Wintergreen Resort, Blue Mountains
On Thursday, Sept. 11th I woke up at 7:50 when I heard my phone beep with Bill's message. If you think I slept in.........well, yes, but after going to bed at 11, I lay awake until 3 am! Not 100% sure why but I did have a cup of tea with our late (7 pm) supper. That is possibly the culprit.

| Good morning! |
So, today we had no commitment until 12:45 so we just enjoyed the morning hours until 11ish. We drove back to Collingwood and chose the EggSmart cafe for breakfast again. My choice this time was a Meat Lovers Scrambler and it didn't get a 'wow' but it was satisfactory.
From there, we drove to the Side Launch Brewing Co. to catch the Huronic charter for an hour and a half sightseeing tour of Georgian Bay.

What a great day to be ON the water. There were 13 of us on the ride, no bad luck there, and it was very enjoyable.

We were back at 2:30 and drove 10 minutes to the small town of Thornbury. We wandered into a 'yard' sale and we all bought something small and left as happy shoppers. One more stop in a downtown shop called Mimosas and we were advised of a thrift store called BVO. (Beaver Valley Org.)
 |
| Gayle and I enjoyed the top deck and met a photographer who obliged us with a photo. |
 |
| Audrey slipped down to the bow for a picture. |
We enjoyed it, even though it is a cramped store and bumped into a good friend by surprise. Michele was shopping with her sister so that was fun and very coincidental.
 |
| It was a casual ride so I took the helm for a bit. (not really but it looks good!) |
 |
| Just a few more pictures. This is Doug with his grandson. The following are his photos. |
 |
| His lighthouse pictures are wonderful! Yes, that is the Blue Mountains trails behind it. |

| The end of our ride |
Again, we all purchased something and then drove across the bridge again to The Mill. It was a recommended dining experience. 😉
 |
| A fun yard sale and thrift shop. The little book library provided me with a new book while I waited for the girls. |
I thought of my sweetie and ordered the Mill Burger with homemade fries. Oh my, they were delicious, competition for our home burgers. We hugged, snapped a selfie with Wendy and everyone headed home.
 |
| With a soft bun, it was messy but she provided me with a sharp knife. I skipped the greens, not my fav, and the meal was delicious! |
After we got a bit of packing done, we played a couple of games of Euchre. Audrey and I won both and had bragging rights once more. I was hoping for a good night's sleep so finished my blog and went upstairs to read a bit and chit chat with Bill.

This was a great day. Also, my youngest, Patrick, celebrated his 36th birthday today so I chatted with him as well. We reached pleasant high of 20C/69F with a mixture of clouds and sun. Quite perfect!
 |
| The above are a few photos from the last couple of days. The last one, I couldn't reach the cherry in my drink with a paper straw! Good night! |
Thank you for stopping by.
