Today, we started the month of November with a trip to the big city of Toronto for the Zoomer Show. As CARP (Canadian Advocacy for Retired Persons) members, we got in for free! This is one of those times I don't mind being one of "them".
There were various "lounges" and park benches to rest one's feet so, we frequented these spots as we enjoyed free lattes and Chai tea as we browse through our pamphlets, brochures and freebies. Before long, there was someone with sesame crackers and roasted pepper dip. Every hour, there were scheduled entertainment; we enjoyed Toronto's own jazzy Elise LeGrow, Ron Moore's Songs in the Key of Elvis. Also, cast members from We will Rock You, the Musical "Queen".
The exhibits were divided into different groups: Education, Health, Lifestyle, Money, and Travel/Real Estate. I looked at electric bicycles (as mode of transportation, not for exercise), Brain Fitness Program (computer based), Me to We Volunteer Adventures and wave machines to increase bone density to name a few. I supposed we could have taken the posturepedic beds for a "test drive" but I was afraid that type of comfort might really induce me to sleep!
Being in its first year, there were only a few exhibitors so it didn't take long for us to see what we wanted to see.
On our way home, we stopped by Whole Foods in Oakville. This is a foodie's mecca: the products are esthetically displayed, the aisles are wide, and lots of product samples to taste. Had we timed our visit a little later, then supper would have been taken cared of.
It was a relaxing and enjoyable day; a day full of freebies. For that, I am grateful.

Hi mum!
Sounds like you two had a nice time at your show. Wish I had freebies.
