Wishes for a great day to Denise and Margie this Sunday! We don’t see them out as often for walks but once a Shore Thing, always a ST.
This Saturday at 8, we walk! No rain or flooding predicted. Look below t the havoc the last storm caused on one of our weekday rotes in Taylor Creek.
Lou-Ann send along a link to a great article on bone health. Seeing as to some of us are starting to feel a bit creaky, it might be of interest to us.
Many of us have walked through Taylor Creek Park over the years, and noticed the new branch running along the Don at Don Mills. It seems the work on that new trail is complete and could be a great site to explore. This could be an interesting weekday walk, and there is parking near the Elevated Wetlands. (aka the “teeth”, “molars”, or “elephant feet”. Here is a short video about them.
Here is a collection of photos from last Saturday when I went out to explore a bit of the trail.
Join us this Saturday for the usual, plus a bonus Labour Day walk from Tim’s 2 at 9:00 am on Monday.
Lou-Ann and Paul are closing the pool soon so they have invited the Shore Things to their place for a final walk (Saturday, 9:00 am), swim and coffee. Please let her know whether you can make it so there is enough caffeine and baked goodness for all. Ideal forecast so it will be a great opportunity to get in exercise (land and water based) and good company.
Best wishes to Kim on Saturday, then Eileen and Charlotte next week on Friday! Hoping all of you have a great day.
Saturday morning is the date, 8:00 is the time, and Loblaw’s is the place. Biidaasige Park on the schedule. We could rendezvous and carpool to the park parking. Weather bodes well.
A quick reminder to bring your own plates, glasses and cutlery! The forecast seems to be in our favour. See you there!
I’ve heard back from and spoken to as many as possible about the island walk. While taking advantage of the free ferry is attractive, it seems that has led to much larger crowds. Line-ups are long and restaurant waits may be extended so perhaps it may be best to defer to September. More Shore Things may be in town to enjoy this as well, possibly for a sunset walk as we’ve done it in the past. We can exchange ideas at the Pool Party.
Thanks to Sharon and Ruth’s scouting, it looks like we can easily do a slightly off-site walk through Biidaasige Park soon. The western portion has recently opened so lots to explore. Free parking is available at Munition and Commissioners Street (we can also meet at Loblaw’s and shuttle over in a”carpool” mode). Thinking this could be an interesting walk on the 22nd?
Come on out to L@8 for an appetite-developing walk. There will likely be a healthy amount to replenish spent calories at the splash 💦!
Tim’s 2 posse
Sidetracked but finally done. Yes, we meet on Saturday at 8 at Loblaw’s.
Tentatively set for a Wednesday now, either August 19 or 26. Please let us know your preference in the comments or on WhatsApp (include “both are fine” if that is the case).
Reminder it’s on August 15! Please let Lou-Ann know if you’re attending. Thanks!
Raccoons in Toronto, who would have guessed?
A duo of celebration this coming week: first Sharon on Tuesday, then Norma on Friday. Best wishes to both!
Conditions are good for a walk. Be there!
Thank you Lou-Ann for this link to a great article on bone health. Well worth the read.
The forecast for Saturday morning could not be better, so let’s all get out there for a good distance. Helen is back as well, albeit for shorter and slower walks but getting stronger every day. Don’t forget to peek into Loblaw’s just in case there’s another promotion going on. We seem to have good luck on our side. Ask Ruth…
Thanks to Jan for this cute duo of flappers.
Just a quick prompt to let Lou-Ann know whether you’re attending this year’s splashy gathering on August 15, if you haven’t done so already.
The bad air will likely be past us by Saturday
…but…
there is a possibility of thunderstorms according to one weather app. The other says clear skies in the morning. Who can you trust?
Hopefully all will be clearer closer to the weekend. 🤞🏻
If the news is good, you know where and when.
On our Wednesday walk to and in Taylor Creek Park.
Leverne is celebrating this Friday and Marie close behind on Saturday. Happy birthday and bon anniversaire!
Looks like a glorious sunny day is slated for Saturday. Sunglasses and sunscreen weather! L@8.
We are the Shore Things
