Trip to Carleton Place

First stop was an office store. Printer ink. Next stop, lunch! Our normal lunch date is Thursdays, but this has been a week for all of us. Imagine, summer on the patio. Soon! 




Foreshadowing... Just to remind me! This was in the fall at this restaurant, Boulton House. 


July 2022

Virgin Caesar for him! Chardonnay for me!

The prime areas up stairs, looking out over the falls, were all booked or reserved! But it was nice and quiet downstairs where we sat.



An interesting backpacker.


This is so typical of the early farms.

I like looking up housing prices.



2 bedrooms, 4 baths: House for sale!   
$997,000  

They've cleared the land to build here, including blasting. "Coming soon, McNeely Landing."
There will be: 
  • 400 homes on 60 acres
  • 2-storey singles, bungalows, townhomes
  • price range: $579,000 to $939,000
  • another phase: multi-residential apartment rentals.



The land beside it, 24 acres, is also for sale.
Asking $7.2 million.

A barn with hay.


This place had a fire. Something is going on.

I love their tights!

We were happy to head home. The snow had melted. The tulips will be OK!

Today we have snow, maybe rain. What the heck. Poor froggies looking for love! This storm is moving north west.

What a terrific day out! The restaurant looks terrific and you look wonderful, very happy. I bet you are as sick of snow as we are (though I'd like to think we are finally done). I hope yours melts soon!

Your lunch venue looks great. I like looking at house prices too, but shudder and am glad that we already own our home.

They say that Sunday will be nice. I hope!

Towns spread out , farms get swallowed up in new developments, that first home, only 2 bedrooms? And 24 acres for an astronomical price, probably a developer will subdivide and you will get another 24 mansions.

That looks really nice. I love all the snow because we are getting hot here.

Our Summer favorite eating on the patio place is not open yet, hopefully soon.

Love those tights also!
Building is going on in the town 10 miles from us. They are building an apartment complex on the old County Shop land which they acquired for little $$ as they had to remediate the land before they built. It will be a nice place with 65 units...much needed and shops on the first floor!

There is also a plan to take an old dairy farm and put in townhomes and single family homes along with a splash pad and pickle ball courts!

I like it when there is good planning involved.

PS those prices are insane!

Who can afford to buy a house at these prices?
