August has just gone whizzing by. Company, deck building, a visit to the neighbour's cottage, geocaching, sports car day, a trip up north to visit friends and go ATVing and the street party just ate up the month.

The long weekend in August was the Cargill Come Home Weekend. Part of the festivities included a car show. As Ed and Luc both like cars we decided to drop by.

Two days after Deb, Luc and Hairy left, my cousin, her husband and two dogs arrived. We had a great visit with both sets of company.

Another cache was by the cute little waterfalls.

One day our neighbours and ourselves decided to take the sports cars and drive to Bayfield and Goderich --- a couple hour round trip. Both are cute towns on the shore of Lake Huron.

This carving of a sailor in Bayfield has seen better days. We stopped at a pub for lunch. The pub has really good burgers and an amazing beer list. This is the beer Ed tried.

In Goderich we heard a firetruck siren --- turned out they were trying to get peoples attention for Grandpa Bob. Grandpa Bob is walking 4000 km to raise money for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research. Later in the month I saw Grandpa Bob's motor home driving through Walkerton.

We had been finding geocaches in bird boxes ... only seemed right to find one in a bird nest.

Another geocache took us to the Goderich lighthouse, somewhere we hadn't been before.

Two different days and two different churches. Both had geocaches near them. The big church is the Catholic church in Formosa. The small church is near Owen Sound.

Geocaching took us to the harbour in Owen Sound.
