My daughter headed out early this morning to meet friends for breakfast, before going to “the game.” The game, in summer, in North America, is none other than baseball!! Today, at the Skydome, they were giving out Arencibia bobble head dolls, to the – not sure of the exact number but maybe – first 10,000

……Brewerese!!! It was a lovely day yesterday and since enough members of the family were going down to support the “Pride” parade, my husband and I decided to go to Harbourfront to see if the tall ships were still there.
