I decided to look back in my archives to see if I could share some oldies but goodies. From Niagara Falls to Ireland to Venice and everywhere in between from 2012 to 2016.

Canada has had over 700 wildfires across the country, mostly in the north, that many communities are feeling the effects of. Toronto has had some of the worst air quality days in the country. There are days when you can barely make out the city skyline because of the haze.
When there is a bit of a breeze we get some relief and actually experience beautiful days over the lake.

The day was misty and grey and the city across from the lake was hidden by the fog.

…yesterday we had the privilege of attending the outdoor wedding of our nephew and his beautiful bride
We were so pleased that the water that we did not experience was rain, especially since the forecast called for 60% rain. We arrived early to take part in the picture taking of the bride’s and groom’s family and as we watched the photographer do his magic with the happy couple you couldn’t help but notice the lovely pond and fountain on the property.

…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.

A three day blow occurs when the winds are strong and the waves are big for three days in a row. To my granddaughter’s delight she experienced that at the cottage on Georgian Bay this weekend. There were times when the waves were so high that they went over our heads. I was so glad that I purchased a lifejacket for her to wear. It made the experience less stressful for me and her mom and more fun for her.

I love the joy and satisfaction my husband gets from painting, especially in the summertime when he can paint in the backyard studio. He can get as messy as he likes and he listens to his favourite tunes. Sometimes he even gets up and starts dancing. This past week he sold one of his paintings. I wired it for him and we hung it up to get it off the floor so it wouldn’t get damaged before it is picked up.
