A Lovely Day With My Mom

I had a lovely day today with my Mom.

We met for lunch at our usual place & sat in our usual seat.

We shared a Canadian Breakfast then

Mom had a Butter Tart & I had a mouthwatering piece

of Strawberry Shortcake

It was so delicious I didn't even think to take a photo of it,

I just devoured it.

We also shared a small bowl of fresh fruit;

pineapple, blueberries, cantaloupe, strawberries, and honeydew melon.



I had heard about the Word On The Street Festival.

I thought it was on the front lawn at Queens Park, so we took the subway up.

It was a perfect day. There was a slight breeze and enough shady spots

to not get too warm.

The front lawn was empty but there were alot of people in the area so we walked around back.

There were sooooo many people and so many book tents.

Where we started was in the children's area.

Mom, also being a Nana could have spent forever there.

Books to me, were the best gifts when I was a kid.

The tents and stages spanned a large area from the backyard of Queen's Park

all the way north up to Bloor Street.

I will say, my feet were sore and we only went up one side.

Plus, we'd bought a few hardcover books and they were getting a bit heavy.

 

It is a great festival and I will for sure go again next year.

The only change I'd make is to get an earlier start.

We arrived at around 3:00pm.

I have never read Little Women.

The man at the tent said it was one of his favorite books, then went on

to say that it wasn't probably the manliest thing to say that he loved the book.

I'm looking forward to it.

I've been wanting to read the Percy Jackson Series.

They had book one so I picked it up.

These Donna Hay Cookbooks below were $1 each.

How could I pass that up?

I must try this fruit recipe:
