          Just another nice day here in paradise and loving this weather, warming up again for a few days. Nice walkabouts early morning then ran a few errands, home for a wonderful light lunch.
          Read for a bit then decided to make a nice country drive (about 20 minutes) to Bobcaygeon and stop by the cemetery to say Hi to my Dad at his final resting place who has been gone now for 20 years and his wife Shirley who passed away in 2011. Have so many great memories of wonderful times we had over the years and many of them in Bobcaygeon.
       While in town I drove around checking out some of my old haunts here and reliving a few memories of way back then. Had to stop by the Lift lock #32 just because, that's what I always did every time I was in town, some 40 odd years ago. Not a lot has changed still has the small town cottage country feel in most places.

Bigley's across the river
nice store but too pricey for us

the old swing bridge is still there on the main street
and operational for the tall boats

Main reason I made the trip here
to remember my Father 

      On the way back I stopped at Kawartha Winery to see if they had an Apple wine that Suzie likes, and yes they did so picked up a bottle for her to savour.

One very huge Inukshuk here

        Now back home to enjoy more reading in the shade until our neighbours began "Happy hour". So not wanting to be anti social we joined them for a while. Great conversation and a few snacks we all had a good time as usual, soon this years Happy hours with these people will be done, we depart here Thursday morning.

yummy snacks

        Eventually we head home about 5 o'clock preheat our Weber Q to grill a nice pork loin roast, about 45 minutes to 150f internal temp. Add to our salad and was exactly what we wanted and leftover too= perfect.

tasty , yes

      After supper while out side reading, we heard, then saw a pileated wood pecker again, chopping away at the trees looking for dinner. This is twice this week we have spotted him/her I assume the same one.

        Now as I took the garbage out I was able to catch a bit of a nice sunset through the trees, best we can get here.

    While enjoying more of this wonderful warm evening Jim and Sharon walked by with Max , Suzie got another doggie fix. What a great way to wind up another wonderful day.

Max wants to be petted by Suzie
no problem there.

      This warm summer weather has come back again for a few days, that we don't mind at all. Soon wrapping up our stay here then relocate for a while, just cause we can, and love the life style. Very dark now at 9pm but still quite nice out here, but time to head inside for the night.

        Thanks once again for stopping on by.
