Vacation in Central Canada This Summer: Unwinding, Pendulum Betting, and More Adventures Await
It's high time for some well-deserved leisure! My wife and I are ready to swap our daily grind with the serenity of our cottage nestled in the heart of Canada for the summer. Our idyllic summer escape includes lounging with intriguing books, casting lines in search of the big catch, diving into cool waters, exploring trails, and engaging in captivating conversations with friends and neighborhood folks, all washed down with one or more glasses of our favorite vino.

As the suave, swanky TV host, crooner, and actor once said, "Keep those letters falling!" While I won't always be able to promptly reply to your email inquiries or comment responses, know that every query about clocks or comment on my posts matters to me and will be given due attention.
Roaming central Canada, we're bound to stumble upon enchanting clocks as we raid antique stores, flea markets, and junk shops. The summer brings new clock tales, repair conundrums, and perhaps the next monumental restoration project.
One spot we're excited to check out is The Canadian Clock Museum in Deep River, Ontario. This treasure trove of timepieces houses an impressive collection, including Craftline clocks – a Canadian legacy that dates back to the early 1970s. These clocks showcase a variety of designs, including traditional, Spanish, Mediterranean, colonial, and country French styles. Remarkably, these museum displays feature elm, ash, and fruitwood hardwood cases and clockworks initially sourced from the German Black Forest, a reflection of the museum's founder's history as a Holocaust survivor with German roots. Visitors can marvel at the evolution of clockmaking technology in Canada through the museum's exhibits, featuring clocks powered by both eight-day wind-up chain movements and battery-operated pulsation movements.
