Final Weekend Post

Can you take one more day of this? One more day of our weekend? Heck fire; the posts are lasting longer than the weekend.

But this is the final installment. Really. You believe me, don't you?

After spending much time at the Wool Warehouse, we decided to head north toward Almonte. The first stop was the Country Depot where I saw ...


... Canadian Olympic hockey work gloves. Yes Virginia, this is Canada.

There were a few jars of candles but nothing like the whole shelf of pre-Christmas inventory that I posted ... well ... pre-Christmas.


There are always signs at the Country Depot, and I always take some pictures. This one caught my eye. Too bad I didn't get around to posting it on Monday, Family Day an official holiday in Ontario.


Finally, we were on our way into the town of Almonte where I wandered around outside while waiting for my lady to thoroughly inspect the merchandise of another dress shop.


We took pictures of the almost-completely-frozen waterfalls. I should have had my longer lens.


Then it was time to sit for awhile in the Barley Mow, sip a little coffee, and taste a few appetizers. It's a rather nice view. I don't know what Heather is doing, but Brian is studying the menu, and Sue is donning her movie star glasses.


Th th th that's all folks.

Good saying and so family day is a national holiday,
The new things one learns, John. Even without a lo ger lens, the frozen falls were quite impressive.

Great sign and the stone building with the red window frames. Looks like a really nice trip. :)

I like the sign. Wouldn't want it on my wall, but the sentiment is a good one.

I can't believe I've gotten so behind on your posts...from the Art Gallery, ice sculpture on up to that gorgeous stone and brick building in this post. You might have to build on a room just to store your photos AC ! You have a definite photographers eye.
