Just got home from an amazing 4 days in Toronto at the home of my gracious and hospitable brother. (and coming down off my Starbucks abuse of caffeine).
Hatchling brought her friend and they did what they do best - lots of shopping!! They also handed out mitts and hats to the homeless, those sitting on the cold concrete of downtown Toronto. They're making an Ark (acts of random kindness) video to document the experience...(perhaps hatchling will allow me to post it here to share with you guys?)
we walked past an "occupy" demonstration to save a park downtown,
and here's my hatchling, her friend and my bro being "political".
We went to a new MEGA-HUGE grocery store that used to be Maple Leaf Gardens.
We went to "center ice", which they kept marked
and took this artsy-cool shot to commemorate.
And it just wouldn't be my bro's if we didn't hang out around the piano singing
and him teaching the girls to play their favourite movie theme songs.
Got back just in time ...back to school TOMORROW!! Everybody ready? For me, it means a grocery haul and catch up on laundry day. It's been a warm and wonderful holiday season for us....hope yours was filled with much love and happiness.
☺Today's Instant Karma~ Do things that make you feel passionately alive!
peace out!

I see the happiness on faces of teenage girls. I see the happiness on brother's face. Handing out mittens, video ARK....awareness of others, helping others, others matter.
There are children from wealthy families, and children from financially challenged families, who are not aware of other's.
The hatchling was taught by her BOHO Mom. Good job.
Wishing 2012 to be a blowout of good things for you and your family!
((hugs)
What a wonderful trip! I hope she lets you post the video!
I remember the first time I walked (unbeknownst to me) in front of Maple Leaf Gardens and suddenly recognized it as the ICON it is! I was shocked that it was so small and that its front doors were right on the sidewalk. Next time I'm in TO, I must check it out in its new incarnation.
Everyone looks so happy! What an awesome thing to have your brother in Toronto. I bet hatchling always looks forward to the visits. He looks like a very cool brother. As for the groceries and the laundry...I feel your pain sister. I really do :)
So glad you all had a wonderful time.
Coffee is on.
