I was in Keswick yesterday. At Tom and Jerry's. Sports Bar.. A small place in a neighbourhood plaza.
Grandson Mark engagement to Mindy was celebrated
Still in their twenties with harsh experience of life behind them.
Less than a decade ago, Mindy and her younger sister shared the lingering deterioration and death of their young mother.
Mark was on hand ,no more than seventeen himself.
Mindy with Mark's support has completed her education and acquired skills and employment.
Mark is now doing the same with Mindy's support.
My son Mark and mother Storm have been behind them.
It's not the foundation of choice for a relationship. But that which does not kill you makes you stronger.
Ii it odd Georgina should become a thread on the blog at this point. Or do things really happen for a reason.
Reference is made to Heritage and the Bamner's new editor. If any municipality in the Region can lay claim to a bona fide tourist interest on the basis of heritage, Georgina is it.
tGeorgina Island is a Reserve of A Mohawk Indian Band. In terms of history, we can't go back farther,
Sibbald's Point is the stuff of legend.
Lake Simcoe is unique among Canadian lakes..
Hostelries for carriage stops for the week long journey between Lake Simcoe and Toronto are among the oldest structures in The Region . Several were in the Town of Aurora until very recently.
Yesterday,we took the 404 to Ravenshoe Rd and there was Keswick, not ten minutes from the Town of Newmarket.
I was reminded of a highway link proposed south of the lake to Highway 400 that never happened. A rare wild orchid grew in the swamp.
The Honorable Joseph Snow was Transport Minister at the time.
He was friends with Whipper Billy Watson and other wrestling professionals in the community at the time.
On another thread, my dismissive friend Jeezy asks ......Are you saying Jews are not white?
I respond with another question....Are you saying Jews are not an ancient Tribe of the Land of Judea in the Middle East.
And an answer.....They are not of Anglo Saxon Vikings variety, that's for sure.
And why should that matter?
It doesn't matter at all. Just a case of sour grapes from the usual source.
ReplyDeleteThe man's name was James Snow (as in the eponymous Parkway).
ReplyDeleteThe first female mayor of Georgina, I hope she turns up in a great outfit for the South Lake Gala & blows all those pastels away.
