Savannah Revisited

Since the Forsyth Inn was having a Valentine's special Paul and I, along with Maureen and Ramsay who live in Atlanta, Georgia, decided to celebrate. There was, apparently, an offer to have the beds strewn with rose petals but neither Paul nor Ramsay took advantage of this "special".

As I was trying to think of a theme for the photos, Maureen suggested verandahs.

Here they are.

Dressed warmly as we leave the Inn.

Although tiny, this house still has its shaded verandah.

Note the ivy on the steps of this mansion.

Maureen, walking by this house with the double staircase. One side is for women, and the other is for men (so that they would not catch a forbidden glimpse of an ankle or leg under a hooped skirt).

Row houses have verandahs too.

A lot of work has gone into restoring these houses to their former glory.


Rather than having the beds strewn with rose petals, a far better choice was to reserve at Noble Fare, a small restaurant which had a delicious 9 course, special dinner for Valentine's day.

There is an anomaly in the above photo. Can you find it?

It's a very picturesque city. Not sure what the anomaly is.

I don't know what it is either. Can we get a hint?

Now I see. You photo shopped yourself in, so now your arm is half wine-glass.

Sandra was actually in the picture. But the picture in which she looked best was not the picture in which the others of us looked best. She she cut herself out of the photo in which she looked best and posted it into the picture in which the rest of us looked best.

However, she had moved slightly in between pictures and so half of the wine glass got left out of the composite picture.

So, is the half wine glass that remains "half full" or is it "half empty"?

I stand corrected.

Sandra put her only picture at the table into this picture which was the best picture of the rest of us. [She was not in this picture originally.]

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

Image
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...
