So you Canadians really are "blessed", in every aspect so far
No wonder every day three farmers or lorrydrivers quit their
business/job over here and emigrate to the land with the Maple Leaf.
There sure must be a lot of dutchmen over there...

Sorry I asked that question, Jim. I appreciate your open answer a lot.
Whenever my wife or I arrive at that roadbend, we'll no doubt do the
same thing... I am very glad to live in a country where it's possible.

Warm regards, Len.


Very near to where my boat is located, in the town of Bayfield Ontario,
there is a large population of people from the Netherlands. Below, I have
copied a little information about a Dutch attraction. A full sized
windmill.

The Folmar Windmill brings a touch of Europe to Huron County. This full size
windmill is styled after an actual mill in the Netherlands called "The
Arend." Folmar Windmill has the capability to be used as a sawmill and a
grist mill. During your tour the guide will explain how the "natural energy"
of the wind can be utilized for those purposes.

View the "technical artistry" of the mill's builder, Frank de Jong, or let
yourself slip into Europe's yesteryear as the sighing of the sails
hypnotizes you and you marvel at this unique structure. Natural environment
areas are abundant in the area, and the Folmar Windmill is situated along
side a small lake.

If you do an Internet search on Google, you will see the photos of this
windmill. Search for "Folmar Windmill Bayfield Ontario"

This area is good for boating as it is on the shores of Lake Huron, the
"Sweet Water Sea".
Jim
