I received this the other day from Cindy Hillis. Most of you remember Jack. Her comments are below and a couple of photos of Jack in WW 11.

Hi Jack. Here is a little more information on my dad, Jack Hillis Dad turned 90 years old on Oct. 20. He is now the oldest living retired fire fighter in Windsor. He gets a kick out of telling people that. He was retired 30 years on Oct. 20 He had 4 children, 4 grandchildren and just became a great grandfather for the second time 5 days ago. Cindy Hillis

Flash Mob Dance in Eaton Centre

This has an interesting story behind the event.

Kim MacGregor launched this grassroots movement to unite and inspire 1,000,000 women around the world to recognize the amazing women in their lives-in memory of her inspirational friend Erika Heller, who lost her four-year battle with colon cancer on May 28, 2009, at 31 years old, just two weeks shy of her one-year wedding anniversary to her Prince Charming, Ryan Cornell.
The group of 200 dancers only had a one six hour rehearsal one day before the shoot. The song is "I believe" by Yolanda Adams. Enjoy!

Student's First Grade Drawing

This is a student's First Grade Drawing

A first grade girl handed in the drawing for her homework assignment.

The teacher graded it and the child brought it home.

She returned to school the next day with the following note:






Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be perfectly clear on my child's homework illustration.
It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint surrounded by male customers with money.
I work at LOWES and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm.
This drawing is of me selling a shovel.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Harrington

Wow..snow in Toronto

I think this is more than appropriate. After last night and today's snow storm the city of Toronto is somewhat perplexed. Most Torontonians are never quite prepared for emergencies. Have fun :)
