celebrate!

Joined Lex and Ger again for the Toronto Festival of Lights down in Kensington Market. It was a little weird celebrating the Winter Solstice with no snow but we still had fun. I love the drumming! Malcolm attended too—he was the "staff" photographer! Lex and Ger headed home early unfortunately; but Malcolm and I continued to the planned Chinese House of Gourmet restaurant for a tasty meal.



I was not successful in completing my planning for building lanterns for the Festival. I got off to a good start but got a bit quagmired in design complications and then got surprisingly busy in November and December, both on week days and the week ends, so my planned trip(s) to the Japanese Paper Store never happened.

I vowed that for the 2007 Festival of Lights, I will be prepared. In fact, I've circled my June calendar: on or around the Summer Solstice I will plan a lantern-making party! BYOL!
