  • The Girlz Head West

    Our day trip to the Celadon, Ontario area included a stop at the Cheltenham Badlands. To access the viewing platform from the parking lot, there is a short walk along the sidewalk or a slightly longer walk through the forest. We chose the forest trail which is also part of the long distance Bruce Trail […]

  • The Girlz Head North

    Fall in Ontario is spectacular and greatly anticipated as many eagerly head to look outs and drive country roads to view the colours. Hardwood trees with leaves of yellow, orange or red pop against the deep green needles of pines and cedars. The Patio Girlz headed north to Muskoka/Algonquin Park area armed with cell phone […]

  • The Girlz Head East

    It was a beautiful fall day in early September when the Patio Girlz headed east to Prince Edward County. The County, as it is referred to, is a destination with lots to do and experience. Perhaps known best for its thriving wineries and tours, it offers other culinary delights such as cider tastings, butter tarts […]

  • Summer BBQs and Music

    Summer would be incomplete without outdoor live music and BBQs. The Patio Girlz strayed from our patios and enjoyed a Saturday night out helping to raise funds for a local community project. The Friends of Wesleyville hosted this fund raising BBQ and one of our Girlz was in the thick of it helping to organize […]

  • There is Something in the Air

    We could smell the sweet aroma as we pulled into the drive at Laveanne Lavender fields. Despite living so close to the fields, this is my first visit with the lavender in full bloom. Row after row of purple. In addition to the wonderful rows of lavender, the Reflection Labyrinth with its circular pathways can […]

  • SEA THERAPY

    A late entry for this patiogirl. Chris & I set sail from Ft. Lauderdale, on Holland America’s Eurodam for an 11-day Southern Caribbean cruise. Besides the eating, drinking, napping, drinking and other activities on board, I always look forward to the history and culture each island offers. With visits to Bahamas, Aruba, Curacao, Columbia, Costa […]

  • Look up, look waaaay up….

    These words from the opening of the 1960’s children’s TV show The Friendly Giant certainly came to mind the past couple of days as we spent time on the Pacific Marine Circle Route in southern Vancouver Island. The height and girth of these beautiful firs, spruce, and cedars has been very impressive. And we did […]

  • There’s Something Fishy in Steveston

    Had two visits to Steveston this week to check out its fishing industry heritage. What an interesting place. Starting in the 1870s and up to the 1990s, there were many salmon canning plants in this still active fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser River, at one time as many as 45 canneries! The […]

  • Bookman’s Holiday

    I am sure you have heard of the term ”busman’s holiday”, which means that someone goes on vacation and ends up doing an activity not unlike their work back home. In my case, I think you would have to call this west coast trip a ”bookman’s holiday”. As some of you will know, I have […]

  • Happy Birthday to Me!

    (or, How I spent my day with other old things) While planning our trip out west, I decided there was a place I really wanted to spend my road trip birthday, that being Dinosaur Provincial Park near Brooks, Alberta. The park is a Unesco World Heritage site, which consists of 75 square kilometres of hills, […]
