Which I did while living up there at the time. It was beautiful and peaceful. No cars and no sirens. Just peace and quiet.

These are lovely. I assume that East Gwillibury, ON is not far from Toronto? I grew up and spent most of my life in Buffalo, NY so I spent a lot of time in Southern Ontario. My youngest and his wife and 3 year old son live in Ancaster, ON between Hamilton and Burlington. He is a lawyer but he actually practices law for a firm outside of Buffalo, NY in Orchard Park, NY -- he does it remotely (I practiced for 30 years and I don't get it). His wife is a teacher, I think in Hamilton. If I still lived in Buffalo, we could meet for coffee -- maybe sometime when I come up to visit them I could drive a little further North and we could meet at a Tim Horton's and have a cup?

I would be walking there every day
