Lazy Days

Toronto is freezing in the dark - literally!  Devastating ice storm, 250,000 homes without power - all the weekend before Christmas - sounds really Grinchy to me.

So I hate to rub it in but ...

Yesterday (Sunday) was the most glorious day since we arrived.  You could tell the air was different first thing in the morning - the sky was clearer - it was warmer - there was a breeze from the ocean. The first full day of WINTER!! What better thing to do to celebrate the start of winter than a day at the beach.

10 am arrival and there were already 20 friends and neighbours there and more arrived later.  Quite the gathering of bright umbrellas and coolers, colourful clothing  boisterous conversation, beer and nachos

Just another day at the beach

 Sorry - one last dig!
