Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Even after getting to bed
at a reasonable time last night one could say that I was very upset when after
rolling over to look at the clock it was noted to be 9:00 in the morning. Not
that we had anything planned for this morning but I’ve been trying to train
myself to be up earlier for when we start traveling. Looking outside only to see
the heavily clouded sky and water puddles from last night’s Rain made me realize that if the Sunlight wasn’t brightening our windows
then we would continue to sleep later.
We kept breakfast lite and
settled in at the Computers with our
Coffee/Tea. After completing our
other inside chores, we discussed what we need to accomplish in the next Three Days.
Still in a Food Cleaning mood Kathy created Ham and Tomato Wraps to go with the Vegetable Beef Soup she was serving. It
was both tasty and filling.

After clearing the dishes
off the Table, we worked together to
make the Ambrosia Fruit Salad that
we would be bringing as our contribution for the Halloween Party’s food table.
When that was complete we
cleaned up the dishes in one full swoop and were again left with a clean
kitchen.
Our choice of Costume this year was quite simple. Since
we are headed to the southwest we dressed in our Blue Jeans with our Denim Jackets
and Cowboy Hats. I also wore my Bandana that I could easily pull over
my lower face but Kathy just didn’t feel comfortable wearing her’s.
It was around 5:30 when we
loaded the Truck and headed for our
son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s house in Amherstburg. We were the first
to arrive so we got to sit and talk while the kids were still upstairs
finishing their makeup. The end result was unbelievable, a stocky Knight and her Drag Queen. The makeup for both was perfect.
Shortly after 6:30 others
started arriving and bit by bit the food table started to fill. We hadn’t eaten
supper yet so we were ready to eat but we only had small samples from some of
the many dishes that were there to be eaten. A little bit here and a little bit
there and before we knew it we had eaten more then at a normal meal.
The Costumes were
imaginative and funny. Some were homemade, some store bought and others were
put together from a combination of past parties. Most were family oriented
while there’s always one that came dressed as more towards an Adult “X” Rated theme.
With the heater running in
the garage everyone was comfortable. If someone went outside for a smoke they
didn’t stay out very long. Conversation flowed freely with subjects ranging
from when people were growing up, what the kids were doing in school to taking
care of rodent problems. There were so many different conversations going on it
was sometimes hard to keep track of them all. It was past 10:00 when we said
our Good Nights and everyone was
wishing us Safe Travels.
The first thing we did when
we got Home was
to turn on the Furnace not only to
warm up the inside of the trailer but the Basement
and Waste Tanks as well. The
temperature will be hitting the Freezing
Mark tonight but with the cool breeze it will feel about 7 F (5 C) cooler. We
should be safe to turn the Furnace off
overnight without anything freezing. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
