The Niagara Peninsula

The vineyards reminded us of Sonoma. We tasted some very good wines.
It's always nice to see Niagara Falls.
We always remember the fur traders and their canoes when we are by this river.
The little town of Niagara-on-the-Lake reminded us of two of our favorite places to be, Sonoma, and Ashland. We stayed four days and saw four plays--Mrs. Warren's Profession by GB Shaw, Little Foxes, After the Dance, and Belle Moral, by a living Canadian female playwright. It was a lovely interlude of cool weather before we went back to school and hurricanes.

Toronto trip

Here he is, at thirteen months, always a keen observer and always with something in his hand.
Notice the carefully laid-out broccoli flowerettes, soon to be moved to the floor by this little diner.
Sunday outing for Toronto families and grandparents.
This little moving piece of rubber is River's dance floor.
The new back yard. The castle is a favorite place.
River shows Daddy the mailbox.
The left side of this house (semi-detached) is the new three-story (plus basement) home for the LaFramenta-Levine family.
