Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Neither of us had any
problem falling asleep last night after a very tiring day. With a shortened
night’s sleep the night before due to Yesterday’s
Yard Sale and all the Fresh Air
we were exposed to yesterday we had trouble staying awake long enough to post
the Blog. Kathy was luckily sleeping
soundly when the sound of thunder started rumbling outside. It was just enough
to let me know we were having another storm before I fell back to sleep.

| The driving rain we woke up to. |
We both slept late this
morning but felt much better. With the Rain
continuing to fall there wasn’t much that could be done outside so after
breakfast, we finished our morning Coffee/Tea
while reading on the Computers. Then
after our morning chores were finished we wondered what else we could do with
the rest of the day. That’s when the sky started brightening and the rain
stopped.

While having Soup for lunch we discussed needing to
make space in the trailer. While we were away this past winter while most
people were shopping for Christmas Gifts for
2016 we were shopping for 2017 and getting some real bargains. All
those special purchases had to be stored someplace so that we could still
function in our Home
and not be tripping over them. We declared our purchases upon re-entry into Canada
and all the Immigrations Officer could
do was shake his head and welcome us back to Canada. When our Home
goes in for warranty work where these Gifts are stored will have to be EMPTY.
While I went outside to
dump the waste tanks Kathy dug the majority of the Gifts from our closet. I brought the
boxes that we had recently gotten inside so they could be packed but first I had
to empty the bottom shelves in our bedroom. It took some time to pack
everything in those boxes and get it loaded into the trunk of the car. Looking
in the bedroom we now had a lot of extra space for our clothes that we
recovered. Looking in the trunk of the car it was full. It was warm enough
outside we actually had to change into cooler clothing before heading out.
Our destination was Guardian
Storage in Windsor where the first thing we
did was pick up our mail. We then headed inside to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit where like last year we safely
added this year’s Christmas Gifts until the time comes to wrap &
distribute them.
The sky seemed to be
filling with clouds again when we left our Storage
Unit so we headed over to the East-End
Walmart. We thought that we would just
walk around to get some exercise but we ended up walking out with a few more
groceries to fill the empty spots in our pantry. As we were leaving Walmart
the sky was nearly Black in the West as we headed towards Tecumseh.
Kathy had brought one of
the Gift Cards so we could eat out.
It had been some time since we had gone to Swiss Chalet on
Manning Road for a meal so that is where we were headed. Were
we surprised when we walked in to find they were now sharing space with Harvey’s.
When Kathy asked the Hostess when
that took place she said last Christmas Eve. Swiss Chalet is famous for their Chicken Dinners but we know they are great at making Spare Ribs as well. We each ordered a Half Rack of Ribs that we could cut
with a butter knife. We left at least half our fries because there was just too
many and we still walked out very satisfied and we still have another meal on
our Gift Card. When we came outside
everything was very wet. It had rained quite heavily while we were inside.
We stopped at our daughter
Karen’s house for a short visit. She and Greg were just getting ready to go
meet some friends for dinner. As soon as they learned I had a new cell phone Karen
immediately started loading all of their family phone numbers into it. Then Greg
started showing me some of the features that I didn’t realize were on it. He
showed me how to use them as well. They suddenly realized they were supposed to
meet their friends so we said our Good
Byes.

| At the end of our day. |
As we headed towards Home
there were large water puddles along the roads. Tomorrow most of the Weekend RVers will be leaving to go
home under Warm Sunny Skies. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
