And the magic word is.........TORONTO!!

Why you may ask, or you may not but I'm telling you anyway! Toronto is the home of the NHL Hall of Fame, Yippeee! And where the rest of my family wants to spend summer vacation next year. I say "the rest of the family" because, while I love hockey, I'm more of a "in the moment" kind of fan and don't have a burning desire to see the past. But if that's what they want.....

Then they can go, while I spend my summer, hopefully (fingers crossed) catching a lot of DL concerts!! It makes for a lovely little compromise, don'tcha think?!?!

But alas, AirCanada tickets and such are not cheap and we've got to start saving. Hence the magic word, TORONTO!! Anytime the kids pop up and want something right now, something they have to have or they'll die (this week, next week whatever is broken and buried in their room) I just say TORONTO..... and poof! Suddenly they don't need it so much. "Mom, we have to have new backpacks!" The one's from last year are fine..."No, we neeeeed new ones!".....TORONTO! "Nevermind, we'll use the old ones!" and so on.... LOVE IT!!!! With any luck I'll be milking this all year, hehe!

Patty - no time to email ya, but I did send out a bunch of "feelers" last night trying to get someplace that would be interested in Oct. ..... we'll see! If not, Billie and I are thinking of taking a "field trip" and checking out some of these places...they do look interesting! lol

Ok, I'm sreamin' busy! Gotta go. Talk to ya later!
