25-30 Sept 2015 - Toronto

Friday - a relaxing morning and afternoon.  A little shopping with friends, then an evening out with Colin  (retired BMO friend) and Cheryl, and Chris and Julie at our favourite Greek restaurant on Bloor - Just Greek (Royal York subway area).

Saturday - a TFC game with Chris (see pic), along

with his friend Keith and Keith's dad - Paul.  TFC 3-2 win over Chicago Fire - not a clean win, but a win nevertheless.  Beautiful sunny day with moderate temperature.  Dinner with Keith's family and parents at DRIFT (on Bloor, east of Dufferin) with all.

Sunday - an opportunity to take Chris for a ride in the roadster and see some GTHL hockey, with Chris doing some 'Lining' and 'Reffing'.  Good hockey; clearly saw some of the newer Hockey Canada rules in place, especially as regards any hits to the head - no matter how minor it is a 2 minute penalty - good for the sport and more importantly for those people who will continue to play hockey for a few years. While I was at hockey, Julie treated Susan to a  'SPA' morning which she greatly enjoyed.  Dinner was with our long standing friends Karen and John - a great chance to catch up with each other and update on the happenings of the respective family members.

Monday - Lunch at the PILOT in Toronto with work colleagues Carol and Richard. Always great to catch up with wonderful colleagues and friends. Hope to see them again Friday at the BMO Toronto Pensioner Luncheon.  Dinner with Chris and Julie at a Mexican restaurant (Cantina on Dundas).

Tuesday - A chance to drop by Chris' school and see the new classroom that he is in for the year.  Met his grades 4/5 class, the Principal, Secretary and another 4/5 teacher.  A quick lunch near the school for the three of us.  Tonight we webt with Chris and Julie to catch up with Mercedes / Ian (both friends of Chris) and their 3 kids; went out to Margarrita Pizza on Queen St. which turned out to be excellent.

Wednesday - we headed north to Ballentrae for 1 night together with Friends Debbie and Trevor who hosted a dinner inviting Susan's cousin Marilyn and friends Bill and Carol. Great evening.
