πŸŽƒ Top 10 Things to do for Halloween πŸ‘»

Issue #90 Good Evening And what can I tell you? I was strolling through downtown Oakville last week and stopped by Piazza Bistro.

Mimi and Chef Zach at PIazza Bistro See my article and delicious photos of Piazza Bistro's New Menu Delights; you won't believe what they are up to now! πŸ—ž What's Good (and Coincidentally In This Newsletter)...

At Pumpkins After Dark

Issue #89 Good Evening And what can I tell you? Thanksgiving is over, university kids are back to school, and now you're wondering - do I dress up for Halloween this year? And just for fun I looked up what's going to be popular this year and you guessed it ... Barbie and Ken! Before I begin with what's coming up, I wanted to follow up on Pumpkins After Dark. I got a chance to go and see it. It was amazing! As soon as we got out of the car in the dark parking lot, we could hear spooky cackling...

It's a Great Day for Hiking

Issue #88 Good Evening And what can I tell you? Thanksgiving is coming up and you can tell by all the turkeys at the grocery stores. By that I'm referring to us folks gliding through the isles with a full cart of food that's going to cost a fortune! But while we are talking turkey, check out this song from Adam Sandler. "I love Turkey". Are you old enough to remember this when it aired? 🀣🀣🀣 πŸ—ž What's Good (and Coincidentally In This Newsletter) 🍁 All You Need For Fall πŸšΆβ™€οΈ Joahua's Creek Trail...

Julie (Going-Places) at Pumpkins After Dark

Issue #87 Hello Going-Places Gallivanters! Almost October, and I'm in the apple pie and pumpkin spice latte kind of spirit. Speaking of which, have you seen this hilarious Ryan Reynolds ad? 🀣🀣🀣 In the fall, I'm bracing for winter. I like putting on my homemade oversized sweaters or ponchos and checking out the bright and colourful leaves before they drop and then all the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray ... 🎡. (Mamas and Papas refererence) And what can I tell you? Thanksgiving is around...

We all know the expression "Laughter is the best medicine", well, how about a little self-care and a crazy fun time? It's happening on Wednesday, September 27th at 6:30. I'll have more on that next week, but if you're ready to sign up now, it's on...

Two Ladies at Patisserie D'Or

Issue #84 Good Evening! Anyone else loving this balmy weather? As a sports mom, I spent many summer evenings and weekends on a lawn chair in the hot sun. I'd have a warmish bottle of water in one hand and a strong coffee in the other. Ahhhh, luxury! But alas, we move past summer holidays and camps to busy September. First tip: prepare for some early mornings because the school buses are on the road, and it's going to take you much longer to get where you're going! And that's why I dedicate...

Time to get in the car and explore the trails, parks and beaches. And speaking of getting in the car, wow the gas prices! "I've just realized that the paper towels at the side of the gas pump are there so you can wipe your tears after you fill your tank....😭" (Thanks to Ayub for this one! ) πŸ—ž...
