Yesterday, Wednesday, we visited Grace and Earl Dodds. We met the Dodds' two years ago in Victoria Palms, Donna, TX. Earl spends some time in the woodworking shop and Connie knows Grace from the sewing room. They live in a beautiful new home near Orangeville, ON and the photo below is in front of their waterfalls in their back yard. The other photo is of the front of their home. We were only able to stay for lunch and a short visit.
Our next stop was at Thornhill, ON, at Roger and Marcia Miller's home. We parked the motor home in their driveway and will be here till Saturday.
Today,Thursday, we toured Toronto and had lunch in the Greek area. We also visited Casa Loma, a castle built by Sir Henry Pellatt. Sir Henry built the castle in 1911 at a cost of $2.5 million. I'm sure, at that time he was one of the wealthiest men in Canada. In 1901, he was chairman of 25 separate companies and controlled 25% of Canada. Unfortunately, after WWI, the Canadian economy took a dive, and he had to declare bankruptcy. The pictures below are of Marcia and Roger at the castle.
More tomorrow. Roger just beat me two games of cribbage, and I need to try to get even.
