Oh how BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing. What a view!

My family is up by Parry Sound. I can't for the life of me find any of the lakes that I know on Google Maps. I wonder if Google is bias against Canada?

Thank kathy!

Todd try looking up 3 mile lake in Katrine, Ontario, Canada.
Let me know if you get something.

Most lakes are not labelled as there are soooo many small ones.
Try searching the nearest town first.
Any in particular you are looking for, I'll find them if I can.

First off, I find it extremely odd to be 3 mile lake. But you guys are right up the road from my family. I was able to find the lake once I turned on the satellite view instead of just a road map. I think mom said that my grand aunt sold the cottage this year, and they moved into town with my great aunt.

Mill Lake just inland of the city of Parry Sound is where our cabin was. My family ran a mom and pop motel on the main drag for years, after the rail business slowed.

Well I am off to see about booking a birthday party at the movies for Kenny.
I had my car cleaned this morning.
Then a few errands, I will be back!

 

[cocowum]

Good morning everyone!

John and Kat beautiful picture of the lake!

Hope you feel better Scott.

WE ARE HERE!

I'm not much for trip reports but will share what I can within this topic. Flight got in a bit earlier than expected yesterday and ME was fast. Our room request of a high floor DTD view in Congress Park was filled and the room was ready.

We've been wanting to try Paradiso 37 and that was the first order of business. The only disappontment was the place was somewhat empty when we got there. Luckily it started picking up when we left. We will definately come here again! Here are a couple of photos.

For this visit we were just interested in a couple of app type items. We really liked the Caribbean Crab & Fish Fritters. The lime and coconut dipping sauce I felt a bit bland. This needs work.

Next up were the North American Sliders. Three ample size mini burger type sandwiches. Choice of blackened mahi mahi, pulled pork, or bbq chicken. You can choose what you want and mix if you please. These were good and perfect to share. Deb thought the pulled pork a bit spicy. I was looking for the spice. Couldn't taste it at all.

Deb really liked the pickles they put as a garnish on sliders. So much she asked for a few extra.

Here is pickle puss enjoying her extra pickles.

Finally onto the beverage part. Deb had just a diet coke and I had a couple of New Castles. The beer was cold. How cold you ask?

After DTD we took a boat back to SSR and then a bus to the MK. We expected to stay later but decided to head out around 10 after the Wishes crowd left the park. Enjoyed the TTA. Nice to have it back.

I'm just finishing some work I had to bring here with me. Today we are going to Epcot for F&W. I'll be posting to FB and back here tonight. I'll probably be 5 lbs heavier too!

Deb says hi.

PS - No face painting Paul. Quickdraw was holstered!

Thanks for sharing George! Can't wait to read about F&W.

The mile part goes way back to before we changed over to metric.

I believe Mill Lake is the large lake just east of Parry Sound on the other side of the Hwy, at least there is still a Mill Lake Rd right there.
I have seen quite a few antique postcards of it on eBay over the years.

Tonight's homework is done...I should study for the quiz, but since it's open book and open note, I'm not really worried about it...

And if you guys decide to declare a posting war, please make sure that it is after 9:30pm tonight...I need time to get home in order to participate!

Good luck on the quiz.
Trying to keep this crew reined in til 9:30 may be tough, but we'll try.

I thought for sure that there would've been another thread started by now...I just knew...

 

[sshaw10060]

Red?!?!
Is this a Halloween version of the Grand Marineau slush???

It is Grey Goose, cranberry juice and Cointreau. I am sitting here staring at a bottle of Grey Goose and seriously contemplating breaking out the blender.

A Cosmo slushie. Sounds smashing!!! (Add appropriate lisps as needed.)

The way I figure it, liquor sales resume at 7am here. If the government deems it acceptable to sell it, then it is certainly acceptable to drink it.

Offer has been made, although I'm sure that they will come back MUCH higher. Their house hasn't sold for over 1 1/2 years. We love the house, but not what it's been listed at. They are now living in CHINA! They need to realize that houses are not selling at what they would have 3 years ago.

Perhaps the fact that it has been on the market for 18 months, they may finally realize that they are asking too much for it. :crosses fingers:

I hope you get it!
I am thinking if it has been up for a year and a half they can't hold out much longer.
Good Luck and lots of pixie dust coming your way.

 

[3guysandagal]

Good luck on the offer Nicole.

hmmmmmmmmmm..........2 hours til 5 oclock

To beer, or not to beer, that is the question.

I knew I liked you for a reason...


And folks...I have a face to face interview on Thursday!!!! If I get this job, that means I don't have to eat counter service the whole time at DAP...and I can afford DATW!!!


Not that I would've let that stop me...I could bat my eyes at certain DIS-DH's to get a drink here and there...

 

[jeanigor]

To beer, or not to beer, that is the question.

Whether 'tis no beer in the hand and suffer,
Or to take cans and bottles against a sea of troubles.
