Weekly Walks & Pool Party

It’s on track to be a splendid morning for a walk Saturday, and to work up some banked negative calories for the spread at the pool party that afternoon. If you haven’t rsvp’d to Lou-Ann, please take a moment. Remember to bring a lawn chair.

Wet and Wild

In the aftermath of Tuesday’s deluge, a group of us went down into Taylor Creek Park to see how the new river works held up to all that rain. It seems that overall, the effort paid off but still, there were many indications of the power of flowing water. Pictures below tell the story.

Annual Pool Party

Looking back over the blog posts, it’s been a while since the date was first announced (back in April it seems), so if you missed that post or forgot to jot down the date, it’s Saturday, July 27 from 2:00 on. rain date is Sunday the 28th. Pot luck as usual. You could post what you’re bringing on WhatsApp, but based on past years, it always seems to work out.

Weekly Walks

Hopefully we will once again have a great reunion like this past weekend. It was great to see walkers who haven’t been able to join the Saturday L@8 gang for a while. Since it looks very promising for this week, maybe we can push that number even higher?

L@8!
Some people we haven’t seen walking together for a while. So glad you’re back!

Birthdays!

Wednesday is Leverne’s special day, and Thursday is Marie’s so let’s wish them Happy Birthday and Bon Anniversaire!

Island Walk

The “Lakes Eleven” made it over to the Toronto Islands for a fresher-than-mainland walk. Back on the city side, it was followed by a lovely meal at Irene Restaurant lakefront behind the CORUS building.

We’re hoping to do this again later this summer or early fall.

Weekly Walks

So far, there’s a low probability of rain Saturday morning, so no excuses, right?! L@8 with coffee post walk.
