If you would like us to correct them, please let us know.
Knowing me, some of you probably is already
wondering what's up since I haven't blogged for a long while. Well, I am a tad
bit tired from my flash visit to Toronto.
Shu Liang's visit in May 2008 from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) In mid-May, I made a six-day
trip to Toronto (four days on the ground and two days flying) to see my parents.
Living in UAE is the first time both Q and I are apart from our parents, and it
bugged me that I plan all these trips to elsewhere but not to them. It's one of
those things, and I finally realized that I needed to visit them - even for no
particular reason. And I'm very glad that I did, but it is quite sad and
depressing to leave them again, as much as I wouldn't like to admit. So if
anything I've learnt from the trip, keep regular contacts with parents - both
physically and emotionally. It ain't easy I know.
Parents aside, I didn't
realize how much I missed Toronto until the plane started circling above the
city prior to landing, and I talked like a baby during the first couple hours
driving in the city, "Trees! ... Flowers! ...Dogs! Green trees! Real trees!"
People say that you don't realize how much you've lost until you lost it, for
me, it's until I returned to it.
All in all, it was an awesome trip. I
never knew a road trip could be so much fun - many thanks to my navigators: Mom
and GPS. Yes, after getting used to driving in AD, driving in Toronto was real
easy - 1000 km in 3 days, baby! (OH YEAH, some of you should be shivering with
fear now. :) I just had to remember NOT to exhibit three typical UAE behaviours:
U-turn at traffic light, no honking and no high-beaming others who move slow
(including pedestrians).

Thank you both for welcoming "two perfect strangers"
into your beautiful home to stay for the weekend. We have
never stayed at a B&B before, but with your kind hearts
and warm personalities, it really does feel like a "home"
away from home. There is a relaxing calm in the night, with
fresh snow on the ground, covering the trees, and the views
are breathtaking. Thanks again for sharing your cozy "chalet
in the woods" with us and making us yummy breakfasts.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. See you again.

This is a very elegant place overlooking a large lake with
very hospitable hosts who go above & beyond the call of
duty. Dawn Marie & Paul helped us with anything needed
& made us feel at home. I had to threaten bodily harm
in order to get her recipe for the tasty porridge, but was
well worth it. It's a very peaceful place except when Rhona
& I were around. Everything was wonderful except for one
problem: i broke my ribs dog sledding & due to constant
laughter, i hurt myself even more. No worry, Paul will fix
u up with some pills he found from 1944. If u are ever up
this way, this is the place to relax & have fun. This
is a wonderful B & B !

treat. Such a beautiful place to retreat to. We shall have
to come back in summer and see everything then. Thank you

Such a wonderful lodge in winter wonderland. Such exquisite
decor and incredible comfort. You guys must have put so much
time, effort and pride into doing all of this. Most important
of all, thank you for being so wonderful hosts, for even Heaven
will be incomplete without the angels, and your warmth and
hospitality just completes the entire experience!
Dawn-Marie: don't feel bad a out giving up the Loft (yes the
Loft is great) for I think the love and warmth in this house
means so much more than the space we live.
Paul: thank you for waiting up on the first night, and the
nice chat at the breakfast table.
Both: have a wonderful, blessed, white Christmas, God willing.
we'll be back to visit you and you two little darlings!!!

Hi Paul,
Thanks again for the great stay and hospitality. I just identified
the black fly larvae that I collected from that pond outflow
in your backyard. They are a species called "Stegopterna
diplomutata". These are interesting because they are
actually hard to find - they mature in the streams over the
winter and are usually out of the water in May. Since most
black fly folk aren't collecting in the winter months, these
are a great find for us! The better news for you is that although
mamilophilic (mammal-biting) they are rarely known to bite
humans - there are records of deer, fox, and waterfowl feeding.
So you're deer in the back yard might get bit a bit come mid-May!
Here is the address to my personal website:
http://www.zoo.utoronto.ca/mspironello
That's about the stuff I do, but there
is also a link there to the North American Black Fly Association
(that I run the website for). There are all kinds of great
links about black
flies here. Thanks again, and perhaps Katherine and I
will return in the summer!
