easter and Amberlynn,s Birthday

It is Saturday ,Nov 20th. will be going to lunch soon. I almost forgot about this blog .

I will never be able to catch up on it.but here goes......

Canada is good to me and summer was wonderful this year.

My daughter Erika moved back to the Rochester-Canandaigua area this year and decided to get married to Thomas Carpenter in St Augustine Florida and I decided to attend. I drove to Chapel hill NC to get my son Ryan and take him with me to Erika's wedding but Ryan got a job interview that day -got hired and had to start work the next day. It was a great opportunity for him so he had to miss the wedding.

The next day I drove to St Augustine and attended the wedding that was an informal ceremony on the beach attended by a select group of friends and relatives.

I lost 4 pounds on my diet this week!

I am going to see "Fiddler on the Roof" tonight at the Canon theater in Toronto. It was formerly the Pantages Theater but Canon paid for the name change. That seems to be the fad now for corporations to give big money to change the name of venues. They almost did that to the Royal York Hotel. It was to become the Fairmont and they were going to remove the landmark sign on the building but there was a big stink and they settled for inserting Fairmont over the Royal York sign.
