Week Recap - OHIP, High School days, Peter Pan

OHIP
Did you know there is a 3 months waiting period for new Ontario residents? And that OHIP only takes certain documents for "Proof of Residency" and Wendy has none of them (no pay stubs, no cable/phone/utility bills, etc..). Now the best is for mailed bank statements or G1 driver license

High School memory lane
Last few weeks I have bumped into many high school friends from Streetsville, at weddings, T&T supermarket, and BBQ's. I cannot believe it has been 10 years, and many are married.

Peter Pan
Attended the Neverland in Stratford and was truly amazed by the story, and the AWESOME props. They had actors flying around and a HUGE pirate ship on stage. Oh my god..... I felt like a boy believing in fairy :) along with many other kids in the audience. Toronto Star review = 4/4

And, where did Fall go? It feels like Summer jumped to Winter
