Inexpensive Waterfront Dining!

It's been busy lately, so my wife and I decided to catch some time away from the phone and computer and head out for an hour today to have a picnic at the beach in nearby Tweed, Ontario. Sure, April 2nd is a bit early for that sort of thing up here in Ontario, Canada, but we had the whole place to ourselves, except, of course, for the seagulls who stared at us as we ate our sandwiches and quietly thought about the more generous people who would follow us in the summer season.

We managed to find a table that was high and dry, but some of the others were in places that will be wonderful in a month or two, but were a bit damp right now -





As I took this picture and thought about the areas where flooding is causing suffering and loss, it was nice to see an example where it didn't really matter.

There will be lots of time for more picnics soon.

Bob, yes, there will be plenty of time for picnics.  The weather was great today and it did bring back memories.  I talked to my son briefly on the phone (he's in Owen Sound), and he said the weather today and the location reminded him of our trip to Prince Edward County (we took a picnic and stopped over at Sandbanks and Lake on the Mountain a few years ago .... so I said we'd do it again soon).  I can't wait. :)

Bob, I just hate it when you have to wear hip boots to a picnic - and you're not even going to be fishing! :-)

Hi Mike. I think fishing might be an option!
