Foot And a Half Drop Into Loose Rubble Saturday Morning

The Neat Little Bookshop was closed most of Friday and all day Saturday.  We cannot explain why a retail business would be left in these conditions for a weekend but there we are.

Today, we will once again contact the county project manager, our councillor and the contractor to see what can be done to reopen on Wednesday.  Meanwhile, we apologize for the inconvenience.  We experienced a visitor stepping into mid-air on Saturday, having forgotten the two foot drop.  There will be no entry to the shop until repairs.

Haldimand Land History

R.L.Moore, United Empire Loyalist, looking for his century farm on the Warner Nelles Tract in Seneca Township, Haldimand County. Land surveyed and conveyed in 1835."Every property has a history," Penny Plunkett-Dmyterko, of P.L.P. Titles Ltd., explains to the York Grand River Historical Society.

Since the 1980s, Penny has spent much of her time in the Registry Office in the village of Cayuga.
Recently, she has focused on historical research for anyone interested in knowing how many times their property has changed ownership and acquiring a copy of their Crown Patent -- the first document (or deed) granted by the British King or Queen.
