Big trip to Carleton Place!

 We had a mission. The wool shop and the CCWG Livestock store (est. 1918(. The leather smells were amazing. They sell bird seed, as well.


This was the purpose of our trip: 

I quite like this building. It's very old. This is the equestrian store. Look at the old walls and beams!



For lunch, we went to St. James Gate Pub. We took the grandies there Grandsitting PD Day April 15th, 2016. 

It was dumping rain. I hopped out at the light and snagged a table while Joe parked the car. It was very noisy, so he took out his hearing aids. They can amp up the sound unbearably. We could barely hear one another. He ended up swinging his chair around to sit beside me so we could hear one another.


The food was good, I had leftovers. 

I took a panoramic photo of the mural (Shaun McGinnis – 2008) on 61 Bridge St. with my phone. It didn't quite take, it is a straight wall. If you biggify it, you can see a creepy man in a window. Carleton Place has a lot of murals.


People have their Hallowe'en decorations up. 









The new off-leash dog park outside Perth. It seems really busy. It's a great idea to put in a fence. There is an on-leash path around the property, as well. The old barn building was removed after they fell down. The swallows were out of luck! The old stone farm house was dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere, I believe.
