 Proud Mama!!

 A pretty view on a sunny warm day...a favorite spot for walkers and joggers, around this lake.

Where were you on....

May 11, 1966...My daughter lucked in and found this old Timmins newspaper, at a local second hand shop. Hubby and I were 17, didn't even know each other, Timmins area is his home town, he actually joined the Air Force shortly after this date, which through time would bring us together, and the rest is 'history'!!
It was neat to see the prices of groceries, vehicles, and more. It was a trip back in time for us all...

And down it came...

Following a 10 second countdown, it took only seconds for the Hollinger Headframe to come tumbling down. A local mining company
have plans for an open pit operation, so this 30 year landmark was taken down with explosives.
Many people turned out to witness the demolition, on the cloudy morning, with mixed feelings. These companies say it is 'progress' but locals don't agree.
Trucks have been busy this week hauling away the scrap metal etc.
Timmins skyline is changed forever...
