We've been eating out every day of the New Year for some reason.
Last night, L and K went to a Raptor's basketball game. They won, after a long losing streak. M and I decided to walk around the Eaton Centre meanwhile. We walked through the underground concourse and stopped at a restaurant for dinner, on our way to the massive downtown shopping mall. It's a long walk underground, 3 city blocks? And we didn't take the subway back to the Air Canada Centre where the basketball games are held. K ran into his gym teacher and M ran into a co-worker (small world).
L taught her first swim lessons today and it's not as daunting as we first thought it would be. But next week may be busier as everyone returns from vacation.
Today, M and I attended the funeral of my friend's mom who passed away from cancer in her early 70's. She leaves behind her husband, 3 children, and 7 grandchildren. She spent the last 10 years of her life in retirement, and helping to raise her grandchildren. It was evident in today's ceremony how close she was to her grandchildren. The eldest (now in university) read a touching passage about her grandmother's life. The family held a reception at a restaurant after the burial.
Other friends have now returned safely from their vacations and a lot of people seem to be sick with colds. I think I'll start packing the decorations away tonight.
