A Wonderful and Dangerous Place

Today was an absolutely beautiful day here in Toronto.
It was sunny and breezy.

After taking Crockett for his morning walk, Adam
and I must have walked 10 miles!

We walked down to check out the Community/Recreation
Center down the street.  
We looked it up online as we both want somewhere to go
to exercise but don't want to do the commercial gym thing.

I want somewhere with diversity and close to home.
I want to swim, walk, take a yoga class or play
badminton or volleyball.
I was always active in my youth and I'd rather be doing something
other than walking mindlessly on a treadmill for 30 minutes
while watching a big screen tv.

Sadly, it was a bit underwhelming.
They have quite a few activities that are free or pay
as you go, so we'll check a few out before
we sign up for anything.
Plus, it's almost summer,  the walking trails and parks
of the city will turn into our gym.

Now, to the Wonderful and Dangerous Place.
We went into the store DeSerres.
To describe this store is to say that it is a place of inspiration.
It is a Wonderful and Dangerous Place as
I could have spent 4 hours browsing and easily
$500 on Art & Craft Supplies.


I was good and only made a small purchase.
I grabbed a copy of their flyer and bought
2 Sharpies - pink and green and
2 small notebooks by ecojot with blank pages -
pretty flowers and a bad ass Pug.

Adam bought 2 Sharpies - brown and baby blue
and some Original Silly Putty.

Good shopping day for us both!
