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.

hmm, why do the first pictures look dark and the last ones fuzzy.

The first pictures were taken with a flash but I'm surprised that they look dark. They aren't dark on my computer. On your dad's old computer, the first ones look overexposed. The last photos were part of the "camera wars" (Margot expression) where I was trying without a flash. I think they were a high ISO. I was going to improve them in Photoshop but might not have got around to that for another week or so... and there would have been complaints!

I guess you didn't get too many pictures of Ella since she was so grumpy, but that's kind of a crappy picture of me with her.

Uh oh! Other than your hair in front of your eyes, which I thought was the style, I didn't think it was too bad!

Thanksgiving 2022

We gathered with Mark’s parents and Megan Paul and Tom at Mark and Margot’s place in Barrie. I did a selfie with Josh’s phone. Josh and Ella Megan, Paul and Tom wore masks when they were not eating Note Tom's special mask Mark's parents, Dolores and Bob At the table. Unfortunately my head is in front of Tom. Bob and Dolores had stayed there to look after the dogs while Mark, Margot, Joshua and Ella were in Europe. During that time, Bob, looking for something to do, washed all the wine glasses in the chandelier. Margot bruléed sugar on top of the pumpkin pie. It was the best ever. Disappearing fast! The salted caramel apple tart, which Margot also made, had an extra good flavour. Guess who cleaned up!

A November Walk

To make the most of the nice fall weather which was about to end, Megan suggested we meet for a walk at the Brickworks. Because there is a market on Saturday, it was difficult for Paul and I to find parking. We had to wait until we could find someone who was leaving. In the photo Tom is on a wall above the valley of the Brickworks, which was a quarry in the past for the red brick of Toronto. Tom, Megan, Paul and Paul on the wall. Megan’s Dutch tandem bike was of interest to some of the market goers. No problem parking with a bike.

A Busy Week

On Friday Paul and I, Carole and Roy went to Gary’s new place on Sturgeon Lake near Fenelon Falls. Gary is a member of the Toronto Bicycle Network (TBN). When the large winterized cottage came for sale beside his cottage, he decided to buy it and sell his house in Toronto. He has kept his original cottage as well. His children and grandchildren like to visit. Carole and Roy took their bikes and firewood for Gary. Paul and I brought our bikes and Charles (also a member of the club, and a minister)  Charles was minister at this church one summer. There are 4 churches, each a different denomination, in one block in Fenelon Falls Next we visited the local farmer’s market to check on the butter tarts. We then rode10 km on the trail to a chip wagon for lunch., plus 10 km return. Charles is not going very fast these days. It was a very slow ride. BUT …the next time Charles comes, Gary will take him on his ATV. (Gary has a few of them) After the bike ride Gary took us for a boat ride on St...
