Today I rode in the Tour de Mississauga for the third year in a row. Two years ago I rode the 60km route with Patti.

This year PattiContinue reading “Tour De Mississauga 2015 (#tourdemississauga)”

It was the first time we have been to the Christmas market. When we arrived about 5:45 there were very few people around. WeContinue reading “Brampton’s Christmas Market”
Why I Decided to Start Blogging
One word: forgetfulness. Yesterday, just before I started writing my blog for the day I thought, ” I must remember to write about winning the Let Your Green Show contest”. Then I began writing about my day beginning with the morning. I progressed through the day, proofed what I had written and then published. MomentsContinue reading “Why I Decided to Start Blogging”
