Blue Mountain, OntarioAugust 10-12,2014

Sunday morning we were on the road again!


This time our destination was Club Intrawest Blue Mountain located at the ski village near Collingwood, Ontario. I had never been in this area north of Toronto and was curious to go. since I had a time share with Club Intrawest I was able to arrange a stay.


here upstairs you can see our unit


And our view


It is a very pretty development








The units are lovely-this is our living room!


and now you are on the deck


A short walk away is the ski hill (a bit short by BC standards) and the village where we walked after a nice swim (not that I could really swim with my splint re my fractured wrist). Thee village is quite new as is the surrounding development and reminded me a bit of Tremblant.


I always like to find flowers


And after dinner the sky was amazing


And can you see the Super Moon hiding below?






I snapped as we walked "home"





The view from the balcony below

Day 4 Peterborough, August 9,2014-a market and a play

Saturday was market day.


But not until we had breakfast-Holly missed out on the French toast though!


I love to look at markets


and there was lots to see





From candles to beautiful flowers


And of course performers


Those Mexican omelette looked delicious


And prices for flowers were reasonable





Looking for a gift for a fisherman?


Or a matching hat and mittens?





plums and peaches?


It was rather warm but we motivated Holly for a walk


and then we were off to the Fourth Line Theatre


Where first we had a nice picnic dinner you can buy there


And then we enjoyed the play, Wounded Soldiers-below is the battle scene


This building played the backdrop of the hospital and a home for cripples. The play was excellent and we learned about another side of this senseless war.


The sky after the performance though in the ride home I wasn't able to catch the red sky setting


But having caught a glimpse of the Super Moon at the end of the show


we went on a walk when we got home to try to get a good picture


This was the best I did with my iPhone!


another great day!

Peterborough Day 3-going on a boat ride...

Well I am not good about remembering to take pictures of people though I did take lots of children when I taught.





Come to think of it I didn't take this one-Anne's husband, Barrie did but here we are after more than 40 years of friendship!





We were having lots of fun exploring the "Best Gift Shop in Eastern Ontario", Lockside Trading Post at Young's Point.









































A fun store and a very pretty spot and I was able to observe how a lock works!





Lock closes and water begins to rise

















And now boat is on other side...





Due to lock system you could conceivably go all the way to Atlantic Ocean from here or to Gulf of Mexico from here!





Here's a map of this system





Our lunch spot





And then we went to wait for our cruise on Stony Lake





At a lovely resort























But it was time for our cruise

















The house below was used in the soap opera All My children when Erica was kidnapped.















































Below is the glass boat house






We really enjoyed our cruise and our day!
