Can I offer up some thanks here, after bragging a bit about my weekend?
Two girlfriends from Toronto came up 'to the country' for their Canada Day, and I was pretty proud to show off the new Collingwood. One of my buddies lives very near the waterfront Lake Ontario, and I wanted to show off a lake you can actually swim in. The weather, the town's timelines and mine all worked together for a simply perfect time together.
They arrived the afternoon of Canada Day, and after an afternoon in the sunshine, we walked to our amazing waterfront for the terrific (although it seemed short at 18 minutes) fireworks. Both were impressed with the waterfront re-do, and surprised there had been no access to the water there for so long.
Friday night, we had some of the best service, best food and nicest ambiance we'd all had in a long time (an enormous amount of red wine notwithstanding....) at one of the downtown patios. Now, this isn't one of the patios that's being forced to move tomorrow, so next year, weather permitting, we'll do it all over again.
Thanks, Mother Nature, for serving up a great weekend.
Thanks, Server Cassie, for putting up with our 'Sex and the City' fantasies and louder-than average voices.
And thanks to 'the wood' for the downtown and First Street renovations. They look great. Please don't do anything more for a while, though, while we all get used to it.
