In early October 2007 Megan asked me if we could climb the CN Tower. I didn’t know, but told her I would look into it. I found out that The Toronto United Way holds a climb for fundraising every October. Alun expressed an interest in going, too. I researched how many stairs had to beContinue reading “Saturday October 18 – Climbing the CN Tower”

Wednesday September 10 – Carpool to the Climb
Tonight Trystan, Owen and I picked up my nephews, Jason and Ryan, and we had our third stair climbing training session at the hospital. Before we got out of the car I took an usie (group selfie) to submit to this month’s Let Your Green Show contest for the carpool action. Jason climbed up andContinue reading “Wednesday September 10 – Carpool to the Climb”
Wednesday September 3 – School, Power Outage and Climbing
The day started with wet feet again as we walked on the grass to get around the construction at the school. Once again there were no construction workers in sight. To keep the children safe from moving construction vehicles long parallel fences were set up from the road to the back of the school whereContinue reading “Wednesday September 3 – School, Power Outage and Climbing”
Tuesday September 2 – First Day of School
Trystan and Owen started back to school today. Alun just had to go in to have his picture taken and to pick up his timetable. Megan did that last week. It was back to elementary school for Trystan.

Saturday August 23 – Nostalgic Play Day
Today we didn’t plan an outing. Michael and I cooked a big breakfast of waffles, sausages, bacon and eggs. Our friend’s children always ask for it when they visit us. It has become a tradition. By the time breakfast was prepared, consumed and cleaned up most of the morning had passed. Instead of heading outContinue reading “Saturday August 23 – Nostalgic Play Day”
Chinguacousy Park
This morning I rode my road bike to physiotherapy for my wrist. The round trip which normally takes just over an hour took 43 minutes. I love how much faster I can get around on my new bike. What I don’t love is the learning process for riding with clipped in shoes. I had myContinue reading “Chinguacousy Park”
Great Summer Day
My friend Victoria and her children from St. Thomas are visiting us this week. One of the activities we always do when they visit is go for a bike ride. Here we are about to head out. It always surprises me how long it takes us to get going. Sunscreen needs to be applied. ShoesContinue reading “Great Summer Day”
Day Out At Wild Water Kingdom
Today Trystan and his friends Edmund and Zack, Owen and I went to Wild Water Kingdom for the day. It was the warmest day we have had lately, although I wouldn’t call it hot. The kids were fine, but I wore my short wetsuit to keep me warm in the breeze when I was wet. Continue reading “Day Out At Wild Water Kingdom”
