They are actually are going to be attending the celebrations with me, so all in all it should be fun.

Matheson Ontario, the town where I grew up is turning 100 years old this coming weekend, but has a history long before it was named Matheson. If you visit www.matheson100.com, there are pictures on line of the past and present. Quite interesting if you are a history buff.

It is also the centre of my first book, "Dream Cottage", available in Hard cover, soft cover and e-book, from many of the bookstores available on the net or in the stores. I did not use the actual town name in the book, for obvious reasons.
