Today Sunday July 5, we took a long convoluted almost 6 hour drive to and from Morrisburg, Ontario . The photo is of a tiny church in Greely . Originally I thought that we might come across some flea markets. Because of Covid 19 the Rideau Carleton Raceway Flea Market and another one I knew of on Hwy 31 close to Williamsburg  were both closed and no other ones to be seen.Steve needs the discarded chairs, tables or dressers to make some additional inspired repurposed furniture and props.
Gorgeous day . We stopped at half a dozen cemeteries along the way as Steve in particular likes to document taphology (study of tombstones) and pay homage to the departed. We stopped at several parks including Bass Bridge Park and another one in mountain commemorating  fallen soldiers. 
Steve made us travelling snacks including delicious cake, a kit kat chocolate bar, maple leaf cookies and lemon wafers.All washed down with Dr.Pepper and Coca Cola(and copious amounts of water as well) We had a great da!. Steve is making delicious hamburgers for us now then we will settle down to watch an excellent movie. Fingers crossed anyway.

 Yesterday Steven and I took a flying trip to see Nikki Laframboise at Elements LuxuryTented Camp-Renfrew to pick up an antique head and foot board she put aside for us to pick up. Steve creates amazing upcycled furniture pieces and this acquisition will be the start of the next unique piece of furniture. Along the way we stopped in at the Braeside Antique Shop in an old church . Then on to Elements and a lovely visit (as always) with Nikki to boot.  We had not been to Pembroke since March 13 (didn't see much as we were working at an event  the time )so we made it a day and drove there for a picnic in the waterfront Park and to check out the incredible \Value Village for for some additional transformable pieces.  Agter Pembroke,we took the long way home past Lake Dore . We stopped at the cemetary at church point (a memorable place for us from years ago. We took a couple of videos of the sights and sounds of the lake including thunder heralding an impending storm...
