Fall Vacation
We had a great trip with perfect timing for the leaves as you can see from the pictures. We flew to Detroit, rented a car, and headed north, up through Michigan. We spent some time along the shores of Lake Superior, found an impressive waterfall and then crossed into Canada at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
We visited some beautiful drives we had seen before, bisited with cousins, Phillip Bailey and Marie Jolie, attended church in Thessalon and visited with beautiful Aunt Mabel.
Monday we headed toward Toronto. We wanted to visit Port Hope and Cobourg and found that they had grown so much, we could hardly find our way around.
We did find our hold house and had a long visit with the current residents, an interesting family who live part time there and part time in Los Angeles. The father is the cinamatographer on the TV show "24", for those of you fans out there. So we are not the only famous people who have lived there. We had a lovely afternoon visit with the Daignaults. Bob was one of the dentists John worked with those many years ago and we had lots of catching up to do. On Wednesday, we went to Toronto, stayed with Mavis (John's sister) and had dinner with her two daughters, Tammy and Tracy and their families and with our sister-in-law, Bev. We headed south then and went through Windsor, where we lived the first year we were married. It is hard to realize that we lived in Windsor 46 years ago, so it isn't surprising that it has changed a lot, but the mansions that are now where our little summer cottage used to be, make it difficult to picture.
It was a wonderful trip, but we are always glad to get home and back to what passes for normal around here.
