Canada Day, July 1st




Happy July 4th, to my American friends!

Entertaining our family (daughter/granddaughter this week, son & friend the last) has kept me busy and I am belated in posting our Canada Day - Gravenhurst Market photos.

It has been wet, cool and rainy. We have had some house issues, too. The eavestrophe has leaked; we have wall damage where we have had ants take advantage of the wet wood, and the refrigerator crashed. Praise the Lord for our wonderful 'peeps' who will fix us all up shortly. If we must support the local economy this way I feel satisfaction that they are all good folks and deserve our business!

The Gravenhurst Market had a prize for the best costumed proprietors. It was so much fun.

Here is Barb, at her empty bake table. Barb handed out 200 Canada Day pencils with her baked goods. It was a busy day.


Karla (left) was dressed to the nines. She came 2nd in the contest.

Then I caught one fellow (the sausage man has the water gun) using Barb's gun.


Then there was and a fellow who was trying to avoid being arrested. He has his hands up. The police were in line beside him.

It was a very busy day. Parking was tricky. Some of the tourists dressed for the day, too!



This lady had a terrific Birthday Cake Hat.

This couple had Canada Day caps, and he had a bright red t-shirt.


Lots of fun had by young and old.

The market looks great! Sorry about all of your disasters...what a lot at once. Hope things look up soon!

Well, the refrige isn't working well, we await a part. The work order is in for the eavestrophe damage. But things will get repaired soon! Granddaughter did a number on the screen spline, but we will fix that, too! :-)
