In Pictures: Summer 2014

2.9.14


I mean...wasn't it just May?  We've been keeping super busy this Summer with all sorts of good times, especially birthdays.  Lenny is four.  It's hard to believe how quickly time has flown.  That whole thing about the years being short and the days being long?  So on the money.





Lenny wasn't the only one with a birthday.  Our friend Matthew is ONE!  Isn't he handsome?  

Beautiful Girls

Great brunch spot with great people in the Junction Triangle.  
A trip to the ROM always means a trip to Starbucks too.
My first attempt at growing food is actually yielding results.  So shocked.

 It wouldn't be Summer without a few trips to the C.N.E.  


With my Mama
Farmer Len is already a better driver than me.

A visit with Cousin / Auntie Laura

Getting ready to march in the Caribbean Festival Parade where I was the official photographer for the PanAm Games.

I took a conference call at the beach last week.  Moments like these remind me of why Freelance Life is THE BEST.

Derek Jeter's last game in Toronto with my girls...


Perhaps the most exciting development in our household this Summer was the addition of J.J.  Lenny named him after the Robeau (J.J. is short for Jim Junior) and I'm happy to report that this handsome Russian Blue youngster is fitting in quite nicely.  I've missed having a cat in the house.


Fall, here we come!  It's going to be a big one...

World Pride in Pictures

29.6.14


By far my favourite poster in the parade.  So brilliant. Warmed my heart to see Harvey represented.
Tiny Elton John supports Olivia Chow for Mayor
This young lady gifted these awesome butterfly glasses to Lenny.  She, of course, loves them!
More Oliva love.
Yes, the naked people.  I include the naked people because 1) Lenny saw the naked people and cared not-even-a-little-bit about their nakedness.   The naked people do not freak kids out (at least not this kid) she couldn't have cared less.  And 2) The repeated sight of 60 year old cocknballs was enough to give me the fortitude to go sleeveless.
I set my big ol white arms free.  It was a PRIDE MIRACLE.
This visual had me singing a Kay Thomspson song in my head, which is precisely why I was the kind of girl who hung out nearly exclusively with gay men when I was in my 20's.  I am well aware that this is the kind of reference that makes me a dinosaur.  I can deal with it.
This cheerleader came running over to Lenny, gave her a PFLAG sticker and spoke so sweetly with her.  She was...overwhelmed.  After the photo she thanked her and then said to me, "did you SEE her pom poms?!"  It was a rare shy moment for Len.
This was not a shy moment.  This, was a mutual admiration fest.  These guys were AWESOME!  
Later tonight, back at home, a rainbow.  The perfect way to end World Pride in Toronto.  This gave me the chills.





Christmas 2012: East York Santa Claus Parade

12.12.12

This might be the one day a year that I'm happiest to live in our neighbourhood.  Small town feel in the big city...and Santa!
