Travels With Stacey

In my travels around Ontario and now into Quebec and the States, I have been to thousands of places over the past years.  The one thing that I have learned in all of this is that there are so many places to visit and see.…

Being in the presence of greenery, especially flowers has a measurable effect on people. I, for one, enjoy looking for and looking at flowers of all kinds. When I was a kid, there was only one type of daffodil. Slowly, a new variety arrived. Then…

Spencer Smith Park is conveniently located right off the highway.  It is a beautiful spot to see the lake, walk along the shore, and experience many events here. The Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail is one of those events, and it is in its second season…

Few events galvanize the entire world.  We all know where we were when we first learned of the events unfolding on September 11, 2001.  I was driving home, listening to the radio and wondering what the commotion was, then seeing the images on the TV,…

We were in New York City.  An unexpected, hastily planned trip where we were wandering around enjoying the views of the Big Apple.  We had no idea we were walking on Broadway – a very famous street.  And then we stumbled upon Wall Street –…
