Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
We managed to keep ourselves awake until after the evening
news last night but we probably fell asleep as soon as our heads hit our
pillows. I don’t even recall waking up any time before 7:15 this morning when
my back told me it was time to rise.
Not wanting to wake Kathy I sat in the living room
reassembling the hardware on the doors and breadbox that we had to restain for
the trailer. I was in the process of finishing the last piece on the breadbox
when Kathy appeared in the room. Seeing what I was doing, she automatically
started getting breakfast ready.
As soon as we were finished eating Kathy went to check on
the morning blog posts and her E-mail while I started loading the truck. It
felt good to pick up the tarp we use when I have one of these projects in the
drying stages. It finally looked like home again.
By 9:00 we were on our way to the trailer at the storage
yard. The reason for such an early start was that the Weather Channel’s
forecast for today include a Humidex that would reach the century mark along
with possible thunderstorms. By getting it all installed during the cool part
of the morning helped to keep us from looking like a couple of very wet Rag Dolls.
The first place we went to after the trailer was the
specialty shop that had been closed when we arrived yesterday afternoon. We
looked around the shop before finally talking to the proprietor. We explained
what we were looking for and why. He went online trying to find something
locally for us with no luck. That’s when he suggested that we try an online
site meant for collectors. We made another stop before arriving home.
The first thing we did at home was to have lunch. Then Kathy
started wrapping more of the Christmas Gifts we
had purchased over the last few days. My job was back to the computer to
continue looking for that special gift. After striking out on the site that we
were told to visit this morning I decided to go back to E-Bay. I had searched
that site repeatedly over the last few days without any luck other than the
ones that were priced through the roof. Would you believe there were three new
listings just today at reasonable prices on the Buy
Now listing page. With Kathy by my side we reviewed each one before
making our choice. We can now say with only 117
shopping days until Christmas we have officially bought our last gift
for this year. We just have to wait for the last gift to arrive from New York City.
Kathy needed some wrapping supplies so we headed over to the
dollar store before going over to the Michigan Diner for supper tonight. Back
at the apartment Kathy finished wrapping the rest of the gifts on hand. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
