Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Surprisingly we both had another great
night’s sleep but when the clock showed 8:00 this morning I thought we had to
get our day started. We were expecting guests today and I presumed we were
meeting them for lunch. It didn’t take Kathy long to correct that train of
thought telling me it was for 5:00 which meant she could have slept later. That
meant there was only one thing to do after eating breakfast and finishing our
morning reading, we started our chores.
At 8:30 The Weather Network showed the Humidex
for McGregor was already 97 F (36 C) so my first
chore was getting things watered outside before it got too hot. Kathy was
gathering the towels to go with the rest of the laundry that I was about to start
sorting before she dug out the vacuum for a house cleaning day.
This turned out to be a very unusual day
because normally the Park Laundry Room is packed until after lunch
but when I got there at 10:30 there was only one other person taking their
clothes from the dryers. By 11:45 I was back at the trailer after having transferred
everything to the dryer. As soon as I walked in the trailer I could tell Kathy
had been busy the entire time because even with the Air Conditioner working she
was sweating profusely. After she cooled down a bit we worked together to dress
up a couple of salads with shredded chicken and cherry tomatoes just the way we each liked it for lunch.
I was back at the Park Laundry Room by 12:30 so I checked and found some of
the clothes to be dry enough to fold before the end of the cycle. When the
second dryer stopped and I checked the clothes they were still dripping wet. The
heat had not turned on so the clothes just tumbled for an hour. That was the
first problem I’ve had with these machines but I had a bigger problem. When I went
home for lunch I’d brought the jar we keep our laundry money in back to the
trailer and left it there. I then had to walk back to get more coins so that I could
move our clothes to a dryer that worked. That caused me not to finish the
laundry until nearly 2:30. Luckily I had just got back to the laundry room when
the skies opened up and really gave the ground a good soaking.
Back at the trailer Kathy had been busy
doing more research and found a few more trailers locally that could fit our
needs but we have a slight problem. They are not at our preferred dealer that
we would like to deal with. Even though we were the ones who weren’t in a hurry
to start we now realize that the longer we wait to trade in our trailer the
less it will be worth. After a bit of discussion this afternoon we’ll go back
and have a talk with Rob at Sun Parlour Trailer tomorrow because we are now
less than three months before we’ll be on our way to the southwest.
The rest of the afternoon just flew by and
we mainly stayed inside due the 106 F
(41 C) Humidex outside. We were soon on our way to the 19th Hole Restaurant at the front of the park to meet with
our friend Louise and her husband Ray. We haven’t seen Louise in what seemed
like ages and this was our first time meeting Ray. As soon as we were all
seated the conversation never stopped as a fact the poor waitress had to come
back several times before we made our order. The meals were all delicious and
the service great as usual.
To free up the table we headed back to
our trailer where we showed them our home on wheels and answered many
questions. They are not RVers
themselves but have been considering it as a possible means of traveling. At times
there were multiple conversations going on at the same time but it was all
productive and informative at the same time. It was quite the shock when we saw
it was past 10:00 so after a little more talking we had to say our good nights but
we’ll be seeing them again before we go south.
Tomorrow we’ll try to get some of our
own questions answered so we’ll know what our next move is concerning our
trailer. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
