Weekend at Upper Canada Village
Big plans this weekend. It is the War of 1812 Military Re-Enactment Weekend at Upper Canada Village!
Step right into the authentically recreated camps of the British and American army during the War of 1812. You will find craftspeople and artisans to add colour to the whole show. It all culminates in a re-enactment of the Battle of Chrysler Farm- which actually took place right on that spot.
Unfortunately, I will not be attending as I am heading into Montreal. Perhaps my daughter and son-in-law will head over with Mike.
Who knew... It looks like it was a pretty big deal back in the day!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Thinking of View
I was remembering our friend View yesterday. He was always entertaining and told so many "groaner jokes". He sure is missed around here!
Have a punny day!!

Another update
I'm not moving to the old fashioned apartment, after all. The owner is much too precious about her stuff, so I would never feel at home there. I found another one, with modern furniture, well equipped, and just across the street from cousin Julia. I'll take some photos when I move. We're supposed to sign the contract on Friday, please keep your fingers crossed!

Hasta la vista, amigos!
Last Friday evening I went to Granada with Julio, his wife and their daughter. Julio could be an excellent tourist guide, he gave me a very comprehensive history lesson! Granada is simply wonderful. We're in Armilla, about ten minutes away on the metro. It's more laid back than Granada but it has everything for everyday life.
I'll keep you posted as and when things happen. Here's a nice view on the Sierra Nevada, featuring the very beautiful Alhambra Palace:
Hasta la vista, amigos!

Imaginary friends
Did anyone ever have an imaginary friend? Yours truly had one. I am not sure what made me think about it, but my mind went down that road so I thought I would discuss it. Picture the year 1963...
Dinner is on the table. Mom sits down next to three year old Roxie. Suddenly, a shriek. Get up! You are sitting on my friend! Mom jumps up, confused, sees nothing on the chair. Roxie, what are you talking about?! My friend Rebo is sitting there, I responded. My parents were cool and proceeded to set a place for Rebo. He joined us all the time after that. At the park, bedtime, and at restaurants. Going out to eat was interesting as the server had to be briefed on his existence so a place setting could be added. He always ate the same food as me.We shared Kiddie Cocktails. I actually remember this. Then he was gone as fast as he showed up.

I am not really that weird, am I? 😉
