Pride in the Park

Mike and I attended an awesome event here in St. Catharines yesterday.  It was Pride in the Park at Montebello Park.  We walked down there around 1:00.  City Hall was amazingly decked out with the Pride flag raised and all of these little pink and blue flags:

We were happy to see how many people were at the event, which included tons of vendors:

I had my tarot cards read, which was kinda neat.  We then had some bacon poutine from Smoke’s Poutinerie:

Yum.  I think we wandered around for a couple hours before heading back home.

From the Pet Valu tent, I got a cute little bandana, which I figured I could use for Pinky’s head.  She loves sitting out on the balcony, but her naked head gets burned pretty quick, so I don’t leave her out too long (the ham starts to cook!)  She was not impressed:

Mya wasn’t too thrilled either when I put in on her:

I asked Boo if she wanted to wear it and she gave me this look:

I’m pretty sure that’s her “Bugger off!” face!

We went back to the event later in the evening to check out the performers and music acts:

Check out those heels!  I wouldn’t have been able to stand for a second in those.

We also heard a great music group from Toronto called Riverse.  I loved their music!  I met them after their awesome performance.  They were wonderful to speak with – what a nice looking group too!

Apparently they were performing in Barrie earlier that day, then drove all the way down to St. Catharines, and back to Toronto.  Good grief!!!!  I’m exhausted just thinking of a day that long.

Today, I visited with my little mother.   We hit Timmies then a few stores around Fonthill.  It was a nice day.  I’m quite pooped out today because of yesterday, but I’m still smiling from the great time I had.  I’ll probably hit the sack early tonight.  I possibly have another charity golf tournament fly-over tomorrow, but am waiting for confirmation from the organizer.  It was a go when we first spoke back in December but I haven’t heard any more since then.

Today’s symptoms: Fairly fatigued, but to be expected.  Still having the weird warmth sensation along with the nerve pain down my left side and mainly in my leg.  Other than that, a bit of a headache and everything else is good!
