Today was Labor Day

The traditional end of summer.  Until late afternoon it was gray, gloomy and wet... all weekend. 

Traditionally,  this weekend was spent at 519 Twilight Trail in Gloria glens. We would be spending the weekend celebrating mom's birthday,  which was yesterday.  She'd have been 98 yesterday. 

I think the last time we went to the cottage on her birthday was 1977. I took the monte carlo, Maria was there and Frank Tortorella and his buddy drove by as we were playing Frisbee. The last time I stepped foot in side the active park, was for the rats/rapscallion show at the Zeppelin  - the old dance hall. Although the next weekend,  Bob peeko and I tried to get in to see Michael Stanley,  we never made it in

Fast forward to 2004, when Diana and I took mom to show her the new construction that was done on the cottage 
 
Flash forward again when Cheryl and I took photos of the last showing of the park, and we went to Twilight trail where the entire block of cottages was leveled due to mold. 

Gone was mom and dad
Gone was the amusement park 
Gone was the entire block of Twilight trail.
