How did it get to Lake Erie?

Wikipedia says it was towed to Cleveland through the St. Lawrence Seaway in the late 50s and used as a training vessel for a while. I don't know how long it's been there, but it's been a museum ship since 1976.

Here's a picture of part of the control room.

Son Tany is on a short visit with his wife Pam and the 8 month old daughter Pailin so I had the pleasure of finally meeting them. Here are our first photos tohether

Bubble, beautiful family! Noticed Tany has your smile..

Lovely photos.

Bubble, nice to meet your family members..

Bubble, you have a wonderful family, and I'm glad you were able to meet your new DIL and newest granddaughter!

Bubble,  Tany's wife and daughter are adorable!  So glad you finally got to meet them.  Tany looks very happy too.
Hoping that Pailin was able to meet her cousin Lynn?   

Becayse Lynn is at kindergarten daily  until 4.oo they haven't met yet, but tomorrow we will be all together for  Shabbat. We'll see how it goes, I'll try to take some more photos

Bubble, I hope you and your family have a wonderful, restful, peaceful, family time on Shabbat.

Someone really wanted to taste that ice cream...

Oh yes please Pailin is saying!

She is adorable!

she is a delight: always smilling and not at all shy. She is starting to crawl, but is more interested in trying to stand than to stay on the floor. She has two teeth already and did not suffer much.

In the moshav where Illy lives, they also celebrated Halloween this year!
They decorated the house and garden.
Lynn took great pleasure in givinglots of candies to all the young visitors

She's seemingly losing the previous baby look and more like a girl child in these photos. I'll bet she loved the idea! Was there any one for you and one for me during that distribution?

whoever came got at least 10! Did you fly in on a broomstick? LOL

New driver...

A full time busy week here!

I received some beautiful photos from Tany in London.  He invited a visiting old friend to a very posh restaurant: The Ivy Castle View.

I will share them here with you.

Bubble, once again, you must thank both Illy and Itan, for sharing these wonderful photos of their trips with us. And thank you for doing so! I'm enjoying these scenes I'd never see otherwise.

Thanks Patricia.  For me too it is a view of a serene England I had not experienced before.

Here are a few more from Eitan (Tany)

Bubble, I enjoyed lookng at the pictures!  Such lush greenery and bright beautiful flowers everywhere!  I especially like the little outdoor tea room, with all the interesting artifacts everywhere.    Wouldn't it be nice to be sitting there right now, having a cup of tea! 

Bubble, I agree with Marilyne, such lush greenery!

My favorite was the guardian dragon, and I wonder what the story is behind it.

And I apologize for having misspelt your son's name.

Bubble...
Surrey is a lovely place to live, and to visit...Surrey is less than 40 miles away from me...Thank you for posting the photos...Love the quaint tea room..and i am drawn to those flower planter pots..
