But whether it is
going to warm your hearth
or burn down your house,
you can never tell”

Porte Ponderings:

On our recent trip to Pinery Provincial Park, we thought we would be the only ones at the beach. Then this couple showed up. They obviously thought they would be the only ones as well as he came holding 2 glasses of wine. ❤

Porte Ponderings:

Not only is is St. Patrick’s Day, but is the anniversary of my first day of work at Canada Post in 1980.

I’ve been retired for 13 years. I’m very thankful for all the people I worked with and met during my working years. I’m also very thankful for my pension. There were times when I resented the money taken off my paycheck each month. But now when the money is deposited into my account I’m glad it wasn’t a choice as the return each month is much greater than the monthly payments 😉

The weather this year is much nicer than that first day of work. There was a terrible ice storm. I had to drive across London to return to our first apartment on Berkshire Drive. I don’t miss the commute to work.

I’ve already purchased my Provincial Park Pass for the year.
