Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Again we managed to have a restful sleep with the windows
open last night but by early this morning the humidity was starting to rise so
it was time to turn the Air Conditioner on again. Even though the actual
temperature would have been comfortable with the high humidity, high pollen
count and an approaching afternoon rainstorm that would make it feel like 97 F
(36 C) just weighed in on the decision.
With breakfast out of the way we were both busy on the
computers when the phone rang at 9:00 to confirm an afternoon visit. At that
point our attention shifted away from the office. Kathy went into high gear
straightening up the place while I spent the next hour finishing the drawer and
breadbox for the trailer and I even repaired the loose base on a lamp. Everything
went together beautifully and Kathy was in awe over the finished products.
I was now able to pack away the tools and supplies back into
the truck thus taking away the temporary mess that I had created in the corner
of the living room while waiting for the stain to dry. When I returned from the
truck I stopped to gather the mail before getting back upstairs. I found Kathy busy
vacuuming the apartment in preparation for our visitors.
We finished off the last of the Lasagna that Kathy baked the
other day for lunch. After washing up the dishes we finally got back to the
computers to finish our morning reading. I even had a chance to take photos of
a few more articles we want to sell on Kijiji and send a few E-mails out soon
after.
Seconds before 2:00 the phone rang announcing the arrival of
my aunt Anna and cousin Jackie. I had spent the entire summer at her home when I
was only ten. At that time my mother was in the hospital and not expected to
ever come home. What the doctors didn’t count on back then was her will to
live. Even though both my parents passed away over twenty years ago I still
hold a special place in my heart for my aunt and uncle. We visited for a couple
of hours getting caught up on all kinds of things. The rain did fall in the
form of a light drizzle while we were visiting but had stopped before they
left.
I managed to put a few more things in the truck so that I can
bring them to the trailer in the morning. Thanks for following along and feel
free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
