Yesterday we went to Niagara-on-the-Lake with our friends, Mary and Jim, to see a matinee performance of “Enchanted April” at the Shaw Festival. I knew it would be the perfect place to get a shot of a theater for performing arts (#2).
(Looking in at the posters with the reflection from the window)
I knew we’d be going to our favorite pub (#18), The Irish Harp, for lunch.
I didn’t expect to find an intentionally funny sign (#7), but there it was outside the pub.
But I did know, the clock tower on main street would qualify for #8.
I’m now officially half way through with the scavenger hunt. I know where to find a few of those items left on the list, but I’m going to have to search for the rest.
When we returned home last night, I went up to the hospital. Mike had bypass/valve replacement surgery yesterday (in the OR for about 8 hours), and had just come out of the operating room. Once again it was touch and go all night, but he stabilized this morning, and was again in the OR for some clean-up this afternoon. The surgeries have all been successful. There’s one more to go—probably Friday to disconnect the ECMO machine and reconnect the chest bones. It’s really been an ordeal, but his family and I so appreciate your thoughts and prayers. We hope we’re now on the road to recovery.
Hi Karen, I have been away for the last 10 days or so and had missed the dreadful news about your friend. He will most certainly be in my thoughts and prayers as I know only all too well what these procedures are like and the impact they have on the individual and a family – it is part of my Dad’s story.
I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing your photos from overseas and the Scavenger Hunt, you have succeeded in finding a great sign …. apart from the cloud one, it is the most difficult to find for me!
I’ll continue to send prayers up for Mike. What a long ordeal, and I”m happy to be part of the team supporting him.
On a lighter note, that sign is awesome! And it’s o fun to see a good variety of theatres popping up form around the world.

Glad to hear your friend is holding on in there! I hope the final procedures go well and he recovers well. What an ordeal for you and his family!
I love your photos! Had a chuckle at your funny sign!!!
Great photos Karen – that pub looks so lovely and old-fashioned! Glad that Mike is doing better, although what he has yet to go through sounds horrific!
Great photos as always,Karen…..and the sign is brilliant. Glad Mike is making progress.
I love your finds Karen and the sign made me laugh out loud! Glad to know there is progress with your friend. Thinking of you all.
Continuing to pray for your friends, Karen!
I love the photos you collected for this round of scavenging. LOVE the funny sign!
I love your sign!
I will keep you and your friends in my thoughts.
So glad to read of the positive news from the hospital – continuing to hold you all in my thoughts. And that sign had me in stitches!
So glad to have read back and know Mike is better.
Wookie discovered Sam Adams when we were last in the US and we buy it imported here now – such a fun sign 🙂
