Ontario Wine Tasting Vineland Estate Winery My wine tasting adventures continued with my brother this past September.  On our self-guided tour, was a stop at the extremely impressive Vineland Estate Winery.  Vineland is located on the Bench of the Niagara Escarpment.  This was a really exciting winery to visit. The converted historic farm buildings were lovely to look at, and the winery offers one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at, The Restaurant at Vineland Estate Winery.  This main building houses the wine tasting area, wine boutique and retail shop.  This property was formerly a Mennonite farm, and this main building served as a place to store farm equipment!  Originally built in 1877, the building was restored in 1999. Anyone who watches the show "The Dragon's Den" will be ...

Ontario Wineries Thirty Bench One of the most anticipated day trips on my list of things to do while visiting Ontario, was to check out some wineries.  My brother, Mark, and I drove from Stratford to the Niagara Peninsula, to visit one of his favourite wineries, Thirty Bench Wine Makers.  Thirty Bench is located in the Beamsville Bench.  Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating, and the only day we had free, the Ontario skies decided to open and show a West Coaster what a real Eastern summer thunder storm looks like.  Really, I could have done without the display, but not to be dissuaded, we persevered.  Thirty Bench is a delightful winery.  It's neither snooty, nor pretentious.  We opted for a wine tasting flight, and were treated to some lovely whites (Thirty Bench is noted for ...

Last night Nik Wallenda walked on a 5 cm braided steel wire across Niagara Falls.  I was not interested in this endeavour in the least, not until he took his first step!  ... then I was transfixed on his 550 metre journey 60 metres above the Niagara gorge.  For 25 minutes, this event captivated my mother-in-law, Vi, my wife, Helen and myself ... and millions of people around the world. Here is a link to a good ABC recap and here is a video of the entire walk: It surprised me how focused I was, and the fact that ABC made him wear a harness did not reduce my interest nor admiration for his feat in the least. ABC captured the event spectacularly, with breathtaking imagery, a live feed with Nik, and, for the most part, interesting commentary. I read reports of 120,000 people watching on the...

Speechless Sundays - One of the 7 Natural Wonders We went to Ontario, Canada earlier this year and went to Niagara Falls for the first time. I truly was Speechless when I first saw the falls. I took dozens of photos and still haven't posted any yet, but thought I'd put this one out today because it's just so stunning. Niagara is one of our 7 national natural wonders. In this photo you can see the falls to the left that are on the U.S. side, and the amazing "horse shoe" falls on the Canadian side. We took the Maid of The Mist ferry ride directly into the falls and it was breathtaking.  Los Angeles Homes For Sale Los Angeles Condos For Sale Los Angeles Townhomes For Sale

Watching Breakfast Television (a Toronto CITY TV network news/variety morning show) on Monday morning, we were told that a young foreign student fell into the Niagara River and went over the falls.  They were about to search for her body with helicopters as daylight came... As regular readers know, Niagara Falls and surrounding areas are a frequent mini-vacation destination for Helen, Alec and I. We will visit two or three times a year. I know exactly where that spot is... Apparently she was on the railing posing for a picture when she lost her balance and fell into the river. My immediate reactions were varied... how stupid... how sad that a happy occasion can turn tragic so quickly... Could this have been prevented?...  I thought of the people she was with, how they must have felt at ...

 I love living in my community ! Originally from Salerno, Italy, my family immigrated from there when I was 8 years old. Although I think my home country is the one of the most beautiful countries in the world (especially the Amalfi Coast!), I am now very proud to call Canada home, having lived here for 41 years..oops I just gave away my age!!   Growing up in the St.Catharines/Niagara area was fantastic, my family and I had the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls when ever we wanted.  How can you beat the beauty of that roaring thunder of millions of gallons of water rushing over creating one of the seven wonders of the world! We could take a leisurely ride down Lakeshore road to Niagara on the Lake, and view all the beautiful wineries that tourists visit every year. Once in Niagara on t...

I have never been nervous speaking in front of the public in fact I have had to speak to people all day long in my first career of hairstylist! That was always one on one, so it never felt intimidating. Well this past weekend I rented a booth in the Lincoln/Grimsby  local home and garden show. The coordinator of the show asked  if I could possibly speak about Images Staged with Flair and about benefits of staging your home. I was a little horrified and surprised when he announced that "yes there is time for you to do a presentation on your staging services"...     My body froze and I started feeling numb!! Not only was I going to speak in front of a large audience but I also had to put together a power point presentation!! Yikes!! The only good thing is that I have a thirteen year old s...
