I managed
to get up and start reading on the Computer
before the outside door closed this morning at 8:30. Seeing that Kathy was
still sleeping and having nothing really planned I didn’t try to wake her. The next
sound that I heard was a Gasp when
she looked at the clock. She would later tell me she had looked at me a couple
times at the Computer and figure she
was safe so she would just close her eyes again until she saw the clock.
We had
wanted to check into some of the research that we had done yesterday so we didn’t
wait too long to head out. Unfortunately, if you are going to talk business
with someone your stomach shouldn’t be making noises louder then you are speaking.
We stopped at the Dairy Queen for a lite lunch since it was way past
breakfast. We opted for their $6.00
Chicken Wrap Combo which included a Drink,
Fries and a small Sundae. All that combined left us
satisfied but not stuffed.
When
we went to the Business that we had
researched yesterday the receptionist listened carefully but could not confirm
what we were talking about. Checking with her Manager she came back telling us this was some sort of Scam and that it was being reported to
the Company Fraud Department as we
spoke. Don’t believe everything you read On-line
I had
left my Cell Phone back at Karen’s
so after retrieving it we continued on to Guardian
Storage.
After picking up our Mail we went to
the Storage Unit that contained
things from the Trailer. I was there
to get our Compressor so Greg could
use it this weekend. When we rolled up the door we could see one stack of Small Boxes that was on Medium Boxes was starting to lean. We
spent a few extra minutes but now we know we won’t come back to a disaster.
We had
a couple of hours before picking Tyler up so we headed over to JYSK on Howard Avenue by the Devonshire Mall. Last fall before we headed
south they had the type of Gazebos we
wanted for our site “On Sale” but we didn’t have the time to install
it. When we looked today their selection was far from the same so Kathy suggested
we go elsewhere.
We
went to Canadian Tire and looked at the different ones on
display. They were far from the reduced prices of last fall but they weren’t
full price either. We made our selection and planned to go back for it later
this evening with the Truck but we’ll
do it in the morning and deliver it out to our site at Wildwood Golf and RV Park before picking up Tyler.
With
still some time on our hands we walked around Bulk Barn where Kathy was in search of Fruit Cake. They have always carried it
year-round and we both enjoy having a piece now and again. Would you believe
they are now only going to carry it for Christmas.
We only
had a short wait for Tyler at his Co-op School Shop. While he took his shower I off
loaded the Compressor. We also changed
to lighter jackets because the outside temperature hit 45 F (7 C) this
afternoon. That’s a first since our return. Traffic was really backed up on all
the streets but we got him to his After
School Part-Time Job with minutes to spare.
We
worked together making a Salad and Fried Potatoes to go with the Seasoned Porkchops that we shared with
Karen and Greg. It was an enjoyable visit with just adults.
We were
busy at our Computers around 8:01
this evening when there was a loud noise that slightly shook the house and
lasted for about Twenty Seconds.
Karen was the first to ask “What was that?”
It only took minutes for Reports to
start showing up On-Line that a 3.6 Magnitude Earthquake had just
happed about 5 Miles from Amherstburg at a depth of 3 Miles.
Our area does not experience that many tremors let alone Earthquakes since Weather
Records have been recorded. No Damage
was reported.
We’ll
be busy tomorrow getting things done that we didn’t do today. Thanks for following along, feel free to
leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

I thought all the earthquakes were in California. Glad all is okay!! Those scammers make me mad. Sometimes they can make it look so real we can't tell the difference.
ReplyDeleteWe've had the odd minor tremor around here, and it usually feels like a big truck had just rumbled by. The only time we ever experienced anything more than that was when we lived in Puerto Rico. Things started swaying just a bit, and I thought maybe I was having some sort of "episode", as in a dizzy spell. I don't get dizzy spells, but figured there could always be a first time. Turns out it was an earthquake. Very surreal experience.
