Lunch out!

My client cancelled Thursday. Joe suggested we go out to lunch or dinner. Off we went to Smiths Falls for lunch.

I've noticed this silo over the years. They tore down the top and seem to be rebuilding it. You can see someone using the snowblower.


The river is frozen over, it's got snowmachine tracks and fishing huts on it. You just have to embrace winter!

Boats in their coats tucked up for winter:




Parking lots have lots of snow piled up, I noticed on our first stop. It may that some this week. Slowly, I hope. It's going to be above zero this week. A slow melt is much preferable!



Icicles drip from some homes, towns are struggling with snow removal. 


We tucked in for lunch. 



What I like about ordering a large, as opposed to a lunch-sized meal, is I take half home for dinner the next night. 


We drove through Lombardy. This home, on 0.5 acres, is for sale again. There was an open house Sunday. It has a lot of history. My 97-year-old client (who passed away during COVID of natural causes) told me about its past uses. Bakery, post office, the addition was removed as it was well beyond its best before dare. 

Otter Creek Antiques: Store Deconstruction in Lombardy Prior to deconstruction, Nov., 2018.

It used to be Otter Creek Antiques! It was renovated, and again Lombardy home for sale

There is an Open House Feb. 23rd, 2025

Let's all have us a good week. Calmer heads prevail. We've a 🇧🇲 provincial election for Thursday. I am not hopeful.

I fear the worst too. The Libs and NDPs must find a way to end this vote splitting.

I wonder what they are going to do with that old silo. It looks like a sitting area of some sorts.
While I love old homes, I would not want to own one. The icicles tell a tale of poor heating and insulation which will lead to water damage and rot. Ugh!

My daughter does the same thing when she goes out to eat. Then she has leftovers for the next day. So much snow.

I voted at the advance poll but I don't think my vote will make a difference.

You both look wonderful and healthy - and it looks like just a fabulous day out! Good luck with your election.

Oh boy, what a lovely luncheon you all had. As I decided to go ahead and stop for fried chicken on the way home from the dentist this morning, I said to myself "at your age kid, who cares about the fat content, go ahead and live a little!"

Good luck with your provincial elections, I hope its outcome will surprise you. That's a nice road trip you took and stop over for yummy looking food. That silo looks like it has a deck chair on the top? I really like the home for sale. Loved those stone buildings but if we ever move (and I doubt we will at this point, it will be for a one floor level house. Enjoy the rest of your week!
