HAPPY CANADA DAY

Julia (a friend of Marie's visiting for a couple of days), Marie & Linda.

Funny how the girls always end up in the kitchen and the guys out in the balcony by the BBQ.....

Mr. BBQ in action.

M, V and Brett on the balcony. Brett and V is giving eachother a High Five!

Last Sunday, July 1, it was Canada Day, which is to compare with Swedish National Day or 4th of July. Brett and Linda had invited us over to their place for some BBQ and later on watching the fireworks at Ontario Place from their balcony. A very nice evening which went on til very late. Came home close to 2.30 am! We got started playing our music favouties at YouTube - amazing what you actually can find there.

Tip of the day; if you have not seen the movie Music & Lyrics and Hugh Grant as an 80's Ex-popstar, check out "POP goes my heart". It's on YouTube....

LITTLE MISS JAPANESE

Ordered Japanese Take out from our neighbourhood favourite, SONO, the other day and V is handling the sticks just fine. Well, it takes some practice to be able to eat with them, and one might as well start early.

GARY & DEBBIE VISITING

Börje Salming, the only Swede that has made it into the Hockey Hall of Fame so far....

M & V in front of the CN Tower.

During the past weekend we have had our friends Gary & Debbie here visiting. Gary was here only a week and a half ago, but apparently he just can't get enough of Canada:-). They came late Friday night, and on Saturday we did some sightseeing incl. The Beaches and CN Tower. On Sunday we had Brunch downtown before heading to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

BARNSÅNGEN @ RIVERDALE FARM

And another Bääää....at least if you listen to V:-)

A real life Bäääää

V in the front and back on the bench, resting while their kids go wild among the animals, are from left: Christel, Cia, Lena's oldest daughter (who I don't remember the name of.... shame on me) and Lena, who hosted the fika afterwards in their lovely house in Cabbagetown.

Since Barnsången officially ended on June 14, some of the moms generously offered that we all meet at their home instead, and last Thursday we all headed out for Riverdale Farm with following fika at Lena's house.

Riverdale Farm is a beautiful farm downtown Toronto in a park like surrounding. There you'll find pigs, horses, cows, sheeps, rabbits, ginuea pigs, chickens etc etc. Very fun place to take the children to, and it's for free!

With only one more week to go here in Toronto before moving back home to Sweden, there's tons of stuff to take care of. One thing is to sell off some furnitures, and fortunately it seems like our landlord might be interested....Sooooo as I, for some reason, kept getting delivery failures of the pictures via e-mail, I decided to post the stuff for sale on my blog and give Joe the link so he can view it online instead.

So unless, you're in the market for some furnitures I suggest you skip this part:-)

VINE & DINE SAAB EVENT

The end of the about 1,5 km long trail where we ate and drank us more than full..... Saabs, Wine and Food - 3 good things in life:-)

M and V taking a break along the trail.

Every year two Saab Dealers in the Niagara-region sponsor this fine event at Vineland Winery. Restaurants and other Winerys in the region attend and present their merchandises. Very good food, lots of wines (all kinds) and really nice weather made this an amazing event!
