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.

Welcome to 2024!

Here we are entering the 20th year since the Shore Things name was first coined as a sub-group of Jean’s Marines. It became a walking-exclusive appellation 3 years later concurrently with the start of this blog.

The original STs in training at the Lions Clubhouse, Ashbridges Bay, August 2004. You can play “Where’s Waldo” finding those of us still at it.

Birthdays

And speaking of important milestones, Olwyn and Jan have their birthdays Monday and Wednesday respectively, yoohoo to both!

Weekly Walks

So far a mild winter has kept the roads and sidewalks generally safe. The latest long-term forecasts say that may change later this month so be aware.

That said, with no precipitation predicted between now and Saturday, and sun to help sublimate, chances are fair that our footing will be secure for our first 2024 walk. Winds are not likely to be a factor so how about another Spit Walk? 8:00 at Loblaw’s, you know the drill.
