Taco Tuesday at the Robinson household. Yes, that is fresh avocado and ground
turkey you see. It was amazingly delicious! Don't worry, I only ate half.

Words can't express my disappointment with my garden, or lack
thereof. Looks like I won't be getting any veggies this year.

Sad day. My parents had to have our dog Bailey put to sleep. :(

We helped my Mom clean out her basement today. It was
my first time at her house since Mark died. We also
transferred Mark's ashes into an urn. I kept some for myself
in this Patron bottle. Can't imagine a more perfect place for them.
I'm sure Mark is drinking Patron in Heaven, too.

I have been staring at this website content way too much today.

We ventured into downtown Toronto tonight to explore
and eat dinner. Even though we didn't make it to the top

and tomorrow night and then heading to Niagara Falls.

My computer at work got a virus, I had all kinds of technology
frustrations and I found a big mistake I made on a mailing we
sent out to all of the parents at our school. Not a good day so my
coworkers gave me all of these Mike & Ike's to "sweeten me up."
I ate almost all the pink and red ones and I think it worked.
