Last week Simone over at
The Bottom of the Ironing Basket
tagged me for a
"Five years" list.
It has taken some thinking
and digging through my memory
but here I go...
Where were you 5 years ago?

Where were you 5 years ago?
Wow ~ looking back not a whole lot has changed in my life.
I am still working the same job, living in the same house.
We would have celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary,
had one furry child Sasha whom we lost the spring of 2006.
We went to Ontario for vacation and made a few stops
along the way.
We spent a night in Quebec City ~ then off to Ottawa
home base was Brampton and then we
took a side trip to Niagara Falls and
Niagara on the Lake.
I was about 40lbs heavier, so I guess that is different.
It was a fantastic vacation
as we did a lot together
and I got to see some things I have seen many time
through Trevor's eyes as it was his first time
to place like the falls
and Canada's Wonderland.

Still married to the same man
Braver
Believe in myself more
and be content with where I am ~
life is too short for regrets....

Lori, It's so fun to get to know you better.
When you were listing your vacation cities, my heart went pitter-patter. My husband and I go to Niagria-On-The-Lake every September for their wine weekends. Oh I LOVE that town and it's wonderful people. I could live there!
And kudos to you for your weight loss!!!! I am trying to loose a chunk of weight myself. I know the hard work that goes into loosing 40 pounds. Yea for you!
Can you imagine my surprise when I saw MY name being tagged. Ohhhhh, what fun!
I'll post this later this week.
Thanks so much!
Yvonne
I too loved learning more about you!
Happy day to you!

I loved your lists. Congrats for being 40 pounds thinner. It's usually the opposite so good for you! I like stuff like this...thanks for tagging me. I think I might post on this one. It's been a while since I've played along and it's good to reflect right:) Have a great day sweetie.
What a fun award! Now I am going to have to do some thinking on this one! Thank you so much for including me! You are always so sweet! Still want to see the rest of your dining room with your new chair cushions! I'm dying to see it actually! I have been thinking nonstop about those since you posted them!
Dear Lori,
Lovely hearing about your past 5 years. ....and you have lost SO much weight. I am so impressed. You have done so well.
By the way, you asked me what plant that was outside the florist in Hertford. It's actually an hydrangea. XXXX
Lori - What an wonderful post! It's always fun learning more about the women behind my fave blogs! I love your dream about meeting your internet group at the Plaza - I truly hope that comes true for you...it's a fabulous place for fun girlfriend adventures! And 40 pounds - very inspiring, my friend! Have a beautiful day! xxoo :)
This was such a great read Lori, thanks for doing this :)
40lbs is AMAZING!!! So proud of you :)
I've been to Niagara Falls, what a day that was....it's such an incredible sight!
Milk chocolate.....me too!!
And The Plaza dream....I am so there!!! Maybe when we are 50??!! Not sure we can rely on that lottery win LOL!
XOXO
Hi Lori - I think it's a great thing to want to be braver! I am so with you ; life feels scary sometimes and I do think I should face up abit more. I like to skulk at the sidelines! I loved this post and thanks so much for the mention at the end! I would have been delighted to respond, but I was tagged with this one a little while back. I am not sure I would be able to give any different answers. But I am really touched you thought of me :-)

Can we be roomies at The Plaza? I'm there, bring your fanciest jammies, lots of coffee, and let's be sure to have a balcony.
I will do this one asap, may have to send you a side note as well.
See those sunshine kisses heading your way?
kudos to you for your weight loss!!!!
