You've probably driven through it... Appleton is just off the TCH between Gander and Grand Falls
DeleteI'm going to have to google those items because I still have no idea where you live.
ReplyDeleteNewfoundland & Labrador - its an Eastern Canadian province

ReplyDeleteNice blog!
Its very snowy here now - but there are lots of outdoor things to do
DeleteWhat a cute idea. I wouldn't have done it for where I live now, but naming locations would've been fun with my home state of Oregon.
ReplyDeleteI bet there are a lot of dun names in Oregon
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteanother A word! thanks

Not a warm sunny island right now, but I love it
DeleteThanks for the tour of your island via the towns...have you visited them all?? I've been to PEI, but none of the other Maritime provinces...maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteironically PEI is the only maritime province I haven't been to
Deletea friend of mine was a judge for Tidy Towns! I'm going to ask her if she was there when this town won (sounds like it was a few years in a row) She said the experience was amazing - I just love the name 'tidy towns'. ha.
ReplyDeleteTidy Towns kind of rolls off the tongue doesn't it? I bet being a judge would be a great experience
DeleteGood names, indeed. I like Athlone, even if i don't hail from the midlands in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteThat, or Avondale - wonderful sound to the name.
Welcome to April!
if you look at a bunch of NL place names, you can start to see the english, the irish, the french, and all the other origins
DeleteI don't know why but I'm partial to the "Arnold's Cove" name :)
ReplyDeletedo you know an Arnold?
DeleteI dig the sign - room to grow!
ReplyDeletewith a population of just over 560 people, there is lots of room to grow!
DeleteA great town to claim as one's 'home town'! I look forward to a look see about your place.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to limit my words when I get to my home town :)
Deletethere are A lot of A's but even more B's
ReplyDeleteTown of Appleton. How absolutely LOVELY! And that is an amazing list of A's!!

ReplyDeletethere will be more I promise!

The Eagle's Aerial Perspective
there are some intresting names
DeleteAquiller catches my eye because I can see a couple of ways one could pronounce and both of those could be wrong. "A killer" "a quill er". Either way I like it, because the word quill is a favorite to look at and it nestles nicely in there!
ReplyDeleteQuill kind of does roll nicely off the tongue (why is it a fav?)
DeleteVery nice!!
ReplyDeleteReturning your visit. Nice to meet you!

DeleteA great list of names. I love listing names - they almost form a poetry of their own.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of it like that -poetry
DeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. I love to see the names of different cities. In Texas we have some dusey. I don't live far from a town called "Cut and Shoot". Yes that is a real town.

DeleteThe only Appleton I know of is in Wisconsin :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am here to welcome you to the Challenge!
KarenG
Didn't know there was an Appleton in Wisconsin... see I learned something new today :)
DeleteMy first thought was Appleton, Wisconsin, too. But then I read your profile. My grandparents were from Sunnyside and Pouch Cove. Love it up there. http://mainelywrite.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHave you been to the island recently?
DeleteOh, it was in 2003 that we were there. My last trip was with my family (two brothers and sister and mom)as adults without spouses. Mom had just been diagnosed with cancer, so we went for one of the most blessed trips I've ever been on! Met relatives, drove between St. John's, Pouch Cove, Sunnyside and made lots of side trips each day. Did lots of genealogy, too. What a glorious trip to a glorious province! My sister just sold her property up in Pouch Cove that she bought soon after our trip, so she's been up there more recently.
Deletewell prehaps its time for you to come again
DeleteSounds so quaint! Nice to meet you~
ReplyDeleteI love your idea, very clever~
You live in a beautiful area :D
thank you!
DeleteYour town sounds like a lovely place! Appleton is a great name. Thanks for commenting in my place. I'll keep checking yours!

DeleteReturning your visit. What a lot of A names where you are.Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeletethere are a lot of small communities in Newfoundland, some of the names are quite fun
Deleteyes b'y!
ReplyDeleteWhat unique and interesting place names... certainly a point for inspiration.
ReplyDeletethere are some great names if you're ever stuck :)
DeleteDo they seriously have a provincial contest for "Tidy Towns"? That is so cute!
ReplyDeleteyep! and every town who wins posts a sign in their community - it helps make a place feel more home in my opinion :)
DeleteI can't wait to see some of the unusual letters later.
ReplyDeletethere are some dandy names on the horizon!
