ROUND AND ABOUT wires MARTHA
I'm still thinking about last
weekend — just perfect,
weatherwise and not as many
on the highway as I would have
expected. Guess they' re all
waiting for this one, but I'm
not going to go anywheres, I'll
just stay safely at home TI
hope.)
We couldn't resist the chance
to wander up towards Tober-
mory. When 1 say 'warder' —
that's what I mean, because if
I'm driving we never stick. to
the main highways. The most
interesting places are always to
be found beyond the rush and
roar of heavy traffic.
It was great to see people en-
joying their cottages along the
lake. Some were busily putting
on storms and others were just
sitting in the sun. Guess who
were sitting; in the sun!
The yards and flowers were
so beautiful, since the fall
flowers have had a' 'little more
time to show off this year.
Out of traffic and driving a
bit slower, we enjoyed seeing
the smart sign posts, stumps,
trees, sculptures and a lot of
oddities created by the different
cottagers to identify their nice
home 'away from home. On
reaching Southampton we were
amazed to see the hundreds at
the harbour, boating and
fishing. The river :Was swar-
ming with small crafts of every
description and the pier and
opposite river bank was
cruwded with all ages and sizes
flicking fishing poles back and
. forth.
We didn't stop tosee what
they were 'catching but it must
have been good..
The Southampton beach has
.been piled high with stones and
gravel - just like our own har-
bor beach, but they seemed to
have it pushed or piled high as
if they intend to take it away
for u. e in some .other part of
town...;:
•:';Taking the shore ;road from
Southampton we travelled a
narrnw gravel roaid surrounded
-.by brilliant color. If I had been
in the. ,mood 'to collect colorful
leaves I could have hada ball!
It seemed, " each,_ tree was
trying to outshine itc:5`ghbour
- and all were crowding the
road to show off. I believe` that
section of woods to Red Bay
was the • prettiest and most
brilliant, colorwise, of the
whole trip.
In the Stokes Bay area we
recalled one of our weekends
which always brought a smile.
We had taken a small old cot-
tege - nice and clean and com-
fortable but not like most of
today's cottages which always
make me think we might just as
well have been in 'a motel.' We
had started- a fire near the
water and had some—choice
steaks on the grill. This was a
few years ago' '
I had. just turned my atten-
tion to something else, when a
gull swooped- down and tried to
snag. a steak - "right off the fire -
I couldn't believe it. Luckily it
was too heavy and he dropped
it but there was a lot of arm
waving and stone throwing
going on after that.
Next morning Walt and
friend Bill were sitting outside
on the small verandah when a
small, big -eared" mouse
out of the woodwork and„stntid
up in -front of Bi11..• C SASH
went the fl_yswatter`-and Mr.
--1Vlouse was -out' of order. In
telling..-ih ' landlord, later,
• "about= the episode, he cried,
"O'hi, NO! I- should have told
you, -],hat was a pet mouse!"
Orr` one of our trips in that
'a`ren many yearn ago, we had
cradled from Lake "1=luron to
-Highway 6 by''winding trails,
and hadrseen a beautiful little,
° 'chu'rch hidden among the ,tr'ees-
- a small replica of,a'famous
old church - (can'trthink,of the
name) you could see it had
been built with T.L.G. by a fine
stonemason. There were few
'other buildings in the area and'
I had the feeling it had been
built many years ago and was
now abandoned - it looked so
alone.
Being in the area I made up
my mind I, was going to see it
again. I had tried other times
but could never find it.
Up at the Tub we watched
the ferry from South Baymouth
unload passengers and cars and
talked about one of our trips
that had been on the smallest;
tallest, narrowest boat - 1
believed - that they had ever
used. -
I felt that only its tail was in
the water as -it swayed from
side to side - not even in the
rough water, 1 had never been
seasick. carsick or anything lite
that but ,as soon as that trip to
the Manitoulin started I felt I
had HAD it. I spent biggest
share of my time in the car, in
the bottom of that boat until I
was rescued by some of our
party who convinced? me it was
all in my head and dragged me
up top! I was all right after
that but can't forget THAT
trip.
The ferry we saw Sunday was
Large - seemed like its bottom
was sitting firmly in that blue,
blue water and there would be
no queezy stomachs on her
trips.
After lunching in a nice new
restaurant we began our jour-
ney home. We had stopped at
Crawford's Store and were sur-
prised they had sold it. The
nice couple t1 iere said Gerry
had been , j.11' --and must take it
easy, and that they had bought
a Motel at Hanover.
That is not my idea of taking
it easy but I hope everything is
fin' -for them.
Searching again for the little
church, I saw a sign "GOD'S
PRIDE" and headed down a
narrow, winding road. You
should have heard the static
then - but'I carried on and sud-
denly came upon a lovely
house, a lake and of course, a
dead end. The young couple
were very nice 'and gave me
directions to my 'hidden'
church.
"Turn left to Colonel Clark's
Corner, carry on towards
Tanmy Bay turn left and there
you. are."
So I- found it, shining like
new the trees cleared away
and a sign now inviting you in.
It was St. Margarets Chapel,
built in 1927 in Lindsay Town-
ship. I was not too disappoin-
ted as it is a nice little church
but my, impression of it being
lost in the trees was certainly
blown.
Oh well, it is sort of like
going back - after many years
to some spot of your childhood
- and finding that., it isn't a
great 'big place, but small,
nothing grand about it—just a
dream.
Anyway we should take these
sentimental journeys every
once in a while - at least I have
to.
Love,
Martha
