Did I mention to you all that I wear a Silver 3/4 of an inch maltese cross necklace around my neck 24/7/365? If I need some encouragement, I kiss it. If I need some strength, i kiss it.

This week starts off with the Seat Belts across Ontario with the Police.

In Ontario, before Oct. 2006 it's legal to carry more passengers in a vehicle than there are seatbelts as long as all seatbelts are being used and the driver is not inhibited by any of the passengers. This law changed after this fatal minivan crash in Caledon on Oct. 14th 2006.
