W E L C O M E - We're here to help you and us !

Our City and tax dollars are re-constructing Dawson Road and we are expecting great things! On the surface - new sidewalks, bike lanes, better roadways and even trees. Down below - all kinds of new pipes, electrical connections and stuff that will make things work more efficiently.

The work is scheduled to be done by September 30, 2010. Until then there will be lots of heavy equipment moving around. The City will keep all businesses accessible. Check out this blog regularly for helpful updates on road conditions and how to get into tight areas or call us at 519-767-2161 for up-to-the-minute conditions. Dawson Road businesses need your business, to ensure we're still here to celebrate the benefits of this reconstruction project.

Monday, July 26, 2010 - the dog days

Good  Monday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!  I trust everyone had a good weekend, and are looking forward with anticipation to the start of the last week of July. We are in the dog days of summer and in the long haul of construction. The weather for the week ahead looks promising, so let's get a lot done.

I announced last week that we had some personal good news that we expected to happen last weekend. Today, I am pleased to introduce you to the newest member of our family, Tasha. Tasha is a 10 year old female Samoyed, and she will be coming to our store at Plants For All, 66 Dawson Road, Tuesdays to Fridays, when the stores open from 12:30 to 6 each day.  We had a Samoyed, Amrock, up until last December.  Many visitors to our shop would stop by just to visit Amrock.  Linda and I invite you to stop in and visit Tasha. Tasha is smaller than Amrock was and she weighs about 65 pounds. Samoyeds are very friendly and easy going dogs and usually look like they're smiling. Tasha was shaved back in June by her previous owner and we expect her hair to fully grow back in before winter.  Tasha comes to us through the Samoyed Rescue Group.

Because of the heavy rains last Friday morning, the Bel-Air Construction crew was not working on Dawson Road on Friday. I noticed that Drexler Construction was on site, for a short time. They are subcontracting to Guelph Hydro.  With the promising weather forecast for this week, I expect Bel-Air Construction will be back on site and working on storm sewers.

At the start of today, the northbound lane is completely open.  Enter Dawson Road from Willow Road and travel north only, treating Dawson as a one-way street. With all of the heavy rain lately, there are a few gravel sections that are a bit rough. But compared to some of the other construction intersections that I have been through lately in this city, Dawson Road is in very good shape. So start the week off right and come on down to Dawson Road today!

Monday is my day to be in the shop so stop by and say hello. 

I picked up one of those motivational plaques this past weekend that I bought for myself; but I gave it to one of my sons. It said "Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional."  Take a moment to think about that and let me know if you get it.

Have a great day, and Go with Purpose.
