The Old and the Restless

Margot and Mark had Thanksgiving dinner at their house this year. Mark's parents, Megan, Paul N. and Tom, plus Paul and Sandra drove to Barrie for the occasion. Of course we had to have a before dinner concert. Margot accompanied Ella singing. Unfortunately, the light was not right for Ella's part of the photo An attempted game of chess. Home-made rolls by Delores and traditional potatoes by Sandra are on the table. Dinner must be ready. After dinner Megan and Paul tried to set up Tom's complicated Dr. Who game that he got for his birthday. The turkey was delicious. Thanks, Margot.

Summer is almost over. Besides biking in France in June, we have done a lot of biking with the Toronto Bicycle Network, Alicia came to stay with us for 12 days in July and we looked after Maggie for 1 week in August. With Alicia and Ella we went to Niagara Falls. On the "Hornblower". The "Maid of the Mist" is now on the American side. After staying overnight with a view of the falls so that we could see the fireworks we drove the next day past the whirlpool. Highjinx at Fort George. After "learning" about the war of 1812 we visited Daryl and Jane for lunch. Back in Toronto Ella, Alicia and Sandra took the GO train to visit the aquarium. A visit to Barrie for two days. the first item of business was to get a permanent. On Sunday we met Megan, Paul N. and Tom for a bike ride on Toronto Island. Above is the trip back on the ferry.
