Travels With Stacey

It is the first day our epic trip to see Alaska.  Day one includes waking up at an ungodly hour and getting a huge head start on the drive.  I have always wanted to travel the entire length of Highway 11 here in Ontario, and…

Yorkville had its twice-a-year Fleur Des Ville exhibit.  This is quickly becoming a tradition to see these floral displays throughout the community.  I had decided to take my mother to see these exquisite arrangements.  One of the stops was Gardiner Museum.  This was a perfect…
