Bells Corners – there we were

Last week, we trucked into Ottawa to visit JB's aunt. There are many signs of fall: pumpkins in the fields, geese in the skies.



I like these posted speed signs.


This is where we had lunch, Bells Corners. It was a busy Friday around 1 p.m., we had a bit of a wait. Our poor aunt, they kept insisting she sit down, she uses a cane for balance, losing her sight and hearing, but she was perfectly capable of standing!


After lunch, we drove around. This (on the left) is where our family lived in 1981.


Lots of Hallowe'en decor.


We took her back home, and waved goodbye.


Our old church, where I we attended. I lef the Jr. choir, was the church treasurer, the Sunday School Superintendent, and sang in the choir, a lifetime ago.


Back on the road, the rec. centre.


Ah, city life: lineups for gas, and weird drivers.


We drove into Arlington Woods, where the hurricane wreaked havoc.


Back in Perth, the Senior's Complex is coming along. I've been taking photos, and our grandie thinks we should live there.


Then, the Darou farmhouse is well on the way for deconstruction.


Ah, the catalpa leaves!

I didn't think of getting down to Arlington Heights; I know the damage there was significant, and your shots bear that out.

It's fun to see that tennis bubble (I assume). I once played in one -- for one winter only. Then it was removed.
