  • Blog 6 – Ritcey Chronicles Monday, June 20 We
    Blog 6 – Ritcey Chronicles Monday, June 20 We were up fairly early as Kevin had to go down to the train station to pick up our rental car. He was back really quickly so we loaded up and were on our way. Had breakfast at Smitty's once again, - why not! Prices to eat out here are pretty high. Once we were finished our first stop was to go to Windsor St. To see my birth house and the house I lived in until the day I got married. Holy Cow, what a shock that was. Can't believe how our house could have been left to go to pot - literally. After 46 years they hadn’t even changed the light fixture or the number. They did paint the original salmon and green colour, but obviously never looked after that either. It upset me a lot more than I thought it would. The one thing that remained of my childhood was the fuschia rhododendron bush that we planted in the middle of the yard. After all these years it is still standing. It is pretty big now, but the rest of our beautiful yard looks like a jungle. The big garage dad had built is nothing but the foundation; the front door has been changed, the house paint is peeling off and the back veranda is awful. A real dump. We left there are went up to the Fairview Cemetery to visit the grave of our son, Geoffrey Scott. It was hard to find the grave marker because it was all overgrown.
