Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Last night we both slept fairly soundly after finally
getting to sleep. Kathy was still dreaming of Fulltiming in the trailer. What
we couldn’t figure was why we were both up wide awake shortly after 7:00 this
morning. We finished the quiche that Kathy had made yesterday for our breakfast
before going to the computers
Shortly after noon hour we went to the Advanced Polling Station to cast
our vote for the upcoming federal election here in Canada. We always make
certain to use our democratic rights that were hard fought for and protected by
those who have served our country during times of conflict. In some parts of
the world people are run by dictatorships and don’t have the same rights we
have. For those that don’t vote they give up their right to criticize the
government if they don’t agree with their policies and decisions.
We stopped in to visit with our daughter Karen
at her home. The family had gone away to the cottage for the long weekend but
decided to come home yesterday to beat the holiday traffic. It still took them
three hours longer coming home than when the left on Friday. Today would have
been terrible driving the highways down from cottage country. Our grandson
Tyler wasn’t home last week when we’d told Karen and Greg about our decision to
go Fulltiming. When we told Tyler today
at first he thought that we were pulling his leg. Then when he realized we were
serious he asked how he was going to skateboard to our location for ice cream
like he does now at our apartment. We all laughed.
Yesterday while talking to Grant and Sandy they had told us
where they would be moving to. They even suggested after we come off the road
that might be the place to move into. Since they’ll be paying a flat rate rent
that is cheaper than our present rent it might be something to consider. We checked
the area out and like they said we might consider it some years down the road.
Stopping back at the apartment we gathered everything we
were bringing to the Thanksgiving celebration into the car and headed out
early. We were on a mission to check out another RV park that we had heard about
on the way. When we arrived at the Wildwood Golf and RV Resort the first thing we
did was go to the office. Even though neither of us golf we got all the
information we needed. We were also given a map of available sites for next
season and allowed to drive around and check things out. The park has a laundry
room only as big as the one at our apartment but has two pools, a playground,
workout room, recreation hall and a restaurant that is open six months of the
year.
When we finally arrived at Kevin and Melissa’s we sat and
talked about Wildwood
Resort. We also talked of other things before sitting down and
having our Canadian Thanksgiving Celebration with them. Unfortunately our diets
went out the window today as there were so many different dishes to try that
were not typical of this holiday. Once the meal was over we spent more time
talking of everything that’s gone on in the last couple of weeks. We all agreed
that none of us will need to eat breakfast tomorrow morning.
The food was all great but the company was the best. Thanks Kevin and
Melissa for celebrating this special day with us. Also we’d like to
wish to our extended RV family and followers a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Thanks giving celebrations are always fun and lots of food to sample as well.
