Prime Rib Steak


On the weekend we BBQ a prime rib steak which turned out well although I think it could be cooked a bit longer. Salt and Pepper added then 5 minutes on each side. Back to the first side add a roasted garlic and oil spread done prior. Put on the opposite end of BBQ to the head for 20-30 minutes...medium will take a bit longer. BBQ a lemon rubbed with oil and salt and pepper...it actually is good over the steak...George



Football Season


Our grandson Kingston is back into his Football season. Here he is at one of the games we attended...George

Footlong Hot Dogs

We decided to make our own hot dogs the other day after picking up foot longs in St. Thomas. Great red hots and nice fresh buns...George


Ate the last one tonight. Fried onions and tomatoes with a bit of mustard works well.


Beach Time?

The gang is all here.
The other evening the seagulls outnumbered the crowd on the beach in Pt. Stanley. It was a week night and Mackies is only open on weekends now...have to go home and make our own hot dogs...George

Tree growing in a Tree?


Susanne noted this small evergreen tree going in a joint in a much larger tree. Did a squirrel leave something behind a few years back...George



Port Dover - The end maybe?


At the marina basin there is a group of sad looking boats that it will be hard to see them ever back in the water...George

This boat might be kept away from the water and used as a land cottage.


This wooden boat has rot holes below the waterline.


Willie's - Pt Dover


A visit to Pt. Dover took us to the waterfront and a foot long hot dog, onion rings and fried pickles at Willie's...not to busy for a Saturday....George



Magic Dragon

Brad's old boat Magic Dragon did not make it into the water this year in Sarnia.

While at Pt Edward we checked out the boat and came across my friends Brad's past C&C boat on the hard...George

Purdies Fish

An order of fish only.
This week we went to Point Edward for fries under the bridge but in the end got fish at Purdies. A nice fill of fish. They give you lots if one orders only fish...George

Elberta Farms

A goat is taking a break from the crowds.
A trip yesterday to the Paris, Ontario area took us to this neat little market which one could feed the farm animals. It is located on Dundas St. near the hwy into Brantford...maybe 10 minutes outside Paris. The apple donuts and bread was a nice treat...George


Kids are feeding the animals.
