Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Sleeping in until nearly 8:30 this morning we enjoyed a
leisurely breakfast as we watched the Weather Network on the television. Since we are still
in the month of February we thought it to be strange that they would be
forecasting near sixty degree temperatures for our area today but looking out
the balcony door all the accumulated blanket of snow had disappeared overnight.
We spent time getting ourselves ready to go out this morning because
the building owners had left us notice of a possible new tenant coming to see
our apartment and we did not feel like being here. We headed out shortly after
11:00 and arrived at the Devonshire Mall before 11:30. We were there just to get
out of the apartment and look around. We had decided on having Chinese food
from one of the vendors in the food court for lunch. It was better than the
fast-foods but not enough that we’d be ordering Take-out through them. While we
ate our food we indulged ourselves in another of our favorite past times we
were people watching. Kathy and I have a hard time accepting what some people
wear as being fashionable, comfortable or in some cases decent. Oh well it does
give us some laughs. It is cute when young parents are eating while their
babies are looking at them and wondering what they are doing. Or they are introducing
young toddlers to French fries that get poked anywhere on their faces but in
their mouths.
We ran into our granddaughter Ashley at her part-time job as
she is still in University. We only spent a minute but she enjoyed our saying
hello. We went into nearly every store there was just looking at what they
sold. Imagine the looks we got going into stores that catered to school aged to
young adult customers. Finally by 3:00 we stopped for a fruit smoothie and a
chance to sit for a bit. All that walking on hard surfaces today will surely
remind us tomorrow.
It was after 4:30 when we started making our way home but
first we stopped at the Pioneer gas station to fill the car with gas
for $0.757 a liter. Like the Diesel the
other day we have not seen gas prices this low in Ontario in seven years. Let’s
hope they stay down for some time to come. We also stopped at Taco
Bell for a couple of
tacos each for our supper.
After watching the 6 o’clock News we went over to our
daughter Karen’s home
for a visit. Sanford has missed our visits so much that he wouldn’t leave us
alone and Greg had to command him to lay down. The temperatures today actually
hit 59 F (15 C) but the winds were gusting to 45 mph. We had an enjoyable visit
but as we were about to leave when Karen showed us how the wind had moved their
heavy metal Gazebo on their side deck. The wind had picked it up and put it
back down ten feet from where it had been with no damage to it or the house. Lucky!
Tomorrow we have a busy day planned but it is all part of
getting ready for our Fulltiming
Adventure. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave
a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

People watching is a good pass time, I've been doing it for years.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be there when they showed the place to someone.
