Travels of Bob & Sharon: Mother's Day to Midland

Celebrating Mother's Day with Mom

...and Bob

Loved the food!

Next day...Mother's Day with Aunt Dorothy (left), Bob and
Jack with their Mom Helen at Jack and Barb's home
in Ingersoll

By May 16th, the house was spotless, the van and car packed and we were off in our convoy of two, to Penetanguishene and our boat TULAW. We have missed her and were very excited to be back on the water.

Our welcome party included this little barn swallow, perched
on the rail

The rest of the greeters in the channel in front of our boat

Always something going on here. This is the remote-controlled
travel lift taking a boat to the launch area and past our friends,
Linda and Warren's boat 'Hectic Day', sadly still on land getting
a few repairs done prior to launch.

We were thrilled to have my sister Jan and husband Elliot visit us for a fun, albeit very short visit. They drove from Miramichi, New Brunswick to visit Mom and Jan's daughter Tara and son in law Tom. On their way home they came to see us, on their way to visit other rele's and friends along the way. We really appreciate them taking the time to stop by.

Out on the water highway, headed for the town of Midland
in the next bay, we find increasing activity on the water

.....and in the air. This guy is coming in low for a landing and did
so, right behind us. He keeps his plane parked right
outside his home on the bay.

Nice!

Pretty views from Central Marina in downtown Midland

doo, doo doo, doo doo...keep that chin flat!

Always perfect sunsets

There are gorgeous walking paths around Georgian Bay and as we
take one of our strolls by the water, we find this curious fellow.
I took this shot with my telephoto, expecting him to leap at any second
