Chinatown Gates

The latest from Canada Post:  Chinatown Gates stamps!  Of course I'm partial to the Toronto stamp with our red streetcar passing by.  But the best part is how the souvenir sheet is printed in a bright red circle!

good things

1. Kicking postcards.
2. Silver Linings Playbook.  (Never expected to like it.  Ended up loving it.)
3. Biking up the Humber.  And past the most beautiful cherry blossoms.
4. Gelato season!
5. Chatting with Joey's new barber, Enzo.  In Italian.  Perfect practice for us.

Sweet, short notes sent to your loved ones are the best!
