Weekend in Boston

On July 20 we went to Boston. On Sunday, the Red Sox beat the White Sox at Fenway Park.

Here is a home run in the fifth inning that sent three players home.

Sunday concert at Ancaster

We took our picnic supper to Fieldcote Park. I have just jumped into the picture on the timer mode.

Then we enjoyed the concert by the Fado Blues group with Catarina Cardeal and Mike Siracusa.

Water Baby

Here's Christian having his first swim in the pool at Grandparents Tophens' house.

Family

Here is Christian and his family at Leslie and Isaac's place on July 4

New Deck, next stage

Rick finished my deck last week. Now I just have to paint the shed and the furniture and re-cover the cushions.

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.

I can sit up now!

Here's Christian at six months sitting up on his own.

New Camera

Here I am back on Blogger. My two-year-old Sony camera bit the dust - the LCD screen failed, and since I didn't have an extended warranty, it was not worthwhile to have it fixed. So much for Sony quality!

This is a cheap Pentax, and in some ways it is better than the Sony.

Here are Colleen and Christian

Heather's Shower

Colleen and I went to a shower for my niece, Heather.

A Day in the Park

Colleen and Scott took Christian to the park today. He tried some real "big boy" stuff.
