Lake HuronMIONTARIONYMore to explore in PORT DOVER and SIMCOEA showcase of Norfolk ArtistsFrom Mark’s’s Notebook:Thank you for your years of service to visitors and locals alike!It may be remarkable, but we don’t know that any of our customers have closeddue to the pandemic. A couple have shut the doors over the past few months, but itseems to be for unrelated reasons. However, we do have to say goodbye to two localtourism institutions. The Aylmer Sales Arena, one of our very first customers and arenowned weekly market, has opened for its last Tuesday and we’ll miss workingwith them. Also, the Bluewater Ferry that shuttled cars and people from Sombra,ON to Marine City. MI for over 70 years is no more. A catastrophic and quite unfairincident with river ice did irreparable harm to their business a few years ago. Thankyou to the five generations of the Dalgety family that kept it sailing for so long.Home, home decor on the range! - See page 4Priscilla’s Presents was a very nicegift shop and ice cream parlour inHarrow, until it closed last year with thepromise to re-open. Tracey has done justthat and the new location is absolutelystunning. You can find her in the wineregion on Iler Road south of Harrow,just around a country corner from FarmFresh Antiques. I can’t begin to describe what a marvellous destination she has builton her farm property - you’ll just have to take a drive and see for yourself.Thinking outside the “Takeout” box - See page 16If you want to enjoy the view of Lake Huron while dining on the patio at SkeeterBarlow’s (my own local spot) you’ll want to make a reservation, but this is a casewhere you could also order take out and enjoy the view from one of many parkbenches, a pavilion, or on the water’s edge. Take out has become a reality of life andis a great way to support our independent restaurants - but that doesn’t mean wehave to take it home.Maybe we just got too busy to appreciate quality - See page 32Millbank Family Furniture has moved into a newlocation next to the legendary Anna Maes Restaurantin Millbank. You won’t need the address in this mostexceptional small village west of Waterloo. The pastfew months have seen many of us rememberingwhat it was like to do puzzles and play board games.I wonder if it will also give us a renewed appreciationfor quality, as in quality hand made furniture thatwill last for generations. I certainly hope so!From Laurie’s Notebook:The Museums of Elgin & Oxford Counties - See page 64This summer, daytrip to a museum. The feature on page 64 should pique yourcuriosity. Every one is different, every one is an experience, and an adventure in “Ididn’t know that!” and “I’ve never seen one of those!” The bonus with all of the sitesis a stroll on the grounds – often an integral part of the museum – and a visit to anew area or town.A New Spin on DaytrippingWe have long encouraged readers to take a day to explore locally. This is thesummer to do just that. I congratulate shop owners on their accommodations tocurrent restrictions so that visitors are safe to enjoy their daytrip. This issue is fullof experience options as we move around Southwestern Ontario. Shops are still theunique, fun, and possibly ‘new-to-you’ spot; farm markets abound with the bestof the area produce, towns are exciting to explore, and every patio has a differentview. Get in the car, with Daytripping as your Adventure Map and adhering to healthguidelines, enjoy the summer.From Rhonda’s Notebook:Good things in OntarioI would call myself a bit of a foodie and thanks to thisjob I have found so many favourite places that caterto my quality food demands. Bakeries with flavoursof bread to enhance the mundane sandwich and thenof course their sweets from pies to cream puffs, everyshop has something they do really well. Then of coursethere are cheesemongers, chocolatiers, meats, maplesyrup farms and produce from farm markets. It doesnot just end there though; many restaurants have takeout,including frozen dinners for you to warm up in a hurry. This is the perfect timeto discover the stand alone shops our area has to offer.My White Bicycle …Bicycling is another resurrected past time of late and our region has many trailsand routes in varying levels difficulty for you experience. Most tourism organizationshave maps and routes on their website for you to find your favourite one. You mayeven see me out there struggling to work off my bakery finds.A Sign Eastof WaterfordErie BeachHOTELTERRACE ROOM...

It’s the best way to learn.Don’t point out a problem unless you have a better solution.It’s OK to behappy with a calm,unbusy life.Take care of your health, it’s the mostimportant thing you own.If you have time to do it wrong, youhave time to do it again.Never write down anything youwouldn’t want read in court.SUMMER 2020 “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.” — Robert FrostPage 59
