Weekend in Stratford Part II

Sunday morning coffee was great and soooo relaxing in the back yard of where we were staying. These are just a few pictures I took, but a friend took a lot of me wandering around in my pj's so I thought I would spare you all ;) The bear is Bud the Bear and he was born in Stratford a few years ago and always comes back to visit:)

Weekend in Stratford Part I

Fabulous old buildings and a beautiful riverside began our weekend away!

Quirky road signs...

Now I have seen all sorts of animal signs before but never one that outlined all of them at once.




















I know that this sign is for the winter so that snow plows don't hit the hydrant - but it does look a little odd in the middle of the summer:)

Clouds

Like a cloud it comes down
Covering
Obscuring my view
Complicating everything that I think
Confusing every move I debate
How is it that I never see?
I never notice
The waste of my feelings
The waste of my love
The waste of my time

Celebrations from yesterday...

It's hard to not get caught up in the moment when people are so excited. I'll never forget one older gentleman saying to a few of the younger fans to enjoy it while they can because this won't happen again for another 20 years. Here's hoping they don't have to wait quite that long:)

Abbreviated version...

Busy, but fantastically relaxing weekend was had. Dinners, brunch, shopping, a manicure and pedicure, and two beautiful walks – one in High Park and one along the lakeshore.

Couldn’t have really asked for more. Well I could…but for now I know I should be happy with this.

High Park

The lakeshore...

Keane - Hamburg Song

I love when I find songs that hit so close to home. Someone so far away from me seems to feel the same way. They put into words how I feel. I love it!

I don't wanna be adored
Don't wanna be first in line
Or make myself heard
I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life
To make you feel loved

No, don't wanna be the only one you know
I wanna be the place you call home

I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
I give much more
Than I'd ever ask for

Will you see me in the end
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little light
Shine a light on my life
Warm me up again

Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple

I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for

Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way

To lay yourself down
And make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for
