Oh, To Be Turning Four

The lineup consists of cake, water balloons and 6 rowdy friends – when you’re turning four, could life be any better?

Come to think of it, life never changes – cake, 6 rowdy friends and water balloons, great at any age…

and if you get to put on a crown after blowing out the candles – PERFECT! (One day I want to put on a crown and be a princess!)

If I hadn't posted this, what kind of Nana would I be? Happy Birthday (party) Princess Maddy!

Thanks to Mom for the photos as I have not fmcy ... (found my camera yet!)

Summer 2013: One Last, 'Long Day' Ride

With the final weekend of summer 2013 staring me in the face I took to the road for one last ‘long day,’ Friday, take it while you can day, great day for a ride day ... and I headed out under a shroud of fog to meet Ron and Joanna: our destination, Bancroft.

Ron has been riding ‘forever,’ admitting that he has been riding since before it was necessary to have a license to ride a motorcycle and Joanna has just started riding this season. Joanna rides a VStar so I knew we’d hit it off. 

Our first stop, the local farmer's market. I bought radishes as big as apples (sorry no pictures, I ate them already), Ron bought jam.

Ron and Joanna are both Port Perry area artists and our plan was to visit the Bancroft Art Gallery to catch a glimpse of artist Gretel Boose show of sculpture and paintings and of course to have lunch (whoops, ate that too!)

Home ... to Bancroft and back, with a little bit of the road less traveled thrown in - just over 400 km. The last long day ride for summer. Think I will sleep in tomorrow.
