Yorkville activity....and you thought Ashley was only about fine china!

The car is even sitting on the tea cups! 

This is worth the trip if you like Ashley's and car racing too.  Very cool!

Photo with Norman Jewison and my son.James Scott

This is the photo I promised yesterday. 

In the photo I have just been presented with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal and have my arms around both Mr Norman Jewison and my son James. 

Nice!

Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal

I have some fresh memories this morning to store in Jalen and Lexi's time capsule. 

James came to Roy Thompson Hall with me last evening where I, along with 599 others (!) received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. There were some official photos taken so I hope to have those to share with you eventually.

Distinguished presenters were selected to present the medals.  We were broken up into groups of about 35 and I was fortunate to receive my medal from non other than Norman Jewison.  That in itself was an honour.

We were entertained by Susan Aglukark, Molly Johnson, Ben Heppner, Stuart McLean and Gordon Lightfoot.  Peter Mansbridge was the Master of Ceremonies - he is very funny and did an excellent job.  Clearly there are many sides to Peter.

It was a wonderful evening and an event I was proud to be part of.

Have a great Tuesday my friends.

Me and my shoes!

I couldn't resist sharing this cartoon with you. 

These women are looking at each other and wondering, "How does she walk in those things." As you can see, their shoes are very very different.  So funny don't you think?

Hope it makes you smile as you begin your week.

Now, what shoes will I wear this evening?

Here comes another week

There are times when everything seems to be an uphill climb.  If today is one of those days for you - reach as high as you can (as Lexi did here at the park) and you will find something to hang on to.

Have a gentle Monday.

Love

Happy Father's Day to all Dads I know

Happy Father's day to my son James, to you if you are a dad and to all the dads I know.  Today is a special day for families.

From the Heart ...

I saw this on facebook today and wanted to share it with you here.  Even if you have seen it once I think the warmth makes it worth a second look.

I have a busy next few days so may not share with you again until Sunday.

Until then ...

Love

Carol Ann
