Birthdays and weekend in Collingwood, Ont.





May 4 was sister Tina's birthday....so we all went to dinner at Moxie's!

















Camera doesn't do night shots very well......but you get the picture. Carl, Tina, Alice, Miki, me and Tina's hubby Laine.










Saturday we drove up to Collinwood, where Mick and Bev (also friends from PM) live in the summer months. It was May 5 - Cinco de Mayo - a Mexican celebration day, so how perfect..!











Lovely cottage with a view of Georgian Bay........











Pergula arch to the back yard.....and hot tub!















and we had to go for a walk along the shore....where yours truly put my feet in Georgina Bay for the first time in 47 years.......man, that water is cold......!!!
















I spent every summer of my childhood on a family island in these waters, so very fond memories. Also, I learned to ski at Blue Mountain in my teens...right behind Bev and Mick's house......












It looks colder than it was....Carl and Alice walk the shore......









The rocky shale shoreline has its own special beauty........












and just at sunset, the Supermoon rose..........














from the lakeshore, we could just see the yellow ball rising......











oh for a decent lens.....never mind - it was still amazing to see...

























and after this incredible dinner of Bev's magic ribs, we watched the moon from the hot tub in the back yard.........
