Niagara pre-rally

I ran into the town of Fort Erie this morning to run a couple of errands. The part of town I saw was fairly nondescript, but this character stood out. Not sure what this guy was doing hanging out in Canada.

We enjoyed a lovely walk along the river this afternoon, where we found this historical marker.

He's now back "home" in northwestern Canada for a while. A short distan...

family & a fountain show

After a lovely visit with my sister-in-law early in the day, my brother-in-law, a niece & her husband arrived from Texas in time for dinner. Then we went to Longwood Gardens (outside Phila) to take in the gardens & then a fountain/lights/music show. A grand day.
