Today is a cloudy day and a little dampish, and the temp never made it past 15C; so, while we know it was 19 in Ontario today, don't gloat for too long cuz tomorrow we are getting 24 and sunny for a number of days.
Went driving this morning past a few of my (Karl) old haunts from long ago. About 25 years ago a friend and I bought a house (cottage) down here so I am somewhat familiar with parts of the city. But today was a disappointment cuz the old neighbourhood has become quite run-down and neglected. And a lot of the old stores, favored restaurants, etc., are gone to make room for road widenings. And the big open beach has largely fallen prey to endless beachside condos, stores, and amusement parks, almost like a king-size Grand Bend, several miles long.
However, on the bright side, the beach is still as beautiful as ever and we'll be in the water once the temp goes up tomorrow.
Church today was a place called the Lighthouse, right next to the trailer park. Wow! True southern-style high-spirited, rousing music and atmosphere and a young minister with a huge sense of humour. It was great and certainly the most enjoyable service I've ever seen.
Tonight we are going out for Easter dinner, and have, of course, chosen an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet! I expect to be there for quite a while! Woo-hoo!! Even better cuz Joanne is buying ...
That's all for the moment, will write more later if i can still write after I waddle home from dinner.
