Hi Al and Peggy - I'll read your post later but I see that you talked about the Rose Theatre. I hadn't heard of this new theatre (it's only about 3 years old) until earlier today when I met a representative from the theatre. It sounds like a very lovely theatre from the representative's description. Bye.
Hi Al & Peggy, how beautiful Brampton looks. You know, since being on AR I have come to see some beautiful places between the US and Canada. Just makes my bucket list get longer and longer! I love the slogan "All roads lead to Brampton" but you forgot the last part of it, "And to Al & Peggy"!
Really George? Have always heard Conneticut is a very beautiful place, but have never been there...will someday! Brampton is just northwest of Toronto. You know, home of the Blue Jays, that team that the Yankees beat the pants off of!
Hey Marc, the Rose Theatre is a nice theatre, the outside courtyard is perfect on a summer night even if you are not attending the theatre to grab an outdoor dinner or ice cream.
Hi Ms Andrea! Can't believe we think alike again!! We were going to put that last part of the slogan in, but decided it might be taken as cheeky! Can't believe we think alike so much!
