Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
After having another very restful night it still took time
for our eyes to focus on what we were doing. First having breakfast and
watching the Weather Channel to see the wonderful weather our area will have
for the next few days and then finally we headed to the computers. Since there
was nothing pressing we took our time to catch up on all our reading.
Before long Kathy was back to researching our travels down
to Florida but it is not for this coming winter. Heck no all our plans have
been made for our 2014/15 trip this is for our 2015/16 trip. When Kathy reads a
blog about something or someplace that catches her interest and we haven’t done
that or been there she really digs into it. When we leave home on any of our
trips we already know where we’ll be staying and what we’ll be doing. Any research
done while on the road will be for another trip.
If you recall back in June I had done some cabinet making
for the trailer and when I applied the stain the color inside the can and what
it was labelled for were quite different. My plan was to go to the trailer by myself
and remove all the drawer faces, doors and breadbox and bring them back to the
apartment to redo them today.
Just as we were about to have our lunch the phone rang and
it was our friend Kathie. Her husband Ross had a major heart attack while at
work in Goderich yesterday morning. After he was stabilized he was then Air-transported
back to the local hospital in Windsor.
Once the lunch time dishes were washed and put away Kathy
and I headed over to the trailer where it took less than five minutes to do my
chore. We stopped at Sears so Kathy could get a new battery for her watch.
It was nearly 2:00 when we checked in at I.C.U. with a false
identification that I was Kathie’s brother. We surprised Kathie, Ross, daughter
Christine and their grandson Liam. In a way I really didn’t lie because when
our kids were all growing up together they always referred to me as uncle and
my kids did the same in return.
Of course we had to suit up with sterile gowns and gloves
before entering his room. Ross was very alert and glad to see Kathy and I. The nurses
kept coming and going checking this and that and giving him his medication. Ross
explained that everything was going well at work when suddenly he woke up as he
was about to be loaded into the medical transport helicopter. He commented that
his trip only took 26 minutes compared to the two and a half hour trip it would
have taken on the ground. Once we were sure that he was going to be okay and
that he might be home on Monday we said our see you later and headed out.
As we were heading for the expressway I was reminded that I was
still one clear plastic container short for the trailer and the east side
Walmart didn’t have it. Once we found the container we filled it with groceries
we also needed and headed for home.
Once everything was put away at the apartment we headed over
to the Michigan Diner for Fish and Chips. A great way to finish a busy day. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

"William," shouted his mother,
"there were two pieces of cake in the pantry last night and now there's
only one. How do you explain that?"
"It was dark in the pantry," explained
William, "and I didn't see the other piece."
I use Pinterest and pin every interesting post I read about some where where we haven't been. Really easy to use.
ReplyDeleteSending prayers for Ross and his family for comfort, healing and peace.
Hope Ross recovers well and soon.
ReplyDeletePlanning is something we do on the fly, the way we enjoy to travel, maybe a week or two ahead but thats about it for us.
This winter probably out west somewhere.
Please don't try that sneaking uncle stuff to get on an airline. Those security people have no sense of humor and we want you around! ;c)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate it when the stain and the labels don't match up... We have a single bookcase that is more yellow rather than the red we were hoping for. We are going to leave it as it will be covered with books and magazines later and I suspect I wont even notice it! Nice reading your blog and thanks for visiting my RV blog too! http://robbiebago.blogspot.com/
