And I remember when I was a wee little girl, the storekeeper, oh he liked to get us to do things for him and we carried wood out of his cellar and he gave us a bull's-eye candy.

No, it wasn't really a trademark it was just her own...but sometimes I'd sometimes you-know a butter print it's a little wee bit more than a pound into it and when you're putting a print and sell the print, you don't get paid for the extra over because it's in a print so people quit putting it in a print.

Longbranch is very nice down by the lake. Had nice big old homes and but ours was a tiny wee one so, it was- but a big piece of property.

That was a hotel band. Like a resident band. But um, and the one little bands because as I say when we were teenagers and went to Huttonville and to Brampton and those dances, they were local bands of people and they- but they were good. They were full eight or ten people. They weren 't little wee ones.

Not too much, unless you- Maybe, ah, a few candies and an orange and ah, um, maybe a new pencil or a balloon or um- possibly a little wee gift, you know, that ah would be something like a um, a clip that you 'd put on your- on your, ah, lapel or something- like-that- You-know that-that had a little saying on it.

There wasn 't that, and we would be lined up- lined up and then they- they put that skyline in. Well, you used to have to have tokens and pay, like, pay like, little- little wee small little tokens. Like it wouldn-- maybe ten cents or something. Wasn 't expensive. Not the way you pay- pay for in The-States you-know.

And the Plymouth had just a little wee dent, 'cause in those days, they made them darn solid. I mean, there was a lot of steel in them. And yeah, he hit- the whole fender came off his car.

Yeah, that 's- that 's what happened. 'Cause I mean the- the river 'cause- that little itty-bitty dribble that you see underneath Hogg 's-Hollow and around that area, that little wee dribble, the um old York-Mills bridge, which you can s-- you can see if you go across, is still there.

Yeah, yeah. That used to be the fashion, there were a lot of cabins and stuff you could rent, yeah. We went up to Bert-River which is- well it 's a town, it 's a wee little town.

What was that called? That was right on the corner right where the great big bayside school is now. There was a little tiny wee country school and north on that road there was ah ah quarry where you could go swimming. Did you know that?

It’s a little- just a little wee town. And he was a farmer and drover. Tric-- truck cattle to Toronto and-that-and-that, and he got a share in it. So there was ten of us altogether.

Well we got that great big building in that little wee corner and they- the money the spent on it, it's not very impressive to me. I-mean I go to the library all the time but um, no parking and there were sites that they had where there would've been tons of parking.

You-know, sitting down ah at a bear-bait, waiting for a bear to come, I had those little wee weasels come and run around my feet. I'd be eating a sandwich and share it with them. Watch the whiskey-jacks and blue-jays and chickadees and yeah, nice and quiet.

Interviewer: And the four-year old was your dad? Speaker: Yup. And um, and the wife and the wee one.

Look at it and fix a wee bit if it's- needs a little bit of landscaping and-that, just keep it up. Mm-hm, I don't touch it.

Telephones all different. This here ah little wee- they can see the picture and talk at the same time. Our railroad's changed so much with- they get orders from Toronto, running trains up here.

The old people kept you going (laughs) Yeah, somebody said to me- my son plays the gui-- guitar a wee bit, he said "can you play anything?" "No," I said, "I have to work." We were trained to work.

And I don't- I can't honestly say if I ever saw it, I think I might have saw it as ah a wee- wee boy and-that but- but I know it was knocked down. But speaking of a- (clears throat) of buildings again, not far from where- where I was speaking of- just up the street, you know where Demarco's is?

The kids thought that was quite nice. But ah- I was just a little wee bit disappointed, because you-know, whenever we saw pictures of the water and it was nice and blue and ah. But it was- it was quite- the water was quite dirty when ah- all kind of debris was on it.

Actually they are. And I- I- the one thing that I did say this morning is that it made myself a really tight, of course I was little wee skinny-thing, about (clicks tongue), tight skirt, gray- and I could still remember I had to- it was wool and it had to be fully lined...
