Hard to believe that it was warmer during the day today than
yesterday. Last night the temperature cooled down even more than the night
before. Had to look at the calendar to be certain that this is the month of July.
When we got out of bed this morning Kathy needed to put a hoodie on to take the
chill out of her shoulders. The weather this year is all over the place!
After having breakfast and a quick peek at the computers I headed
outside to flush the tanks and stow the waste hoses in preparation for tomorrow’s
trip up to Huntsville. Kathy was busy inside vacuuming more of the dirt that
got embedded in the carpet while I was working on the trailer back at the
storage yard. No matter how much you scrubbed your feet on the outside mat it
is unbelievable how much dirt and tiny stones you would trek in. They really
hurt when you step on them in your bare feet.
She was also examining our new Shout-Out cell phone trying
to learn some of the functions on this smart phone when suddenly our daughter
Karen was saying Hello. Kathy had inadvertently dialed Karen’s cell phone by
simply touching one of the icons on the screen. They both had a laugh and Karen
called her back on our house phone. That is right our house phone. When we
travel in Canada we simply bring our Turbo Hub with us and anyone calling our
home will make contact with us wherever we are in Canada. All our Canadian long
distance calls are free and it only cost us an additional five dollars a month
for us to have unlimited US long distance as well. The Turbo Hub also doubles
as our MiFi hotspot when in Canada only.
After lunch we went back into London and busied ourselves
Shopping. It was a productive day of Christmas
shopping. With only 168 days left before Christmas Day we
were taking advantage of looking through Brand Name stores that we don’t have
around home. We managed to scratch a few more items off the list today but all
the walking we did totally wore off all the calories we ate the last two days.
At least we’re hoping!
Still searching for a few more things we headed further
across town on Dundas Avenue. In the process we spotted a Home Hardware store
where we stopped in to get “That Stuff for Pain”. That’s right a topical pain
medication that you simply spray on and it brings relief to any number of pains
including headaches and it is only sold at Home Hardware stores.
Right across the street was the Pioneer gas station where I filled
up with the first Canadian fuel that I have put in the truck in nearly a year. At
$1.259 a liter that works out to $4.765 a US gallon it is no wonder I prefer
fueling up in the US ($0.951 a liter). Since it took over 300 liters (80
gallons) to fill up the inside attendant thought that I was filling a semi.
It was now past 6:00 and looking down the street we saw a
Kings Chinese Buffet. In the front was a sign saying that Thursdays were $9.99 for
seniors. Remember all that walking we did today wearing down the calories from
the last two days of eating out. We didn’t need the Fortune Cookies to tell us
that there is much more walking in our futures. Thanks for following along and
feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
