This posting introduces what I hope will become a new feature of this blog: a continuing list of wonderful things, for no particular reason but to feel good about life and to remember to thank God for them.
To qualify, these must not be things from the past, which cannot be gotten to and anjoyed right now. For that would not be cheering, but depressing. But they will, I think, tend to be older things, simply because when something is new and wonderful, people tend to notice it, and so to already be aware of it. The older things are more likely to be overlooked.
Let's to it:
The Big Apple.
Not New York City; this is a roadside attraction near Colborne, Ontario. It’s the perfect stop and stretch if you’re travelling with kids between Toronto and Kingston or Montreal. Besides the large apple, the best thing about it is the bakery, which specializes in apple pies. It is true what they say about apple pies. They are in themselves one of the great joys of life. You can also get burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. There’s a petting zoo, go karts, mini golf. No big deal at all; just an unpretentious place, an unexpected little grace note in a day’s journey. Truth be told, I love roadside attractions of all kinds. They’re a genre of folk art. And this one is free.
