- Niagara falls two times:  once in July for the camping trip (Knight’s Beach in Dunville), once for the birthday trip to the Casino  (Oakes Inn with dinner at Canyon Creek - best steak ever?)

- 12 straight wins in baseball clinches top spot in the league.

- mid 70’s on the golf course, perhaps best season in a long time

- trip to cottage near Bobcaygeon with Tara and gang.  Led Zeppelin on the mp3 player

- vegetable garden looked rough in the beginning but late season rain saves the day.  Large quantities of Roma and garden tomatoes (including a gourmet Rutger’s bush), massive peppers (a 1st) and quantities of onions and jalapenos.

- swimming lessons, trips to the park, exploring the playgrounds.

- several Jays games with and without OG.

- a summer where OG enjoyed the backyard with the new slide, sandbox, bubbles, etc.  A mindboggling development of mental and physical skills.  Things are moving faster than I can absorb.  I wish we could slow down time….she’s already 2 and a month!

- Mom in Freeport recovering from GBS (Guillian Barre Syndrome).  What a difficult yet optimistic time that has been.  I’ve enjoyed the extra times spent with family I must admit.  Too bad it was for such a circumstance.

Things to look forward to:

- Joey’s wedding

- cottage time in Wiarton

- a new occupation?……
