Leonid Meteor Shower

The Leonid Meteor shower is at its peak tonite. My sister in law called to ask whether she was hallucinating. I said to her maybe she saw a UFO! ... just kidding!

Last night I saw one come over our house - very bright. Great conditions for star gazing..

In the summer, all the guests lie out under the stars to watch the Perseid meteor shower.

Feed the Birds

Janine Bone sent this photo as part of her wonderful collection of photos she took while she stayed at Beauview in October.

This is a real gray jay (not a stuffed one!) up close and personal! Hint: A bit of bird seed in your hand helps to attract them.

Travel by GPS

We were tourists last weekend. We visited our daughter in Waterloo, went to Cirque de Soleil Circus in Toronto and visited friends in Hamilton.

I always wanted to get one of these GPS Navigation units that are on sale and getting cheaper and cheaper each time I see a sale flyer.

We tried the Blackberry version getting from Waterloo to Hamilton and from Hamilton back to Beauview. (We used Telus Navigator on my Blackberry) I was impressed by the accuracy but it isn't always right and doesn't always take you the way you should go. Its best to have a full address to avoid confusion.

Did we get lost? No. If I didn't know the roads would I have made a wrong turn?. Yes. The nice part about these newer units is that they will replot a new route if you go the wrong way. The older ones would just say "off route, off route !" - which was very annoying!

It is a good idea to still have a map on paper ...just in case.

To program your GPS unit, our address is:
4215 South Portage Road.
Huntsville,
Ontario
P1H 2J3

If all else fails call us at 800-363-6047 and we'll direct you in!

Photos by Janine Bone of Algonquin, Lake of Bays

I just received a number of photos from Janine Bone who stayed with her husband at Beauview in October. They are very well done.

Janine, Thank you for sharing them with us.!

I especially like the chickadee and the moose photos.
