Thank you Toronto...
...for the best fireworks show that I have EVER seen!!!
For the past two years I had had a South facing apartment on the 12th floor of my building facing Lake Ontario. And for every fireworks show displayed just East of the Toronto Island, I would sit at my window or on my balcony and watch the lovely performances, sometimes with the radio accompaniment. And all those shows were great and fun, some I had friends over for, most it was me alone. And I can remember wishing I had someone to share the lightshow with me. Someone I could cuddle up with, to ooooh and ahhh with.
Two months ago I moved into a new apartment with Ian, a floor higher, but North facing. And I am so happy to be wonderfully in love, but felt a pang of regret to lose my great firework watching location. I knew I got the better deal with Ian :)
And then last night the most wonderful thing occured.
Ian and I were sitting in the living room watching a movie...and we heard some fireworks out in the street, just neighbours setting off their store-bought ones. And then I glanced out the window and yelled..."pause...hit pause" And ran outside...Ian ran to follow.
What we could see from our balcony was the largest and most wonderful light show I had ever seen! All the way North from my building...as far as the eye could see...fireworks going off, all kinds, all colours all over the place. It was just every little street, neighbourhood and backyard shooting them off, but for a full hour we were spectators to the neatest thing I have ever witnessed. Better than any Ottawa Canada Day firework show, or the CNE's lightshow...it was so fabulous and so much fun!!!!
So not only did I get what I had always wanted...someone to cuddle with and watch the fireworks with...but the best darn firework display anyone could have ever planned. As I closed my eyes to fall asleep later, I could still see all the lights popping and dancing behing my eyes.
I just wanted to thank all the residents who set off a single firework last night...for making mine the best fireworks ever!!!! :)
