The ROM

No quilting got done this weekend.  Yesterday we decided to go to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum).  They are currently featuring a special exhibit about Water.  It was very interesting and somewhat disturbing.  Living on the shores of some of the biggest lakes in North America it is sometimes easy to forget how precious our fresh water is.  20% of the world's fresh water is right here in the Great Lakes!  Can you imagine?  We have a gigantic obligation to keep our waters clean!  If you ever get a chance to see this special exhibit, I hope you will do so.

They wouldn't let me take any photos inside the Water exhibit, but later, when we toured a small area of the permanent exhibits in the main part of the museum, I was able to take a few shots of the dinosaur exhibit.

I've seen the ads for the Water Exhibit. Did you know that you can get free passes at the library for the ROM, AGO, Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Textile Museum, the Gardiner and a few other places? I have one for Gardiner and the Textile Museum. They are good till the end of Sept. Not all libraries have all the various passes.
