So the Serrouls went apple picking today.  The rain stopped just as we arrived and stayed away long enough to pick a basket of apples and enjoy a walk around Merrickville.  The orchard we went to was Kilmarnock Orchard which is about halfway between Smiths Falls and Merrickville.  The staff were very nice and the apples were plentiful.  We picked McIntosh apples today and they made a lovely pie (my first!!).  After the pickin’ was finished, we ducked into The Goose and Gridiron for some of the best fries we’ve found up here and then did a little shopping at the Christmas shop.  It was a lovely day for the most part.  The girls are a little tired after their first full week at school/daycare and are not being their most precious so they were put to bed early tonight.  Hopefully, they will wake up pleasant and so will we!  Apple picking pictures will be posted as soon as we find the cable for the camera.  In the meantime, nitey-nite!

So, not being able to upload pictures has been an issue that has made blogging no fun for a while.  I’ve tried a number of different software packages and finally found one that works.  YAY!!

If you click on the photos tab up at the top of the page, it will now take you to our photo albums. It’s going to take a while to upload all the pictures we want up there but at least it’s progress.

We hope any of you still reading the blog are well and we promise to make an effort to post a little more often now that we can visually annotate our adventures.
