Salt n peppa

making dessert... what sweet talent!

We went down to "the Beaches" one Saturday. It's where Queen street runs east-west about 4 blocks away from the lake. Along the lake is a lovely boardwalk and beaches. The homes between the lake and Queen street are fascinating... some look like they were transplanted from the Scottish countryside (at least that's what I think). Others are very hip and modern. But all of them tantalizingly well kept, and we just walked slowly and stared at them. We ate at a restaurant called Whitlock's, in an old building that was built over 100 years ago. The floors look like they're original. When we paid, they gave us a post card with a picture of the building on it. In the picture, (taken in 1896), the building stands alone, and you can see a horse pulling a sleigh down the street beside it. Now it's located on a street without an empty lot for miles in either direction. We ate on the patio, as that was my only requirement for which restaurant we chose. Esplendido! The picture of the rocks was taken on the beach after dinner. The second picture was taken on the patio.

What I'm missing these days...
