Hot September!

Indian Summer, that is what we call this September in Toronto 09! I think I have been saved by the sweat Gods, I don’t have to venture on a subway or bus with the public…in warm heat like this it could be alarming! A six minute walk all by myself to my sweet little condo from work’s door to  my door! How pleasant is that. Although I look forward to the fall days, I can’t wait to wear my new Joe Fresh Fall coat…it is so beautiful and cool looking.  Just a quick note, I sang at Ms. Leah’s tenth anniversary at MCC Church last Sunday and it was wonderful. About thirty-five great voices singing their little hearts away and sounding just great. Good on Ms. Leah, she deserved it and is probably one of the greats around town playing that piano. I have joined two choirs, on on Monday night, a community choir just three blocks away from me and of course the MCC church choir. So I really am getting my soprano voice back, believe or not. Little do they know who I use to be! ha!

Three weeks into the school season and things seem to have quieted down a bit. Still seeing many students pass through the doors always needing to talk about their courses etc., but I am their to help them and service all their professors too. I truly look foward to my weekends. This is going to be a busy year where I work and I hope to get through it all. Let’s just hope the weather stays warm a little longer, although not this warm and our winter is not too harsh. I look foward to a new year!

Frosh Fall! I see Students!

My first September here at Ryerson! I can’t believe the amount of noise that these 1st year students have made since they have arrived here on Monday of this month. In some ways it is exciting, but when you are trying to walk the quad it is very hard to get around the little darlings as they walk by you in painted purple faces, every t-shirt colour under the sun and funny hats to complete their outfits! I was never part of that life. I was working and singing my way through Toronto and Ontario and the USA. If they only knew that a “do you know who I use to be” is sitting at their administration office they would all fall to their knees! Well bend a little anyway! On another note, I went to the cottage in Haliburton to visit the Heenman and took along Ms. A with me. I wanted her to see where I have spent my one week in August for the past twenty-five years! She loved it and for me it was closure with Haliburton and the healing lake that I so very much love swimming in. It was rainy and cold and and we got glimpses of blue sky once in a while. We still managed to bbq and enjoy a small sunset. My sista Ms. A drove me through great little roads to get back to her home. We even found a road with houses that had stone walls around their property and it felt like we were in an English farm area! Next time I am up there I will take my camera and capture that beautiful wall of stone. The next couple of weeks probably will be quite hectic around the school, but I am looking forward to the calm come October. I love the Fall and I am already for it with a new coat from Joe Fresh! I will be adding a few pictures soon, so I can look back and remember what the lake and the cottage felt like!

Ahh Canada, my true north strong and free!
