Royal Wedding

Funny, I am not a big fan of the British Royal family and yet I did enjoy catching a glimpse of the wedding. They seem a neat couple and for 1 day people were united around a happy event in this time where so much of the news is negative. I heard an interview where someone said that London was a big social event with people partying and dancing. What fun! And her new names are my first and middle name! Katherine Elisabeth.... :)

Holland America Line

I am in Holland to spend time with my sister. Things are well, and we decided to go to Rotterdam. The weather is stunning and so a little time outdoors is excellent!
We visited the original starting point of the Holland America line in the harbour. They have changed the building into a great restaurant and a beautiful hotel. Hotel New York. Isn't it amazing?

I Believe She's Amazing

For all amazing  women in my life!
 
A Flash Mob Dance  Video was organized by Kim MacGregor. Kim created this as a tribute to her  best friend Erika Heller who died of colon cancer last year at age 31. Each  and every telephone conversation they ever had, Erika would end by telling Kim  "You're an amazing woman"! Well, Kim wanted to do something special to honour  her friend and this is the result. It was filmed at the Toronto Eaton Centre  after only one 6 hour rehearsal.
 Kim's goal is to  reach 1,000,000 viewers - please help her reach her goal and pass this on to  all the amazing women in your life.
My sister is recovering from her surgery and is doing well!! She is an amazing woman
Enjoy!!!

Family Day

Family Day, a relatively new holiday. Initially I didn't think much of it, just another day off. But each year we have done a family type of thing and I have to say I actuallu enjoy it. Today we went with John's family to Congee Queen, a Chnese restaurant on Don Mills and Lawrence. Great food, great people and so a great time!!

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Every year in the winter, we have deer perusing our backyard (and eating my cedars!). They are amazing to watch. Yesterday we were in the hot tub and one stood watching us for 30 minutes. Maybe she liked my bathing suit :)
How lucky we are to be able to see this while living in a city!
