Finally Made It

We finally made it to the Ripley's Aquarium in downtown Toronto. It was worth the visit! We waited about an hour in line for tickets, arriving around noon that weekday.  There were a lot of families and school bus tours.  It would be a good idea to go there around 7pm.  There is a $5 discount after that time and they close around 11pm, although you want to check the hours that day before you go.

And Martha said it's even easier if you buy online tickets.  You can choose a time, and bypass the line that way.

Here are a few photos I took for you:

Email Receipts

Here is a typical fall scene around here at this time of year, the leaves will be picked up for composting.

The beautiful new Ripley's Aquarium of Canada opened  yesterday in Toronto at the base of the CN Tower.

I've noticed some stores lately asking me if I would like my receipt emailed to me. It was a bit confusing, but what they are trying to do is eliminate paper waste. You can get a paper receipt if you want and have it emailed to you as well. It's something to think about. I certainly have a problem with too many paper receipts over the years.

Here is a cute story I read in the newspaper the other day.   It's entitled:
A search for a ‘co-parent’ has ended in love.
