Reminder: I am not on my social media websites for the month of July! Why? Find out here. In the meantime, check out my new "Contact Me" tab if you'd like to get a hold of me pre-August!
Ah, summer-time long weekends. A chance to get away from the city, breathe clean air, and unwind with the warm breeze, backyard BBQs, and family.
This past Friday, after an extraordinarily busy week at work, I welcomed my 2 hour bus ride that would whisk me off from Toronto to London, the nearest transit terminal to my hometown in South Western Ontario. With backpack, snacks, and book in hand, I travelled the long stretch of highway 401 with the anticipation of a child, eager to settle in for some real, sweet, chill-time.
Us Pearson's have many a tradition when it comes to Canada Day celebrations, and it was bitter sweet to replay many of them this year with the entire family...minus one.
Here, a glimpse into the goings on...(taken with my Android phone; apologies for the lack-luster image quality!)
And one more - me at the park in my patriotic colours. Thanks to big sis S for instagram-ming!

Shady fun away from the sun...
Scenes from my morning run - very different from the views and routes I get in Toronto! That pretty home there, is my old farmhouse...the place I grew up. Six and a half acres in the country, and I even got to see my old horse Kokomo grazing in the hayfield! (We sold him with the land when mom & dad moved into town)
More amazing sights discovered on my 5K dash - flowers, fields, and fresh country air!
All decked out in red! My brother-in-law, niece and nephews all ready for the firemens' pancake breakfast!
Mom, myself & sister B. Post-bite, it was outside to explore the antique car displays. Dad used to LOVE this annual event!
Balloon swords & glow necklaces - does it get ANY better?
And one more - me at the park in my patriotic colours. Thanks to big sis S for instagram-ming!
Great pics, sis. Great memories, too. Glad you came!!
