Saturday at Pt. Stanley

Susanne and I drove to Pt. Stanley on Saturday afternoon. The winds were strong and a lot of photographers are lakeside catching shots of the huge waves. We later drove over to the smaller beach on the east side of the pier to see how the surfers were doing...there had to be 20 out on the lake on a December afternoon...George

The Merry Market

The Kellogg's Lane Christmas Craft Market was well attended on Thursday evening...maybe too much so that we did not take in all the displays due to the crowds, but a nice outing...George

The tree inside the entrance to Kellogg's Place is huge.

Ilderton Christmas Craft Show

We had a nice visit to Ilderton for their Christmas Craft Show on Saturday evening. A really nice mix of vendors with a few nice bonfires to keep one warm. This is a show one should take in next year...George

Three bonfire pits are placed in the middle of the event for one to warm up on a really cool evening.

Prince Albert's Diner - London, Ont.

 

A last look at the Prince Albert's Diner the second last day of November 2021. It was to close at the end of the month. Not sure if someone will take over this retro diner which has been there for over 20 years. I remember having a nice meal there with my kids a number of years back...George

Magic of Lights - Longwoods Christmas Light Display

-add a can of red kidney or black beans (I added one can of each)

-one jar of salsa, any kind.

mix all together while heating then add chopped green onions while serving and shredded cheese.

Memories from GBYC

I found a file of photos I took probably 10 years ago in Grand Bend. This view is a sunset fleet on its way in to the harbour.

My daughter Michelle out on the lake on our sailboat with what looks like I cup of rum.

Trees all down!

Today was a busy day in our backyard. We had three trees taken down that where kind of a messy bunch. Glad the leave had not fallen yet...not much clean up. Of course one of our grand-kids did not go to school so he came over to check out the action...George

The audience watching the trees fall...Michelle and William.

Top Down on Convertable one last time!

I normally don't take selfies but I did not have anyone to document my last run of the season.

Yesterday I put on a fresh coat of wax on my PT convertible. I then went for a short drive with the top down to top up the fuel. Although it was cool out, the heater was on it sure was fun. I hated putting the cover on when I got home...George

Visit to Grand Bend Today

All the boats are out at the GBYC.

I took a drive to Grand Bend to walk the beach and check out how the haul out went at the GBYC yesterday. Looks like all the boats are out. Lots of color today as I am thinking the tree colors are about peak now on the drive up...till arriving at the Bend still lots of green...George 

A pretty nice walk on the beach resulting in a good find of beach glass. I even found a heart shaped rock.
