Bassman's Blog: Homeward Bound

Saturday, August 17, 2013

We woke up this morning to a beautiful misty morning. The first time we've been up early enough to enjoy this view :)

We packed up early and headed to Wheeler's Pancake House.

A beautiful building made from the beams of 5 century old barns.

The pancakes were huge but expensive although I think we got our money's worth in Maple syrup!

The van has been a great tow vehicle! Significantly better mileage than the old van and pulls effortlessly.

So much so, I even let Lynn take the wheel!

We had to get home early to get to the Walter's Show. We had to be there earlier than usual as Shirley Walters had invited Lynn to come for a visit before the show.

The outside of their beautiful home.

The inside is amazing! It's being featured in Toronto Homes this month.

The highlight for me was seeing their studio. Tommy Hunter and Rita MacNeil have recorded here.

There's a separate room for the drummer and vocalists.

We had a great visit with Shirley, Daughter Kim and Grandson Schyler.

Lynne's friend Barb, Shirley and Lynn.

The greatest thing about the visit is seeing how down to earth they all are despite their success.

We left the house and went to the barn to enjoy another great roast beef dinner and then the show which tonight was A Tribute to the Singing cowboys (ie. Roy Rogers, Gene Autry) and Western Swing.
