Obstructing My View

…from the park at the end of my street

The city has decided to repair the sea wall at the edge of the park where I often start my walks. As a result a huge section has been fenced off and the dump trucks have started driving up and down our street delivering clean land fill and removing some of the old stuff.

The project could take up to a year to complete. The park over on Third Street is still partially fenced and that project is still ongoing after almost two years. The other park that I love to walk through, Col. Sam Smith Park has a similar project on the water’s edge and could take three years to complete.

I’ll keep you posted with the progress.

Water, Water Everywhere….At Canada’s Wonderland

yesterday I went to a huge amusement park north of the city with our granddaughter, Winnie and her parents

I think the last time I went to Canada’s Wonderland was over 40 years ago when the kids were very young. I remember loving the water rides and I went on two of them and was absolutely soaked after the Timberwolf Falls ride. Of course I didn’t bring a change of clothes so I walked around in a very wet shirt and cotton pants. Luckily it was a very warm and sunny day.

Over the years the place has been built up and there are many water features, gardens and fountains that are new to me.
