Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
When we had the Celestial Sleepy-time Tea the other night it
felt that we rested more than we slept that night. It must have been one of
those time release drinks because we’ve had a hard time keeping our eyes open
in the evenings and we’ve been sleeping solid since.
After having breakfast this morning and reading our usual
morning blogs we got ready to go to the trailer. Back in February I had
modified the nook in our front closet and added a shelf for Kathy’s tops. We
noticed that the shelves were deeper than they needed to be and after traveling
on some seriously bad roads we’d find the removable shelves on the floor. We discussed
how I would modify it to better work for us.

After opening the slides Kathy emptied the closet so I could
remove the shelf to modify it. Imagine our shock when I found most of my work
destroyed due to the bad roads we’d traveled on. The screws that I had
installed had been ripped completely through the plywood. By the time we left
the trailer it was nearly 1:00 so we stopped at Taco Bell and each had a Chicken
Quesadilla and pop for lunch. No fries today.
Back at the apartment Kathy went back to wrapping the last
of the gifts we have on hand so if anyone comes over nothing can be seen other
than wrapped gifts. I laid the shelving unit on the carpet and proceeded to disassemble
it removing all but four locking cams that will be reused. After applying
masking tape where the cuts will be made I reloaded all the pieces into the
truck. Kathy had completed all the wrapping leaving no gifts open to curious
eyes.

While I was making myself more presentable Kathy returned to
the computer where she found a number of Happy Mother’s Day Wishes for her
online. The phone was also ringing with the customary verbal greetings as well.
Since this was Mothers Day we had planned on going out for
supper. Our first choice was to stop at Swiss Chalet but when we walked in to
find it packed and a waiting line going out the door we went over to Kelsey’s.
It’d been a while since we were there so after waiting ten minutes just to
order our beverages we shared a Bruschetta that was tasty but dripping with Balsamic
Vinegar. We chose a Grilled Chicken Salad trying to eat lighter but it too was
dripping with Balsamic Vinegar to the point of making it difficult to enjoy the
meal.
After getting in the car to come home I looked in the
rear view mirror to see our daughter Karen and grandson Tyler walking towards
the car. Greg was taking her and the family for supper and they had just
arrived at Kelsey’s. After exchanging Mother’s Day wishes both ways we said we
would see them later. Hopefully they didn’t order the same things we did. Good
to their word they came over for a short visit around 9:00. We talked of our
upcoming trip and things that have to be done before we go.
Again we hope that everyone had a Happy Mother’s Day. Tomorrow we have appointments but we’ll also try to continue
getting ready for our next adventure that starts in eleven days. Then again
every day is an adventure for us. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
