I do like bright lights and a big city. After all, I was born very close to the downtown area of Toronto and although you may be able to take the person out of the city, I don’t think that you can ever take the city out of the person. Perhaps this is why I […]
In addition to lists and puns, I do like the odd challenge – “odd” being the operative word. Nothing too daring, but something a little unusual and just a bit beyond my grasp, so I have to stretch – but, not too much. This is why I found myself on Fisherman’s Wharf, in not so
I’m not what you would call a sport’s person. The only physical activity I do, apart from gardening, is biking. I don’t play, or even watch, tennis, golf, soccer, etc. and you would never catch me in a hockey arena. However, I do like baseball. To me it’s a sport, that’s more mental then physical.
My husband and I biked another 20kms this Saturday along the Caledon Rail Trail. This time, we biked from Caledon East to Palgrave. Every section of the trail is not only lovely, but also has its own unique characteristics. The special feature of this particular part of the trail is that it has one of
…..change. Our neighbourhood is changing. Developers are moving in and buying up single family homes, planning to build multiple dwellings on the property acquired. Sigh!

Saturday was the end of our stay in La Malbaie. We left about 10:00am to drive the 2.5 hours back to Quebec city, with stops along the way. We gave Isle aux coudres a miss. It was another short ferry ride and I had already had three ferry rides on this trip. Ste Anne de
Finally, Friday started out warm and sunny. I rushed onto the balcony at 7:00am just to savour the sun, the heat and that wonderful sense of a warm summer’s day. I wasn’t sure how long it would last and I needed to enjoy every blessed minute of it!! Ahh!! Today was a day to go
Thursday was to be a whale watching day, but it decided to rain the entire day 🙁 We headed East, this time, from La Malbaie and with the help of a ferry, crossed the Saguenay fjord at Tadoussac. This was not a pleasure boat, however, it was an essential link on the only highway connecting
