About Me
- Peggy
- I have a great curiosity and interest in the many things around me. I love to travel, even if it is for a walk around the block. I have loved and lost, loved and thrown away and loved again. Currently trying to figure out whether there is a "Mr Right" in my future. My 5 adult children are reasonably self sufficient now and I have the time to indulge myself by exploring the things which interest me. I am now trying to figure out if I am really in retirement and if so how to reconstruct my life or if I am just taking a break from my career for a while.
My Toronto Skyline Pics
I used to wake up to this view
One small part of the south view from my Liberty Village Condo until Dec 2010
Another small part of my south view - long lost in a maze of new buildings called King West Plaza
The view I have now. I moved across the street and this building sprang up in the last year - obstructing my old and new views. I still see a sliver of lake.
View to the Harbour during Tall Ships Sail Past - views like this no more from my balcony.
My New Mantra
After all - it is a hobby!
