Royal Wedding Mania

by

I’m glad that Will and Kate’s wedding day is almost here. Being Canadian, I’ve been hearing about their “prospective wedding” since at least last summer. Yes .. I know .. they didn’t get engaged until November, but you know .. in the Commonweath Countries I’m sure everyone was buzzing and speculating as to when, not if, they were going to get married and it just got worse and worse as time went on.

Once the couple got engaged I started hearing about Will and Kate just about every day. So … you can see, I’m pretty much ready to stop hearing about their wedding … but I’m sure it will still be months before we only hear about them every once in a while again.

I guess you can tell that part of me wants to just hide under a rock with all of this Royal wedding stuff .. but part of me also wants to go out and buy silver coins you know, the commemorative ones with Will and Kates profiles on them.

Are you going to watch the Royal wedding on Friday?

Spring is here and it’s time to pull out the bikes

by

I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Well … if the weather holds and it doesn’t end up raining too much that is. You see, it’s spring and things are greening; up and growing and it’s supposed to be warm … the warmest day of the year so far if everything turns out the way the weatherman said it would.

Since it’s supposed to rain we probably won’t end up doing this, but sometime soon I think it would be great to get our bikes out, attach the hitch bike rack to the car and drive to one of the great bike trail areas of the city and go for a big bike ride. Obviously since it’s Spring I haven’t done that for quite a while but it would be nice to do, especially at this time of year when everything is just starting to green up and begin to bloom.

Toronto has some wonderful, long, bike trails. A few of them are close to where we live, and they go quite a distance through the city. As I said, I have to pull out the bike and start using them again. Apparently one of the tails near us can take us all the way to the west end of the city.

Fruit desserts

by

Over the last few months my husband and I have tried our best to have a piece of fruit for dessert most evenings.

Lately we’ve lucked out and we’ve managed to come across some great sales on strawberries so cut up fresh strawberries has been our main dessert over the last month.

Now I’ve just been visiting a site located at www.berries.com that sells all kinds of berry desserts like chocolate covered strawberries. I know …. maybe not quite as healthy as the desserts that we’ve been having, but if we wanted to change things up a bit and have a bit more decadent dessert this would be the place to get it, I think. There selection looks delicious.

Do you like chocolate covered berries or fruit for dessert? What’s your favorite kind of fruit?
