Beautiful sunrise on another warm day , not as hot as its been but still in the high 70's F. (feeling like 81F) A nice walkabout the quiet village this morning and then shortly after 9 am Suzie hopped in the car to Woodstock about 30 minutes away to deliver 4 more of her Genealogy books.I was checking back on my blogs and found the first time we stayed here at Johns' was a Canada Day party July 1st 2011, They used to have some huge parties here with bands, fireworks and about 200 people, You can check this posting HERE from 2012 (lotsa pictures) ever since 2011 we have been camping here. But no more large parties.
What is Canada Day ?
July 1st is the Canada Day holiday, and commemorates the joining of Canada's original 2 provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the original Canada Province, now Ontario and Quebec) as one Nation in 1867.And all over Canada this is celebrated in many different ways. Every town village, city, campground etc. has some events going on and right here in the Village of Plattsville a celebration in the town park tomorrow only a few blocks from where we are parked. And will be a fun time and hopefully the weather co-operates. We will of course have to go just because we can and we are here.

| this is what is going on tomorrow |
 |
| a nice early start to another warm summer day |
 |
| I stared another John Sandford Novel |
 |
| Love the Canadian Flags lining Albert (the main street) look nice |
For supper tonight I thawed out some Lake Huron Pickerel (Walleye) and Suzie wanted fresh cut fries, no problem I can do this and we do love our fish and chips, especially local Pickerel. Fries cut up and rinse the starch out of them so they will fry up nice and crispy (fry twice) Fry Daddy preheated, and our Weber Q as well (too keep the fries warm while I do the fish), and some fresh asparagus, lemon and a grilled yellow pepper to go with it.

| finishing the fries |
 |
| grill the peppers, asparagus and lemon, fish just about done |
 |
| that was it quick and easy |
 |
| nothing like a fresh cooked lightly breaded pickerel dinner |
That was about it for most of our day now to enjoy more of this warm summer weather outside. Finish this posting back into our reading again, chat for a bit, listen to the birds and watch a few squirrels and bunnies running around. Before we call it a night in a couple of hours.
This sunset below I took last night about 9 pm just before heading inside. And maybe another one tonight will see what happens.

Where have we been this Summer ?
I like nice quiet celebrations. It's so dry down here that I really worry about fires from fireworks. Dinner looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is a small town so will not be too big a celebration, not too dry here and is actually out on by the fire department across the street.
DeleteDinner was excellent thanks.

It's about time.

ReplyDeleteThank you JO
DeleteIf it wasn't for blogs I would in the dark about many things. Thank you for letting know what Canada Day is all about.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Ms. B glad that you enjoy reading all our blogs.
DeleteHappy Canada Day - the fish and fries look very good
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry , was very tasty.
DeleteHappy Canada Day! Your little town does look quiet, but good for them for closing and enjoying the long weekend. That's the way it's supposed to be! Nice day you both had and then to top it off with that tasty looking dinner! YUM!
ReplyDeletePlattsville has always been very quiet especially on the summer weekend almost like a ghost town. A perfect day and a tasty dinner.
DeleteCongratulations Canada!!!!! Interesting, your advertisement shows the Serial Griller food truck. We have the same named one here in Tucson, which has now opened a restaurant. Dinner looks extra delicious ... I'm going shopping for a fry daddy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy have never heard of the Serial Griller before but plan on check him out.
DeleteDinner was wonderful , we do enjoy our Fry Daddy Works great for the 2 of us and not too big for the RV.
That looks like an incredible dinner. Surely do wish I could get walleye around here, but not to be. Wondering why no more big Canada Day parties, they sounded like a lot of fun. July 4th here is quieter as well, especially with family away and working and our holiday mid week rather than a long weekend. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWe do love our Walleye when here in Ontario , right from the Indian Reserve.
DeleteThe parties stopped when they split up Lea was the party animal and organizer, Just John here now and his son sometimes. And of course us hanging around as well.
Happy Canada Day. Looks like you are going to have a fun day in your little town.
ReplyDeleteThank you same to you guys, we are heading out shortly .
