Recently I tagged along with some friends as they ventured down to Toronto's Centre Island, for the Hope Volleyball Tournament. It was a fun day of volley ball and meeting and talking to lots of different people...and some dogs too!

Global News was a large contributor to the Tournament and as a result, Anthony Farnell, the resident meteorologist, was on hand along with other Global employees, to compete in the tournament. Mark Heese, the olympic volleyball star, made and appearance and along with one of the Global employees, played Anthony and the rest of the Global team. It was a real treat to see a pro in action.

I enjoyed being a spectator of the days events, taking pictures and enjoying the weather. I have created a video of what is mostly my friends team, but you will see a few shots of others as well. Hope you enjoy!

Wow it has been some time since I updated my blog and I feel it is time to get on it and keep it up to date on a more frequent basis.
Well the warm weather has finally arrived and it is wonderful to finally want to be out and enjoy all that the warm weather brings. This past weekend I had my kids out to the Whitevale Festival, in the hamlet of Whitevale just north of Pickering, ON. It was not a huge festival but the whole hamlet was involved. Many yard sales, placards of historical information through out the main road, live music, mini car show, fire truck for the kiddies to explore, lots of animals to hold and pet. It was a wonderful time and made for an enjoyable Saturday afternoon.
During these tough economic times, it was a perfect escape for a single mom on a tight budget!
