Norma Walton, Snow Beautifies Toronto


This was the view out my back window earlier this week.

My four children immediately ran for boots, snow pants, gloves, hats, scarves and shovels and did an excellent job of clearing the cars and the driveway while playing in it.  Hopefully their enthusiasm will last through February.

Although my enthusiasm for winter is already waning before it has even officially begun, I have to admit that the snow cover is absolutely spectacularly beautiful and very good for the soul.

Norma Walton, SkyZone a great investment!



On Tuesday night, we bounced.
Some Skyzone vouchers came in handy. My youngest son showed me how he bounces from trampoline to trampoline then onto the wall trampoline then down again, without ever landing on the same trampoline twice. He asked me to try. Of course I could not do it, and watching me not be able to do it caused him no end of mirth. After almost an hour of practice, I finally nailed twelve trampolines in a row just as we were leaving but could not for the life of me incorporate the wall trampoline without hurting myself.
The fact that Jaromir Jagr is almost 45 years old and still playing in the NHL staggers me because I have been feeling the effects of bouncing ever since Tuesday.
