A Day In The Park

On October 8th, a beautiful fall Saturday, Jeremy, Jennifer, Will and Ben met Holly, a professional photographer (check out her website at www.photosbyholly.ca -- her blog has the photos shown below) in Toronto’s High Park. The photo session was a gift from Jennifer’s sister, Heather. Below are some of the pictures taken by Holly that day. Nice work, Holly; and thanks, Heather!

Autumn Day with Jaye

On this beautiful autumn day, sunny and 18 degrees Celsius, John drove up to Georgetown to go for a walk with his daughter Meredith and granddaughter Jaye. On the way downtown, they stopped at a park so Jaye could have a swing. Then it was back in the stroller for Jaye, and the group continued their walk to the new cheese shop in town. After sampling some wonderful cheese, it was back to Meredith’s house and lunch time for Jay. Another excellent adventure on a splendid fall day!

Margaret-Ann’s New Ride

After nineteen-and-a-half years and just over 380,000 kilometres, Margaret-Ann’s 1992 Honda Accord was towed to its final resting place in Klunker Heaven on September 19th. Later that day, she and John went to the Mazda dealer in Brampton and test drove a Mazda2 GS (last year John bought a Mazda3 Sport GS there to replace his 1996 Honda Civic). Margaret-Ann picked up her new Mazda2 GS on September 28th and, although sad to say farewell to the faithful Accord, has really enjoyed the new car – Zoom Zoom!
