I rarely get the chance to do personal shout-outs but I always keep my promise so this blog is a big shout out to two lovely avid BT viewers I met on the weekend…. Rosanna (a grade school teacher) and her adorable son David. I met them while ordering some chow after a long day of planning my sister’s baby shower….they really did warm me with their kindness and love. Young David wants to be a lawyer one day and let me tell you….he has a promising career…he charmed the pants off of me immediately and already has a way with words….a pleasure meeting you both.
Excuse the poor quality pictures…we look like Loch Ness and big foot….it’s the only photo I’ve got! You get the picture….
Hope you all had a great weekend and I hear you on wanting the ’six pack’ diner chats back (thanks for the feedback) so I promise to deliver a new blog this week! Can you believe it’s the end of August already? Wow…at least we have warm temps and the film fest to look forward to… and thanksgiving and halloween… it never ends does it?

What an incredible way to wrap up the last Friday in August!
Lou Ferrigno…the one, the only, the original Incredible Hulk graced us with his presence for not one but two segments on the show today (and trust me…he is larger than life in real life…. standing at a whopping and muscular 6″5 inches tall…he’s in amazing shape at the ripe young age of 57! Totally inspiring!).
Here’s the best part – we all loved the guy…he’s a huge teddy bear. So sweet, so gracious with his time and so delightful to interview! There’s a reason he’s been involved with comedy on the big and small screen as of late, he’s got a wicked sense of humour.
Everyone was smitten…Frankie (who dressed as the hulk in anticipation), Francis, the crew and yes, yours truly. My childhood is chock full of amazing memories of Lou in his green paint (which took 3 hours and 2 people to pull-off by the way and that doesn’t include the constant touch-ups).
He played for the Toronto Argo’s back in the 70’s too – who knew? He said he loved living in Toronto during that brief period of his life.
He also gave us a HUGE, INCREDIBLE SCOOP! He’s working on a reality show with his wife and 3 kids so stay tuned…all of them passionate about bodybuilding and in phenomenal shape…Lou, if you’re reading this…you are welcome back to BT any time. You are a class act and really impressed every single one of us on set today…not to mention all of the viewers at home. Your warmth shines through… and if you ever do make it to the Amalfi Coast and Capri….send us some pictures!
Have a great weekend everybody….and Lou, thanks for being the only person in a picture to make me feel ‘petite’ and ‘dainty.’ Ahahhahahhahaaa…

The Ex is open, back to school shopping is in full swing and fall is knocking at the doorstep. My impatiens took a beating this year from rain and thrips. My begonias never disappoint and my lawn is the healthiest it’s ever been. So much to do and so little time: I have plans to expand a side garden with a slope, clear out some brush to expand a vegetable garden and I really need to reconsider relaying my interlock patio as the previous owner skimped on building a good base. As I plan on fall tasks I want to leave you with some gardening news…

Named World’s Favorite Rose
August 11, 2009
David Austin
David Austin’s rose ‘Graham Thomas’ is the World’s Favorite Rose, according to the rose aficionados in the 41 member countries that make up the World Federation of Rose Societies (WFRS). Rosa ‘Graham Thomas’ (Ausmas) becomes only the 14th rose in 33 years to win the triennial accolade – considered by many to be the rose world’s highest honor.
The award marks WFRS’s induction of ‘Graham Thomas’ into its highly-selective Rose Hall of Fame. Each Hall of Fame inductee wears the crown of World’s Most Favorite Rose for a three year reign. The first World’s Favorite Rose winner was the famed Peace rose (Rosa ‘Peace’), the 1976 inductee to the Rose Hall of Fame.
In 1983, ‘Graham Thomas’ was the first David Austin hybrid to fully-realize its hybridizer’s vision for new Fragrant English Roses. The cup-shaped blooms have a strong, fresh tea rose fragrance with a cool violet character. Their color is an unusually pure yellow, which is not found in the Old Roses and is rare even among modern roses.
‘Graham Thomas’ forms a bushy shrub sized five feet high by four feet wide. R. ‘Graham Thomas’ is hardy in USDA zones 5 to 9 and has proved a good performer in areas where summer heat and humidity can be problematic. Summer pruning encourages repeat bloom. The rose can also be trained as a spectacular climbing rose, particularly in warmer climates where it can reach 10 to 12 feet and thus is ideal for climbing a wall, rose pillar, obelisk or fence. It enjoys full sun but will also perform surprisingly well in partial shade, provided it is not planted directly underneath the canopy of trees.

Only 17 years young and so beautiful, smart and multi-talented….(I dwarf her and look like a TREE next to her petite frame…too funny). The best part? Emily is completely down to Earth and humble despite her international success playing Hannah Montana’s BFF and now, launching her career as a recording artist.
She showed off the cutest picture of her dog Luna…..check it out on her twitter page….we had girls show up out of nowhere in hopes of catching a glimpse of the teen star who is going to go soooo far, this is only the beginning. It’s always cool to see so much talent run in one family (her older bro is Haley)….anyway, people always ask me what stars are ‘really like’ off-air…now you know…no dirt here…Emily Osment is the real deal.

Shhhh….how cool is this?! I’ve been secretly working at Yonge/Dundas Square after the show (our soon-to-be brand new home… we’re all very excited)…on a bit of a covert operation (well, not anymore thanks to this blog, teehee).
The mission? Ford Models Supermodel of the World Canada. You see, like all reality tv shows…there is a ton of voice over work that is needed for every episode to drive it along.
The cool thing is that I get to be the very first person to crack open our brand new audio booth.
Its a sneak peek of the new building and a behind-the-scenes look at how we voice our scripts every single day.
Ok, its a small thing but a fun thing…as you can see in the title…I like to kid….Mark Dailey is my idol…he is the man, the voice of CityTV…he is brilliant and when I grow up…I aim to be half as good as he is…for now, I will merely have the honour of knowing that I was the first to Christen the new microphone and fancy shmancy high-tech voice over booth, pretty cool stuff.
You know I love and admire you Mark D…
Dina P over and out…
