Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
Joanna bought me 2 tickets to see Stevie Nicks at Casino Rama for my birthday. This is for both of us. She was, is, and will always be great. Enjoy!
Neil Young - Old Man - Live at Massey Hall
This is one of our favourite songs. This was done when the song was new. If you haven't bought the CD, Neil Young Live At Massey Hall, then do youself a favour and get it. It'll take you back.
GCDC Plays at the Oakville Waterfront Festival
Our favourite band GCDC played at the Oakville Waterfront Festival on Sunday June 24th 2007. As usual they did a great job. They added Dave Toms on drums for this show and he was fantastic. Maybe they'll keep him on as a regular band member. John Marlatt has left the band as his place, The Moonshine Cafe, has taken off and his time now is taken up. GCDC plays there all the time so I'm sure he'll still jump in from time to time.
It was really great to hang with the guys for a bit again today. Since moving to Toronto we don't see as much of them as we'd like but we go to as many of their shows as possible.

Collingwood Scenic Caves
We've been on vacation for two glorious weeks, spent the first week working around the house and the second relaxing. Yesterday we took John's son Adam and his girlfriend Sarah to the Collingwood Scenic Caves near Blue Mountain at the highest part of the Niagara Escarpment. There is a 126 metre suspension footbridge, the longest in Ontario, 300 metres above Georgian Bay with a beautiful view of the area. It was quite a climb up but well worth it!

Lobsterfest
Last night John and I attended Lobsterfest at the Eighth Street Legion. Um yes you're right, John is allergic to shellfish and I am vegetarian! But it was a good cause! The benefit dinner and dance was for Lakeshore Community Childcare Centre, the daycare that Matt went to for about 5 years when we lived on Eleventh St. I am still friends with many of the mums I met from the daycare, we're called the Swell Gals and we meet up at one of our houses once in a while to chat and have a laugh. Here are a couple of photos of the night.
The weekend
This weekend Matt asked me if he could invite a couple of buddies over. See he's 19 now and living in the big city, so naturally they want to go clubbing. Michael and Matt met when they were in grade school back in Etobicoke, Dan was a high school friend from our days in Burlington and Jeremy and Matt met at the University of Ottawa. Our little house only has two and a half bedrooms, so the boys pulled in mattresses from the garage and luckily Vic was away for the weekend and graciously gave up her bed. Mum came over, we had Thai supper, then Pam turned up and we had a great evening chatting out on the patio enjoying the warm weather. We were even visited by a baby racoon! Later we dropped the boys off downtown.
