Thunder Bay

We left last Friday August 31 to drive our daughter to Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and tomorrow we will head back to TO.  It’s been a great trip!!! The drive for the most part is spectacular with gorgeous views of Lake Superior and the highlands. Thunder Bay has a lovely waterfront park and the […]

Summer on the Mountain

On and off throughout the last 40 or 50 years Blue Mountain has been a destination for me with friends and/or family. My Grandfather actually owed a “public house” in Grey County before prohibition…so maybe for the last 100 years or so I have had connections to the area. I learned to ski there in

Hot Stuff…..

This is sad but also ironical. Did the Firehall Pizza Co. serve pizzas that were too hot? This is/was a restaurant up at Blue Mountain Village. It looks like the damage to the building, though extensive, is repairable.  Hopefully no one was injured. We were able to get away for a few days over the

A little night magic….

This is where the ferry leaves to cross the St. Lawrence into the Charlevoix region of Quebec. Charlevoix

All You Knit Is Love…..

This has to be the coolest name that I have ever come across for a yarn store.  It was in the old town of Barcelona and I nearly missed it.  We were walking through these narrow winding alleyways and I was looking for interesting shots of gargoyles, when my husband said, “look a yarn store

I’m back!!!

I couldn’t connect to the WIFI avalable in the flat that we rented for 10 days in Barcelona so I have a lot of catching up to do.  My two kids had no problem connecting with their Macs; but there was some sort of incompatibility with windows and a Dell program on my computer.  Believe me

If I could…..

This is in answer to a little blog challenge that Cricket Walker has posted in my Facebook blogging group.  You are to complete the statement. “If I could….. If I could take some time off or divide myself in two and have one of me at Infiknit, I would take the other “me” on a
