1. Daycation Sept. 27/28th Frontenac

It was a lovely day. Another 30 C. one, very hot. (This morning the thermometer is at 2 C.!)
JB thought we could go for lunch at the Waterfront River Pub and Terrace. This is the drive there... From there we went to Picton, in Prince Edward County for another swim and a sleepover. More on those tomorrow!

I love the lakes, farms, homes (large and small), and the scenery. Many homes were decorated for October! The corn is tall. The traffic was crazy. Passed twice in the same few minutes, we WERE doing the speed limit! Sunshine, lakes and sedimentary rock. Not very exciting, but a lovely drive.

Drive to the St. Laurence

June 7th, after checking out hubby's family gravestones, we drove down to the water.

There is something about water. First we drove by RMC.



 On the way in we spotted these swans.  On the way back, we saw them again. Hubby offered to turn around, but by they time I got back, walking along the highway, they were in the marshes! This is a drive-by shooting, through hubby's window as we were leaving!


The water was still really high after spring melt and rains.

Trip to Chesterville, Alexandria, Apple Hill

Yes, we left at 9:30 a.m., and arrived home by 7 p.m.,

Chesterville to donate items to the museum, visit the LCBO (where JB worked in the 70s), and visit the war memorial (93 km, 75 minutes)
Alexandria for lunch, see below. (40 minutes, 54 km).
Apple Hill for the Bee Meadow Fundraiser (20km, 20 minutes).
I shall try to post these a few at a time! It was a grand day, with lots of things to view there and back.

There were a few worrisome events: the car passing us on the right in the gravel, as we turned left; the cyclists crowding the traffic lane; the motorbike who pulled out in front of us.



My pet peeve, cyclists clogging the roads.

Alexandria for lunch: Georgian House Gourmet Cuisine

It was wonderful. I had venison, hubby had a dairy-free, yeast-free, beef wrap! An amazing setting, under big trees. Our server is also from Chesterville, where hubby spent his early years.

Very French town, with its proximity to the Quebec border.

Vulnerable Road Users 

Vulnerable Road Users, include young people on motorcycles! We watching him carefully, as he pulled out in front of us, as we were driving. He hugged the centre line, then tried to pass a car on an uphill, while the car was turning right into a driveway.

Kemptville Restore Bear!
