Local veg and garden... Learning an app...

After an hour lesson at the Apple store and another hour working on "personal projects" I found out what had happened to the apps that had disappeared from my iPad and learned how to use the BlogPress app for my blog. The apps had disappeared because I had downloaded them using another ID and password. The instructor advised me to make a chart of all my ID's and passwords. Perhaps I should also have simpler passwords. On the iPad it seems as if I am writing a book whenever I enter in the password.

BlogPress gave me a few problems because it kept malfunctioning. The instructor's advice was to take it off (which I then learned how to do) and to download it again. After the third try it worked. Neither of us knew why it didn't work the other two times. This app is an improvement from what I was using to upload photos on the Danube trip in the summer. Then, the photos came out as http and I had to guess where to type the words.





Picked up these from Steve at the corner. My first and only bike ride in over a month (but it was just around the block).




The garden in fall. This photo does not look as clear as it should; however, when I click to enlarge it, it is nice and clear. There is also an ad for BlogPress.

My next challenge will be to make the videos so that they can be seen on this blog when using the iPad. Apparently I have to send them through Youtube.

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...
