Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
In last night’s blog I presumed that I would sleep fairly
well due to exhaustion and I was right. I also wrote that when we visited with
Kevin and Melissa that Melissa had prepared quite a few snacks in celebration
of our birthdays that we all nibbled on throughout our visit and we appreciated
it. Nibbling day and night is something that young people can easily do but it
is not something that Kathy and I are used to. Kathy’s tummy was rumbling &
reminded her of her late snacks until after 3:00 when she finally fell asleep.
We were up at 8:30 and finished breakfast by 9:00. Kathy
again used my laptop while I had my morning shower in preparation for my 10:30
follow-up appointment with my surgeon. After doing a few more things we were on
our way.
The surgeon was happy with the results and I haven’t had any
further pains around the incision since before we left for Florida. We both
wished one another the best with the promise that if I needed his services
again I’d be calling.
We then stopped at the storage yard where I looked inside in
an attempt to find a program disc that I usually carry with us and to examine
Kathy’s bicycle to see if I could determine the handle bar stem size. I struck
out on both accounts.
We then made a quick stop at Princess Auto where I purchased
a new torque wrench for checking the wheel nuts with.
We stopped at Walmart looking for an organizing bin that Kathy
wants for the bedroom closet. Another strike out.
As we pulled out of one driveway we pulled in to another. We
stopped at the Michigan Roadhouse where we had lunch because with everything we
needed to do there was no time to run home to make something up.
Back on the road we drove out to Essex to pick up Kathy’s
laptop at Sx-Video. Dillon powered it up to demonstrate and explain everything
he had to do to it. I immediately noted the lack of pop-ups and knew Kathy would
be happy.
On our return we stopped at a few more stores looking for
Kathy’s organizer. We struck out at each one of them but we were getting more
ideas for Christmas gifts since it is only 237 days away. You just can’t
start too soon.
We did hit pay-dirt when we stopped at Home
Hardware and even though they didn’t have it in stock we were able to order a
Mr. Heater Big Buddy. Our plans for the future are to boondock without using
the furnace or shore power. Since they sell those more in the winter they had
to order it for us and it should be in next Thursday.
We finally got home just before 4:00 and while
Kathy jumped in to the shower because we had a dinner date I set up her
computer. When she finally tried it she said it never worked this well before.
There were no more pop-ups and she could actually read our blog with nothing
blocking her view.
At 6:00 we met our friends Bill and Vera at Red
Lobster for supper but they surprised us by treating us for our birthdays. The meal
was wonderful where everything was done to perfection but the conversation and
visit we had was better. We all had a chance to talk about what has been happening
and our plans for the future. Tables all around our table changed patrons a
couple of times but we were all just enjoying the present company of one
another. Finally we said our best wishes and headed for home.
Tomorrow we still have things that need to be prepped
for next Friday so the excitement continues to grow. Thanks for
following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

We love our Mr Buddy heater, for the size of your trailer I think a Blue Flame Propane heater would do a better job.
ReplyDeleteThose long, after dinner conversations with friends are the best, aren't they? You're right--you two never stop being busy!!
