…in Toronto
When my friend Liz heard that our six year old granddaughter was coming for a visit she highly recommended that we check out this park in the east end of Toronto. Anyone with children should definitely check it out for the play areas and the art trail is a great area for walking and cycling for all ages.
There are areas where you can picnic but there are no vendors currently where you can purchase food. So be sure to bring snacks and drinks with you.

…spending all my time on my art
Sorry for the delay but my mind has been on getting the list of our artworks ready for the Inn. I found these trios on the garden tour last week.

…both Kevin and I are hosting our first art show together
I know that I have enough art to put on another show but I always like to create some new pieces. A while back I took a photo of a random group of buttons and I had it enlarged. In my head I envisioned stitching the buttons over the photograph and then add some more stitches around the buttons. Here is the finished piece.
For my last show I painted a mixed media meadow scene that was very popular and sold at the show. I decided to try another piece using similar techniques but this time I made it larger. It features sumacs in the foreground and spring flowers throughout the rest of this country landscape.
The show starts July 29 and runs till August 24 at Montgomery’s Inn.
If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post.
…after 21 years with the Sandy Graham
For several years now we have been told that a new ferry would be coming to Christian Island. There were lots of rumours as to why it was taking so long. Then last year it was finally ready for delivery, It made its way through the Great Lakes when disaster struck. Apparently one of the loading ramps fell into the water. Then we had to wait for the repair to be made. Not a small job by any means and of course after the job was completed it needed to pass inspection.
Last week the day arrived when the residents, the cottagers and visitors could drive on and drive off the new ferry. Everyone had huge smiles on their faces. No more backing onto the boat. Loading and unloading was very easy and very quick.
People have asked me if the ferry is faster than the old one. The trip across from one dock to the other might be a few minutes shorter.
