Stripes and Checks

And on a final note (re: CJ). She is even the fashion police when it comes to PJ's as well.
I really don't see the problem. Checks and Stripes. Who would see me anyway? Well a lot of people now I guess.





It is amazing she did not call these guys!

Day 2 - Bar 4


Do you think we are making Lori nervous that we are steering her youngster astray. Day 2 - Bar 4. Really very little drinking happening. Lovely walk on the shore of Lake Ontario. Shopping for healthy food. Waht trouble could we get into. Happy Birthday Fran. It was a great day.

What we have learned at the horse show so far!



Shelby: "The name of the lake is Lake Ontario." See it is an educational trip.



Shuttle Bus driver is the best free tour of Toronto. A wealth of information.


The famous gate leading into the Royal Winter Fair is actually the "Princes" gate (as in multiple male royals) not the "princess" gate that we all thought it was.


The oldest bar in Toronto was established in 1829 and is called "The Wheat and Sheaf".


And he was also an expert in hotels (did you know the Best Western does not own any of the hotels they are strickly a reservation center?) and had commentary on airlines. Porter Air is in - don't ask him about Air Canada.


We are sure to learn more from this wonderful entertaining fellow this next week.
Talent Squad finals on Friday and Saturday. This is the main ring where all the action takes place.
Ricoh Colesium. We head there early in the morning for a workout. It will be a reasonable 5am start tomorrow.








Little known facts about CJ.

Here is Caroline practising patience while we get Roo settled into his stall. We all know she is very talented in many ways. But danger lurks. We did not know. No one told us......Help!!

This is a warning to all around. Do not step into a revolving door with Mrs. Jones. Her inner devil comes out and she spins it as fast as she can - laughing as she skips away. I almost lost my CET Medal rider.
Then we learn there has been terriflying events as well on the Teacup Ride at Disneyland. Yes I phoned Angelica to confirm.
So for all of you who know the beautiful, talented, calm and generous Caroline - there maybe trouble ahead. A warning to all those in New York in December............Watch out!

Limo Time!



Here is proof that Shelby and I are responsible!!! She is doing homework on the plane!!!



Limo anyone. That's the way to travel girls..............

Toronto Here We Come!

It figures that the first snow storm of the year has to happen the morning we need to leave for Toronto. Long delays in rush hour along with massive amounts of blowing snow - but we all made it there. We definitely deserved our Starbucks this morning. And so did our courageous drivers, Bill and Angelica.

And we were not the only ones getting out of Dodge. We met up with Gail Greenough who was also on our flight. Anne and Mike Reid off to Kelowna (smart people). And my friend from Ottawa Victoria Andrew on her way to Saskatoon (not so smart).
