Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
I am hoping that this does not become a
habit. It seems lately the only way that I’m getting a full night of sleep is
to proceed it with a restless one. Kathy it seems as soon as her head hits the
pillow the next thing she remembers is waking up in the morning.

After another late start to breakfast we
finally got to the computers by 9:00 this morning. Having already glanced
outside at the sky I knew things weren’t too promising. Checking the Weather Network only confirmed my
suspicions and within a half hour we only had to watch the drizzling rain
covering our neighbour’s patio. That meant the grass was being watered by
nature and I could spend most of the day doing data entries on my computer.
For lunch Kathy made certain there would
be nothing in the fridge that would spoil so after she recreated a few things
we had an early but tasty lunch. Kathy insisted on doing the dishes by herself
while I continued copying the particular file even though the rain had finally
stopped.

At 2:30 we were on our way to Windsor where our first stop at Guardian
Storage
netted us the end of the week’s mail which contained a Thank You from our friend Kathie for what we did to make the Memorial Celebration a success. Strangely
from the storage yard we were headed back to Kathie’s
apartment
where I had to remeasure a sill plate that I was going to make for her. With
everything going on the day of the Memorial
for Ross I had failed to mark things down so of course I forgot the exact
sizes.
We couldn’t stay long because we were on
our way to our daughter Karen’s home for our granddaughter Kylla’s twenty-first birthday celebration.
Even with the morning showers we had the Humidex
was still 108 F (42 C) by 4:30 so we felt quite
comfortable sitting inside the Air
Conditioned house. Our son-in-law Greg was busy outside smoking Spare Ribs
and grilling Chicken Kabobs. Soon Greg’s parents Ray and Rose as well as Kevin
and Melissa arrived with Cameron and Matthew. Karen had been busy sautéing a number of vegetable dishes
and making a great Caesar’s Salad.

The food was all delicious and the
temptation to go back for seconds was great but I only had seconds on the salad
and baked beans. As most of us were finishing our meal Kylla’s sister Ashley
and her boyfriend Derek finally arrived after having just gotten off of work.

Letting our meal digest it was Kylla’s turn
to open her gifts which she was more than appreciative of. Sandford kept
looking in the gift bags and it wouldn’t be until later that we knew what he
was doing. Every year at Christmas he gets his own gifts and
with a little help finishes opening them himself so he was looking for his gift.
Don’t forget he is a Furkid as well.
After enjoying a tasty piece of cake along with a cup of Tea, it was past 8:00
by the time everyone started saying their goodbyes. After arriving Home I’ve since E-mailed pictures to both Kylla and Karen.
Hopefully we’ll soon be hearing some
positive news about the truck so that I can get some of the work done on it
that I need to do. We are also looking forward to some slightly cooler temperatures
that are supposed to be heading to our area. Finally, we are also going to be
adding something new to our Krackers section of our blog because we believe
many can use a few Words of
Inspiration. Thanks for following along and
feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
