Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
I managed to sleep so soundly last night
that I found myself staring at the ceiling at 7:00 this morning so I figured
instead of tossing around until the alarm would go off I simply started my day
early. I still went through my regular routine of opening all the window blinds
and getting as much as possible ready for breakfast. Since Kathy hadn’t roused
from her sleep yet I started running scans on my computer because the last
couple of nights when I shut it down I would find it still running the
following morning. Last night after selecting the Shut Down mode to the Power
Setting I waited over fifteen
minutes before actually pulling both its power sources to make it happen.
I made certain that Kathy was up minutes
after 8:00 and even though she admitted she could have slept longer she also
realizes that by curbing the number of hours of sleep that she is getting, the
sleep she is getting is deeper, undisturbed and more refreshing.
After having breakfast and sitting at
the computers I made a couple of phone calls while Kathy got caught up on her
morning reading. We then busied ourselves rearranging our living room because
we were expecting company. I also moved the truck over to our neighbour’s site
since he won’t be back for another week thus giving my parking spot to our guest.
We were meeting with my sister Anna for
lunch at the 19th Hole Restaurant at 11:30 but from 11:10 the numbers I had
called earlier were finally getting back to me. By the time we were finally
walking out the door the phone was again ringing but this time it was Anna
saying she had arrived.
It only took us three minutes to drive
to the front of the park and to get our welcoming hugs in before going inside.
Even though today was Friday we chose to have a Chicken Club Sandwich for our meal. That gave us plenty of time to
start getting caught up on what had been happening with our families. The meal
was delicious as usual and the place was packed but there was only one waitress
taking care of everyone. Just as we were leaving the second waitress showed up
after having had car problems.
We had Anna follow us to our site and
she seemed in awe just looking at our new trailer from the outside. Having been
in our Avalanche she commented that
our New Home looked bigger. When she was
inside she had the same reaction that we had the first time we saw it “This is a Home.” We explained the
differences and all the extras that we have now compared to before. After giving
her the grand tour she was trying to figure out how it would all close up for
traveling. Our conversation went back to family where we continued getting
caught up. It was nearly 3:30 when we said our goodbyes and Anna complimented
us on our New Home.

At that point we set our office back up
and started getting ready to make supper. Even though our lunch had been lite
but filling we had to eat supper early because I had a chore to do. I grilled a
couple of Johnsonville Brats on the Weber Q while Kathy gather some picnic
type sides to finish off our meal. With everything put together it all tasted
great.
My chore was to do the laundry. By the
time it was sorted and loaded it was just after 5:00 by the time I arrived at
the Park Laundry Room. I had the choice of
machines so as soon as I’d transferred the washed clothes to the dryers I walked
back to the trailer. By the time the delicate clothes had been hung to dry in
the shower I had time to watch part of the 6
o’clock News before heading back to fold the clothes. It was after 8:00 by
the time we got all the folded clothes put away where they belonged and I was
able to call it a day.
We didn’t travel far today but tomorrow
looks like another run around day. Thanks for
following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

It's impossible to walk past your home without
triggering a barking frenzy.
Always wonderful to get with family. Glad you had another opportunity to make memories with your sister.
