My new Patio

Here's Rick this morning, with a Tonka truck full of nails finishing my deck. When I came home from work tonight, he had put up the fence and the canopy and started the planters. More pictures to follow.

Supper Club

Here are Eb and Margie having some appetizers before our Monday dinner at my place. We take turns hosting these weekly dinners.

Blue Jays Game

On Sunday, Ted and I joined his family for brunch and a ballgame in Toronto. We had good seats in the shade. The Jays lost, but we enjoyed the experience.

Empire Sandy

On Sunday, we went on a "Tall Ship" cruise of the Welland Canal. Because of traffic problems on the Canal, we only got as far as the first lock and the first bridge, but we enjoyed beautiful weather and a delicious lunch.

A Real Cutie!

Christian is now six and a half months old

Prince of Wales

On Monday, Colleen and I went to have "Tea" at the Prince of Wales in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Very elegant!

Royal Botanical Gardens

On Sunday, we went to the Royal Botanical Gardens to see the Iris and Peony display.

The flowers were upstaged by the snapping turtles who had crawled up from a nearby swamp to lay their eggs in the soft garden beds .

Celebration for Jim Bradley

On Friday night, Ted and I attended a very special dinner recognizing Jim Bradley's thirty years of service to the community. Here is the archway of hockey and lacrosse sticks, plus oars and other sports equipment that he walked through to get to our table.
