At the Unionville Festival yesterday morning I was browsing at the pesticide booth and it cleared up an issue for me. It seems Markham is already under the pesticide by-law since January 2008, but the rest of Ontario won't be until January 2009. So you can still buy pesticide in the stores because it's not illegal in Ontario as a whole, but you shouldn't.
I also learned at this booth that was selling their own honey that you should never microwave your honey as it kills all the natural goodness. It's best to just warm it in a bowl of warm water.
I made it to church today. They are starting up the process for confirmation for the kids who will be in Grade 8 in the fall. I have to pick up a letter for K and decide if we will go through with it. L cannot believe how short this year's French Open final was this year. Nadal won too easily against Federer. Pity the people who paid all that money for front row seats.
We had a couple of friends over for a barbecue yesterday. We decided to eat inside due to the heat and the bugs, although we did sit outside for a short while. Their kids are older than ours and into relationships with the opposite sex. Parents are never free of worry, it's just another stage. Chances are, if you have reservations about your kids' chosen partner, that's probably the one he's going to marry! At the moment I just need to get my son to reach high school!
