I spent the past weekend at Sauble Beach with my sister, daughters, niece, and dear friend. Sauble Beach is about a three hour drive from my home through some lovely areas of Ontario, and I throughly enjoyed the scenic drive.

Sunset At Sauble
The beach, and nearby town hold historic significance within Ontario, but on a more personal note this is where my parents met in the 1950s, and where my grandparents once loved to vacation in summer. It was a pleasure to spend time with my children there.

Can you imagine what it might be like to have to tidy up a place of this size?! I certainly wouldn't mind giving it a try! Please note that this entry is for both the Tuesday, and Wednesday editions of WW. ![]()

Massey Family Mausoleum
The Massey family were very prominent Toronto citizens that contributed greatly to arts, and culture within our fair city. The grand mausoleum you see above is their final resting place, which is fairly close to the Didier family plot. The latter is decidedly far less grand, but far more important, at least to us.

The Entrance To Petra
Petra is is an archaeological site in Arabah, Aqaba Governorate, Jordan, lying on the slope of Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains, which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is renowned for its rock-cut architecture.
Petra is also one of the new wonders of the world. And one of the places I would love to travel to one day.

The Mirror of Death, detail of the funerary monument of Philippe de Guèldre, duchess of Lorraine and queen of Sicily (1547). I have always had a special fondness for funerary art such as the wonderful example depicted above. I guess they bring back fond childhood memories of tending to the family plot with my Dad while growing up. ![]()

Something about this photo showing traditional attire from around the world being worn at the 28th International Congress of Midwives in Scotland is appealing to me. What can I say, but I love to dress up particularly if it is in period costume.
