Babysitting in Barrie

Image
Mark and Margot were invited to their friends' place for dinner and to play a murder mystery.  Joshua enjoyed wheeling around my suitcase. Ella was fine just as long as she didn't have to go to bed.  Time for a hug. Since Ella refuses to take a bottle, Margot had to come back to feed her between dinner and the murder mystery. She readily went to sleep after Margot put her to bed. Ella was glad to have her Mom back the next day. Meanwhile Joshua decided to read himself a story.

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving dinner was at Mark and Margot's this year. It's time for Ella to go to bed. Night night, Joshua. The kids are asleep.  Dinner was good. "Chip" and "Old Block" Hmmm. Not so good. Another picture? I think this one's better.

Casa Loma with the Retired Teachers' Camera Club

The camera club of the R.T.O meets monthly at various places around the city. I was able to get to this meeting by a 10 minute uphill bike ride from where we are living right now. A view of the CN Tower from Lady Pellat's bedroom. Lady Pellat's sitting room has been nicely redecorated in the period style. Sir Henry was forced to auction off most of the original furniture.  It was such a beautiful day that we spent most of our time in the garden. A couple of monarchs were flitting around. This one stayed still long enough for me to try a macro shot. Trying out the "super macro" on my new camera. A discussion about where we should take the next photo? Jeannie and Jim. Jeannie belongs to the Don Mills Camera Club which sound like an interesting group to join. Jim organizes the R.T.O. camera club outings. The yellow flowers go with the bike jacket.
