Montreal

I have some major catching up to do here on the blog.  Things have been m-m-m-manic! I have just uploaded heaps of pics from the past couple months.  Finally delivered the last of the pieces from my side project and I declare that regular life is to resume immediately! I have some new work rolling out soon and will share that here in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I have a lot of blogging to do!

These are some highlights from our trip to Montreal.  Funny to look at these pictures... almost a month has passed during which time I have been completely absorbed in work.  The trip is all a fog in my mind and has almost been wiped from my memory.  Thank goodness for pictures.  

Oh Canada!

To the Canadians reading this, I hope you enjoyed Canada Day!  I was in Montreal and have yet to load my photos, but will share some at a later time.  As today is the holiday and I am enjoying the long part of the long weekend, I thought I'd check out some Canadian themed finds, starting with a MoonRox piece, of course.  Yes, this list is Toronto heavy, but I am a Toronto gal!

Happy Canada Day!

Wishing everyone a Happy Canada Day!

Not sure if I'll get up to much. I have been under the weather all week. I might just stay in and continue the cleaning and organizing frenzy that I am halfway through. Hope you enjoy the day!

Canada Day outing

Wandered over to City Hall to check out the Jazz Festival. Found a perfect perch in the foliage with an unobstructed view of the stage and a tree trunk to lean on. There were lots of people sporting Canada themed wear which I was for some reason a bit surprised about. Glad to see the patriotic spirit!

Elicser at work at the side of the stage.

Now here is a bit of randomness... my parents recently went on a cruise. I had mentioned that I would try to no longer buy anything when traveling, just an interesting shot glass from every place. So they came home with these! I'll add them to my collection. I don't even actually use them! Maybe once in a while to measure out a shot for a cocktail... but I've got a good few now!
Also, Aunt L. picked up a copy of the commemorative edition of Time Magazine honouring Michael Jackson for me. The story after his passing seems to get more complicated every day. No matter what you think of him, the man always kept things interesting -- in life and in death! I'll have to have a flip through tonight.
