Point of View

Where are we, and what is Sue looking at?


Long time readers should soon be able to answer correctly: if not the name of the place, at least what it is.  You may already see enough in the background to inform you. If you are a newer reader, since the pandemic anyway, you likely don't know although I have posted about it once, just last fall.

Now you see more of the background, but you are looking away from what my lady is looking at. Perhaps my lumberjacket-style coat helps although that thought just comes to me now.

Now, take a gander at our plates.



Yes, we are at the sugar shack – Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp. It's located deep in the hinterland, about 45 minutes from home.

Although the maple syrup season is all but done for the year, they keep the restaurant going all year, and this was our traditional spring pilgrimage. We often make the excursion twice a year — once in spring and once in autumn — often, but not always.

We put off our spring trip until Heather was visiting because we have visited several times with her, and it's an experience that we all enjoy. After the snowfall of the library talk, the day was sunny and also warm – in a modest Canadian-April way if you understand.

So, what had Sue been staring at in the first photo? It is behind her in this photo.


Yes, it was the grand fireplace that caught her attention, especially since her photo theme this week is Point of View. So she got her phone to the base of the fireplace and took a picture looking up, which is a grand point of view, don't you think?


And . . . we made a selfie with Sue's phone. I held it, and Sue triggered it from her watch.


Nice trip, good food, great company: what an enjoyable and satisfying few hours

Such a beautiful place for a delightful breakfast.

Fun points of view there...a bit different than usual. I think I'll try it sometime. I just sit here salivating over your beautiful sweet syrup. I had Easter Brunch (prepared here) of French Toast, but my syrup came from Ohio. Out of maple trees I'm sure...but not as French as yours!

Well that looks like fun. Nice time together.

As soon as I saw the background, I thought 'they've gone out for breakfast!'

You know the last time you wrote about that restaurant I looked it up and bookmarked it. Someday we will make the trip there though it won't be a day trip for us.

Quite a fireplace.

We were there on Monday with a group of the daughter's friends. Love that place. A lot.
Neat, Sue. I don't think I would have thought of that.
Two very talented sisters and talented escort.
Hmm. French toast AND pancake. Decadent.

Yes, I remember that place from the last time you posted about it. Remember it for the maple syrup! Gorgeous fireplace!

Lovely place. I'd have to nap in front of the fireplace after a meal like that. Seems like it's always winter in Canada. Linda in Kansas

Love it when you go there.

I love pancakes and maple syrup. By the time maple syrup gets out here it's very pricey.

I do like the perspective in the fireplace photograph a lot!

I miss eating out. That said, JB cannot eat pancakes, so we won't be going there.
I love the fireplace. Thank you for showing it.

You made me smile too with this post.
