Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
We both managed to get a
good night’s sleep and even slept a little later then expected. The sound of
the rain tapping away on the roof helped to keep us in that relaxed frame of
mind. After having our breakfast, we settled in at our Computers to finish drinking our way too hot Coffee/Tea while we got caught up on everyone we try to follow on a
daily basis.
By 9:30 the rain had eased
so before it would start coming down as hard again we loaded ourselves into the
truck and headed for Windsor. We had no idea how long we would be
away from Home
today because we had quite the list of things we needed to accomplish.
Our first stop was at our Accountants Office to pick up our completed Income Tax Returns, It was only two days ago we had dropped off all
the documents that the needed to get the job done quickly. They complimented Kathy
on her organizing of the documents that made it very easy for them to do it so
quickly. They were amazed of the things we related seeing while we were away
and they both expressed the dream to do the same someday.
From the Accountants Office we headed over to Guardian Storage where after collecting our latest Mail we drove back to our Climate
Controlled Storage Unit. Along with our small File Cabinet and Document Shredder
we also collected an number of toiletries and office supplies that we had
gathered over a year ago while still living in our Apartment in Tecumseh. We also checked a few other things
that we’ll be using as needed without having to go buy it. Living in our RV is not the same as living in a
sticks and bricks house or apartment where you can buy bulk. Now we will slowly
recoup some of that earlier investment.
We didn’t realize that it
was past noon when we left our Storage
Unit so we chose to go for lunch before continuing with more errands. Even
though we give our children and grandchildren personal gifts that we figure
they can use, we encourage them to strictly give us Gift Cards. Kathy just happen to have one of those Gift Cards that would allow us to eat
at East-Side
Mario’s a very popular Italian
Food Restaurant. Luckily their Luncheon
Menu includes meals of smaller portions so we didn’t waddle back to the
truck once we were finished eating.
We stopped at Fabricland
where Kathy had the problem of selecting a special trim for a special project
from a massive selection of materials they have in stock.
Our next stop was the Motor City
Credit Union where we went to do
some banking. As we were about to leave former neighbours Gates and Melanie from
the apartment in Tecumseh pulled up. We talked briefly and found out they
also moved from the building and they invited us over to their new place for a
visit.
We went over to Walmart
in search of a Frying Pan with a
metal handle that we can use on our Weber
Q. the Fry Pans we do have are
stuck in the kitchen cabinet that is blocked by the Slide we can’t open for the time being. Even with all their
selection of cookware we couldn’t find one that worked for us. We did find a
few other things that we needed however.
Heading over to Canadian Tire we struck pay-dirt not only finding the perfect Frying Pan but also the Garbage Bags we use in our Recycle Bins in our RV.
We were almost back to Walker Road when I remembered we had forgotten to get the Ink-Jet Cartridges for our printer
while at Walmart.
Instead of going back we stopped in at Staples where they had the cartridges On Sale cheaper than I remembered them
at Walmart.
On our way Home
we needed to run the Wipers a few times
but got ourselves and everything we had picked up today inside before the rain
started again. Rain has a calming
effect on the both of us but when the Distant
Thunder started becoming more intense Kathy started getting nervous.
Still satisfied from lunch
we both only needed a simple sandwich for our supper. Kathy has already thinned
out a number of files that we no longer need from one file drawer. Tomorrow’s
forecast is for more rain so it looks like I’ll be busy on the phone while Kathy
sorts the second file drawer. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
