HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Today we're celebrating my 65th birthday.  Instead of a rainy day, it was a sunny day and a beautiful travel day on the Georgian Bay.  About an hour away from Stairs Island the Bay turned a sort of emerald/turquoise color -- my photos don't do it justice.   The water here is very clean and so clear you can see down about 10 feet.

We're in the town of Britt, Ontario at St. Amant's, a family-owned marina complex that includes hotel rooms, a summer resident mobile home park, and a marina with a restaurant, grocery store, laundromat, and gas/diesel fuel. Included in the reasonably priced slip charges are electricity, water and wifi and we have a good tv connection here, too.

We had  lunch at the restaurant, which was quite good and we enjoyed yet another pickerel dinner this evening  which we both enjoyed immensely.  I got to do a load of laundry -- and you know how I like that -- and we both caught up on banking, email, the blog, and Facebook.  Sometimes you need a day like this -- a very happy birthday for me!  Thank you, Captain Wonderful!  Here are some photos of our travels today

The photo doesn't do justice to the color of the water -- it was emerald/turquoise and beautiful.

This is a very odd style cottage (as they're all called) for this area

  1. Happy Birthday to all the Leo's which we know are superior. Yesterday 7/27 was also my (Dick) birthday but a few years older than you Celeste.
    Glad you met up with Mike and Kathy on Queen Kathleen.
