It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Wonderful Sleep, Getting Ready and Happy Thanksgiving.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

That was a switch. After staring at the ceiling for nearly a Half Hour in my Recliner last night, I would spend the next Eight Hours actually sleeping in Bed. I barely made it to the Kitchen this morning when Kathy came out to join me. She had felt that my side of the Bed was empty with her hand and with the Sun peeking around the end of the Window Blind, she knew it was time to get up.

The outdoor temperature had risen to a balmy 32 F (0 C) by 9:00 and would make it all the way to 34 F (1 C) but that didn't stop us from getting out to simply stretch our legs and do some necessary shopping.

Of course, that included a stop at Wendy's for a very late lunch. We had a chance to speak with the Daytime Manager about our weekend experiences at this location. Apparently, I was not alone in reporting those same problems. They will be a meeting with the Franchise Owner, sharing my suggestions.

We stopped at Shoppers Drug Mart at the Tecumseh Mall to pick up supplies that will be needed this weekend. We normally like to patronize the location closest to our home but if they don't have what we need, we would have to come to this location anyways. Luckily, we walked out with everything we needed.

Back at our building I dropped Kathy at the front entrance before going to park the Car. With last night's weather forecast in mind, I moved the Brush, Sweeper, Scrapper to the backseat and filled the Windshield Washer Bottle for the Winter season.

I was still cold by the time I got upstairs. The first thing I did inside the Apartment was to replace my Jacket with a Winter Coat. I then went out onto the Balcony to install our Sleeve Air Conditioner Cover for the Winter. Inside the difference was noticeable within a short time.

With an upcoming appointment, I was told to bring Dark Coloured Glasses to wear after an Eye Procedure. When we watched the Solar Eclipse from our Balcony last year, I had brought home Two of my Welding Shields and Two Pair of Cutting Glasses. Both Kathy and I wore the Cutting Glasses under the Welding Shields to safely watch the entire Eclipse. The Shields were returned to our Storage Unit the next day, but the Cutting Glasses were kept here. When Kathy tried them on in the Livingroom this afternoon, she nearly fell over the chair. Most Sunglasses have a sun blocking strength of One, while these can be used for Oxy-Acetylene Cutting with a sun blocking strength of Five. I think they'll do the trick.

I spent more time on the phone getting frustrated, while trying to get some straight answers from our Credit Card Companies. At least I can now access our accounts.

When we went to watch our "6 o'clock Local News" it was being preempted by "US Thanksgiving Day Football". After watching a few episodes of "Forensic Files" we were able to watch the "11 o'clock Local News". The reason things were banging around on our Balcony yesterday was because the Westerly Winds were gusting up to 55 MPH (90 KMH) and being Eight Floors up, you feel it even more. We only had light breezes today. The heavy accumulations forecasted for this coming weekend, have been rescheduled for next week.

There's more to do before the weekend gets here, so I won't be sitting around tomorrow.

Kathy and I hope that our US Family, Friends and Readers enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving.
