"TOUR SW ONTARIO AND MEET SHIRLEY MANION"

GREETINGS FROM SOUTH, SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO. CANADA'S BANANA BELT..

HOME OF THE CAROLINIAN FOREST Dominated by deciduous trees, The Carolinian Forest covers the southern most part of Ontario along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Trees that are a Southern Species are found nowhere else in Canada. Only here can you walk through a forest where southern species such as Tulip Tree, Kentucky Coffee Tree, Black Oak, Black Gum, Shagbark Hickory, and Sassafras are mixed with more familiar species like Sugar Maple and American Beech. RARE REPTILES and AMPHIBIANS also are found in the same area such as: Spotted Turtles, Eastern Spiny Softshell Turtles, Jefferson Salamanders, Lake Erie Water Snake, Fowler's Toad. MONARCH BUTTERFLIES pass through here by the thousands and settle on the tips of POINT PELEE and LONG POINT before their long fall migration to Mexico. BIRDWATCHERS love the area especially LONG POINT, PORT ROWAN and PORT BURWELL, as rare varieties land on their way north or south, including WHISTLING SWANS.

"Getting to know me" "Getting to learn ~ all about me"

My name is Shirley and I guess you could call me a Jill-of-all-trades. I have moved many times and worked at many different types of occupations. I owned and operated a store called "The Lighthouse Curiosity Shop" for 15 years and really enjoyed it. My store was near the Historic Wooden Lighthouse at Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada Ontario. (The picture you see above)

Kitchener-Waterloo (Fabulous German OKTOBERFEST held here), Ontario, Canada was my home until I was five yrs of age. My school years were spent in Stratford (WORLD FAMOUS SHAKESPEAREAN FESTIVAL). I then lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (WHEN THEY MADE THE MOVIE THAT STARTED THE STUDENTS COMING TO FLORIDA) for six years. Now you see why my handle is Gypsy.

I have two children and raised them in St. Marys, Ontario ("STONETOWN"..CANADA'S LARGEST SWIMMING QUARRY IS HERE). I lived in Port Burwell and Stratford for 15 years and now live in Port Rowan.
I love travelling, dancing, the theatre, shopping, dining, Karioke singing, camping, genealogy,and walking..and now am a computer addict like the rest of you.

My daughter, son-in-law and their Husky dog live by the Backus Mill (a historic village in the Carolinian Forrest) and Long Point (a World Biosphere Area) which is well noted for bird watching, it's bird banding station and is a wild swan migration landing spot.

My son is a Ford Auto worker. He, his wife and their three darling, little, curly-haired girls live near London, Ontario.
