Happy Birthday, Jeff!

by Debbie Ridpath Ohi on February 6, 2010

Five years ago, I came up with a list of 42 Things I Love About Jeff. I could easily have made this list longer but one of the things I love about Jeff is the fact that he would know why I chose the number 42.

Before I wrote this post, I read over the list and I love the fact that very little has changed (except for the fact that the potential list could be much, much longer).

His smile still makes me melty at the knees.

He’s still there for me when it counts.

Next year we’ll have been married for 20 years. Happy birthday, husband of mine.

Sherman visits Toronto

January 31, 2010

Allison, John and I had lunch with our pal Sherman Dorn, who was in the city for a teachers’ convention. Fun to catch up! I took some pics on my iPhone, which I’ve posted on my iPhone Doodles and Photos Posterous blog. The restaurant had low light conditions, hence the graininess.
I don’t post as [...]

January 26, 2010

Jeff and I went for a walk after he came home from work today, and we decided to check out De La Mer, a new fresh fish shop on Bayview Avenue. I have nothing against the bigger mega-grocery complexes, but I love the intimacy and cozy friendliness of independently owned places like De La [...]
