Did I wake up this morning in an alternate universe?

It defies logic…but this morning I woke up in Leaf nation. You heard me right. I join my ex neighbour, an otherwise great guy with the exception of the Mats Sundin jersey he has hanging from his rearview mirror. Like James Reimer’s Mom, with the Leafs leading with a score of  2-1 in the third period, I had to walk away with eight minutes left to play. I did watch the last three minutes.

What is it about this series that has captured my imagination? Is it that I’m always a sucker for the underdog? Is it Canadian patriotism?

Or is it because we identify with the Leaf’s struggle to come from behind, and confirmation that when we believe in something heart and soul we can overcome anything and move mountains? Is that what has me rooting for the Leafs? I’ll be watching game 7 tonight…hoping the Leafs emerge victorious!!

After enduring what seemed to be an almost endless Winter, in some parts of the country, Canadians celebrated by flocking to patios across the country. Without exception, everyone is enjoying balmy Spring temperatures.

On Sunday, my daughter A enjoyed her first patio visit after participating in the annual clean up along the Bow River in Calgary. ### Congratulations on a job well done to all of the participants.

Nothing can compare to food, drink and pleasant company, enjoyed in brilliant sunshine or under the stars. My most memorable dining experience was in a courtyard…under a starlit sky. Cheers!

roxy 300 300I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to don a pair of flip flops. After receiving twenty centimetres of snow, I went from winter boots to flip flops in less than a week.

Now that Spring is finally here(fingers crossed), I hit the internet looking for a few new pairs.

While Old Navy offers a somewhat varied selection, I came across the  www.roxy.com website. Offering an amazing variety of styles, prints and colors, Roxy ships orders to Canada free via Purolator ground. Expect to pay applicable taxes and 18% duty on any products not covered under NAFTA.

Flip flop wardrobe selected…time to book a pedicure!
