Captivated By A Majestic Red & Gold Dragon At Superstore... Chinese New Year Must Be Near!

Chinese New Year will be on January 28 and I am already seeing hints here. 🐉 I love this time of year and love to celebrate with our wonderful Chinese Community. Love that red and gold! It's also the year of the Rooster. 🐓

Our nearby Superstore really decked things up for this lovely time of year.  We also were very fortunate to be able to buy such delicious Florida golden navel oranges for the "low price" of only .68 cents a pound.  We were practically gifted so I had to stock up!

Even Royal's new little tiger caught my eye.  How adorable and majestic!  Perfect fit too with these pictures.  There is something about the orient that makes me wonder if I'm related to Marco Polo somehow. lol  I just love the Asian culture and people.  So glad to be able to experience so many different wonderful cultures here in Canada!  It's more than just the food also.  Now another dream vacation on mine would be China, however.  Hopefully one day soon!   

HarbourFront Center In Downtown Toronto Offers Free Public Skating & Amazing Views!!

Wow, right!  And don't forget the Lake Ontario view!!  Toronto is a world class city and this is one of the reasons right here and it's free.  Now you may want to spring for a locker for your shoes and personal items and don't forget to bring money for hot chocolate too. There is a cafe near the rink but there is a Tim Hortin's on Queens Quay and in the HarbourFront Terminal if you prefer that instead.

Right when we got there to the locker and change room it was so packed but everyone was so easy going we were able to get our skates on and locker packed with no problem.  They even offer skate rentals and skate sharpening for a cost.  When we got there a girl was hurt but she was being taken care of by caring and competent staff.  I was impressed.  

Though there is no parking included it's a small price to pay for such a great time.  We went to the newly built parking garage off Queens Quay so close to the rink.  Two hours were $14 Canadian and plenty enough time for a quick lunch at Sobey's in the Terminal and a skate.  Now there is pay street parking by the PawsWay and other lots but they are much further.  It was too cold for me to walk around, personally.

That's the Lake view.  So AMAZING, right!  And we went on a kinda cold and dreary day.  I was so fortunate to get a new iPod 6th Generation for Christmas and I am so very pleased with the camera and everything.  Excellent device!  I have my iTunes on there too and all downloaded.  I also want to mention that the rink itself is sheltered from the wind so it wasn't that cold to me and I hate to be cold.  I was in a warm coat with mittens and a hat on, however, so please dress appropriate.
