Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
It seems that Kathy and I didn’t quite get as much fresh air
as we figured we did yesterday which meant we were dragging ourselves out of
bed this morning. We made plans on what we wanted to accomplish today while
having breakfast. Kathy planned on making this a cooking day while I planned on
working on doing more downloading from my old PC.
As soon as we finished our morning reading Kathy managed to
make it to the kitchen unimpeded but she reminded me that we still had to pack
away the large pictures and other wall hangings that were still hanging on the
walls. That remark alone changed my focus from working on the PC to removing most everything hung on
the wall and all their fastenings. With only two small shelves still hanging in
our office the rest of the walls are bare.
Now another problem arose we didn’t have any boxes or
containers to pack them into. I found out what is advertised online at Home
Depot or Lowes
in the US is not always
available in Canada. The closest boxes I found on the U-Haul site that would do the job I needed
were meant for Big Screen Tvs. However
when I called the local distributors they didn’t have any of those boxes but
did have some for storing Pictures or
Mirrors. Dah!
Shortly after lunch when I returned from getting the boxes Kathy
helped me to safely package our possessions. With the intent to load them immediately
into the truck I walked those large boxes out only to find out the wind speed
had increased and was trying to make kites of the boxes even as I held on. Loading
the other containers was much easier because I could use the utility cart.
At 2:30 I had to run an errand. Our daughter Karen had called
last night asking if I could pick up our grandson Tyler at home by 2:45 and
drop him off at the dentist two miles away and his dad Greg would pick him up
on his way home from work. Tyler was waiting when I got there and five minutes
later he was at his Dentist appointment and thankful for the lift.
Back at the apartment Kathy and I headed over to Guardian
Storage where we added
our load of things to our possessions in our Climate Controlled Storage Unit. Even though we had food that Kathy
had just cooked this morning sitting in the fridge so the flavors would blend
overnight Kathy said she had a taste for tacos so a short drive away we went to
Taco Bell and enjoyed a quiet supper that included some people watching.
While watching the 6 o’clock News we could hear a rumbling
sound outside and were surprised when the weatherman told us it was thunder. Looking
outside rain was coming down quite intensely not what we need at this time of
year but at least we don’t have to shovel rain. As I write this post the
thunder continues to pound away outside. Thanks for following
along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
