Normally Susan and I have a quiet New Year’s Eve at home and barely make it to midnight. This year the girls had some of their friends over for the night and the place was bumping. Gillian’s friends from first year university making another blog appearance.

For the sixth time in the last seven years we rented the ice at Meadowvale Four Rinks over the break. The girls had their friends out for some skating and shooting the puck around.

Blue Jays vs Yankees

June 4, 2017
Rainwater

It was Josh Donaldson Bobblehead Day at the final game of the Blue Jays vs Yankees four game series. Toronto needed the win to split the series. Angela had to work today, so Gillian invited Farriyan, a friend of hers from Mac.

With the rain and risk of thunderstorms the roof was closed again.

The Blue Jay mascot Ace, was up near our section.

We were in Section 512, Row 11, Seats 7-11.

The Jays won the game 3-2, it was Josh Donaldson hitting his 6th home run of the year in the bottom of the 8th inning for the lead. Roberto Osuna came in for a 1-2-3 ninth and struck out the side to earn his 13th save. It was a quick game, it only took 2 hours and 27 minutes.

After the game we headed to Chinatown for some dinner.

We went to Ajisen Ramen. Gillian had spotted it last time we were walking back to the Subway.

We parked at Kipling and took the Subway down to the game. The Line 1 from St. George to Sheppard West (formerly Downsview) was closed all weekend for the signal work. The Gardiner was also closed for most of the day due to a Heart & Stroke Bike ride. Here is Claudia trying to stretch her arms.
