Murals in My Town

Early this morning I was running around the downtown streets and alley's...I never knew My Town had so many murals. The murals were painted by a local artist. They depict daily life in Our Town in the 1890-1910's. Hope you enjoy them.


The first 2 are a couple garbage cans that have been painted.





The above 3 murals are in a back alley. These are my favourites.

Every town had its Chinese Restaurant. The Building on the right is ours. The inside decor is still from the 50's... AND they have the best chinese food around!!!

Character Homes in My Town

I have travelled through little towns enjoying all the older cute homes...forgetting that there are lots right in my back yard. I live in a town (well it is now a city...but to me it will always be a town) that is full of these older homes. In fact in the late 80's we bought a house built in 1912. We renovated it... It was very interesting the things we found and I'm sure the stories they could of told... and then there were the layers of wall paper! Each layer told a story...and a smell!

Well I have decided to do some posts on my town. It'a funny how we often don't appreciate the things closest to us...sometimes when I am out walking, I think; if I was visiting My Town...how it would look. AND it would look like a neat Historic Town.... so here goes the first post on My Town.

Hope you enjoy some of the Character Homes. . .
I love that roof!
I always wonder who has lived in these homes throughout the years and what their lives where like?
If the walls could talk the stories they could tell! Of laughter?
Of tears?
Of death?
Of a birth?
This one is now a museum. One of the Governor General's of Canada was born here.

National Puppy Day

Miss Pepper…..she changed our life… But life wouldn’t be as full without her! She is a kind sweet puppy that always ‘try’s😳’ to please.
