150 Years Old

On May 1st, Bancroft will be 150 years old. It's older than Canada. Hopefully the day will be sunny and we can attend the celebrations downtown.

Downtown Bancroft April 26, 2011. Sorry, no picture from 1861. ......... Yes, I know I'm old, but not that old.

When it rains for days we need to get out of the trailer and into dry spots. Our first stop yesterday was the Ministry of Ontario office in Bancroft to get Mary's new driver's licence ................

.....then on to "nofrills" for groceries .............

"McDonald's" for coffee  and a free paper, then home for soup and a sandwich. That killed the morning and kept us warm and dry. For those living in a trailer, you will appreciate our efforts to stay warm and dry.

Really, the only ones who appreciate this weather are these guys ................................................

Yes, the ducks are back and so are the showers. Here we have an expression - "April showers, bring May flowers" so next week should be sunny and the flowers are welcome to come out any time, we are ready for a change.

Finally, I'm always surprised to see things I've missed for years. I've driven past these remains hundreds of times, never saw them once, until today. It looks like an old stone wall, probably someone's cabin from years ago. You may need to enlarge the picture to see the wall, so much vegetation has grown over it.

Safe travels and stay dry. Happy Anniversary Rob and Sherri!!!!!!!
