Judy’s Number’s Game – November 25, 2024
…thanks to Judy Dykstra-Brown for hosting the Numbers Game
Today’s number is 170. Why not check out what photos pop up when you search for that number?
The computer did it again. It found a photo with the number ‘170’ in it.

If you type in the number 160 in the search box of your photo page you might be surprised what shows up. Here is what I found this week.
Water, Water Everywhere – A Three Day Blow
…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/08/12/swan-pond-water-water-everywhere-challenge-232/
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.

A Fun Day at the Green Pig
…it is much more than a corn maze
Last year in September, The Green Pig Country Market in Salisbury, NB, burned down. Earlier this year the owners started to rebuild and when we arrived last week they had a great selection of pumpkins and a variety of squash.
After Winnie’s special birthday breakfast we drove to The Green Pig. I thought we were just going to a corn maze but it turned out to be much more. Apart from the market and the corn maze they had a great play area for kids of all ages.
A fun Day was had by all the rain held off till we got back into the car.
Silent Sunday – June 25, 2023
…late due to internet connection problems
On a Mini Adventure
…I’m hoping to keep my blog going but if the site is empty for a few days it’s because I’m in New Brunswick
It’s not that New Brunswick doesn’t have the internet, it does, but my granddaughter might have other ideas about how her Oma should spend her time. I’m really looking forward to this trip but I’m also nervous. I always get nervous before getting on a plane and this is the first time I’m getting on a propeller plane. I know lots of people who love this airline but it is the first time I’ve flown with them. Wish me luck.
Hopefully I’ll have a few photos of the ocean, lighthouses and lobster rolls to share with you during the trip or at least when I get home. I’ll be back in five days. Here’s my little ‘monster’ that I’m on my way to see. She loves Hallowe’en so I don’t think she’ll mind the reference to ‘monster’, although I have no idea what she wants to dress up as this year.
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.
The Greenest Christmas Tree Hunt Ever
….with very little snow on the ground
On Thursday the family who reside in Ontario all travelled to a Spruce Meadows Christmas Trees near Hamilton. It was very mild, sunny and there was little snow left on the ground. When Kevin and I arrived in our car we were the first of the family there and in fact we were the only people there for a short while. Apparently the weekend before the place was so busy that the entire field was filled with cars.
It didn’t take long before the rest of the family arrived, all wearing masks and ready to trek to the tree field. My daughter, Gaelan and her husband, Brendan were looking for a tall tree to fit into their Victorian style dining room while the rest of us were more content with much smaller trees.
After Brendan cut down the tree for their home Winnie was content to find any small patch of snow to play and chase after Olive.
Once we all cut down our chosen trees we headed back to the bundling area, had the trees netted and then loaded onto and into the cars. Normally we would have all gone back to Gaelan’s house for refreshments but this time we all went our separate ways.
Later that evening Winnie put the finishing touch on their tree. I hate to admit it but our tree is still in the back of the car.
