Sculpture Saturday – August 14, 2021

Posted on August 14, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….behind city hall, a most unusual spot for such a dignified politician

Finding places to sit down when you’re in downtown Toronto can still be a little difficult even after things have opened up a bit more. There’s also a ton of construction going on and lots of areas are fenced off. Yesterday, my daughter and I found ourselves smack in the middle of town and we were looking for a place to drink our coffee while we waited for a take-out meal to be prepared.

Andrea knew that behind city hall there were some benches where we could sit for twenty minutes while we waited for our lunch. To my surprise we came across a huge statue of Winston Churchill.

As you can see, there is a lot of construction going on in the street next to the statue.

Friday the 13th – Tonguely Visits Port Dover

Posted on August 13, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….every Friday 13th thousands of bikers descend on Port Dover, ON

Despite the pandemic 35 000 bikers still made their way to Port Dover. This number is down from the normal 100 000. https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/35k-motorcyclists-flock-to-port-dover-for-friday-the-13th-1.5545921

Tonguely decided to join the bikers this year and bring along his three knucklehead nephews. No idea where he got the bike from.

For those of you who were wondering about the flowered running shorts that Tonguely was seen with last week here is the photo that inspired him:

A Bonfire and S’mores

….one of my granddaughter’s favourite activities at the cottage

A weekend at the cottage wouldn’t be the same without a bonfire and roasting marshmallows, especially when there’s a five year old to entertain.

Wacky Bird Wednesday – August 11, 2021

Posted on August 11, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…putting the wacky back in Wacky Bird Wednesday

Last week was a bad week for the internet and my computer here at home. I thought I was going to have to take my computer in for service because it took forever to upload photos to my posts. As a result a lot of my regular posts didn’t happen at all and I’ve been making up for it this week. For whatever reason everything seems to be working again.

This week I have two wacky birds to share.
