Our Location today is London, Ontario, Canada.
Just as the day ended yesterday it started today with rain.
There were actually some heavier showers throughout the night that made enough
noise on the roof that it woke us up. We’ve been in plenty of storms before in
this trailer and never heard it rain that loud. Knowing that our first visit of the
day wasn’t booked until well after lunch we took our time getting out of bed
just before 8:00 this morning.
The entire morning during breakfast working at the computers
and having lunch the rain continued creating small lakes throughout the
campground including a large one at the end of our steps. Luckily it seemed to
come in waves periodically easing before once again coming down in torrents.
Our stop for today was visiting with my sister Anna at her
home in London. Anna keeps track of our daily activities and travels by reading
our blog every morning besides keeping in contact by phone and E-mail. We always
have plenty to talk about when we get together and today was no exception. Even
though the rain was still coming down pretty good when we arrived at her home somewhere
during our visit the sun came out and the rain finally stopped.
For supper we drove up Wonderland Drive to East Side Mario’s
for something we were all craving and it has been quite a while since any of us
have been there. Even during the meal the conversation never ended. Anna
knowing we try to save money whenever we can just happened to spot a sign
showing a 10% discount for Auto Club members. By simply showing my membership
card helped make eating there all the more appetizing.
As we dropped Anna back at her house and said our good byes
and safe travels the rain slowly started again ending the last of our
conversation for this time. Thanks for the wonderful visit Anna and we’ll be
seeing you again soon.
Kathy and I stopped at the nearby Freshco grocery store to
pick up a few things that we didn’t have at the apartment to bring on this
trip. We actually managed to get a fair amount of our purchases on sale which
again helped to save some money. Freshco was a good choice! Thanks Anna for recommending it.
Coming outside with our groceries we were once again met by
brilliant blue skies but you could see the rain clouds off in the distance. As we
traveled back to the campground it almost looked like we were chasing the
storm down the highway. By the time we rolled back into the campground most of
the water around our trailer had dissipated but had not totally disappeared.
Just as Kathy was about to shot this picture the sun started to blind us as well as it started to rain again. |
Tomorrow our visiting begins earlier by having lunch out
with my aunt and uncle. The weather should be a lot dryer and cooler making it
for a more relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for following along and feel free to
leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

You've had more court dates than second dates.
We had our share of rain yesterday as well. Nice to visit relatives when you can take your own house. Enjoy you time in London.
