Having
had a couple of night’s that I barely slept combined with whatever
we did yesterday was the winning combination for a solid night’s
sleep. It was so solid that the Sun had already cleared out
most of the Clouds for the day. With a late start we kept
breakfast lite before heading to the Computers.

Checking
The Weather Network that is
forecasting the next couple of nights below the Freezing Mark.
Next was to check The Windsor Star where
our dear friend Bill was listed. Even though we both verbally told
Vera how sorry we were to hear about Bill’s passing Kathy left an
On-line Condolence before calling Janette
Florist in Windsor to
have Flowers sent on our behalf. There were a number of Blogs
to read but we still managed to move on to our indoor chores at our
normal time.
Looks like a grumpy face more then a wrap. |
After
cleaning up I was back on chopping detail because of the Arthritis
in Kathy’s Hands. Again I chopped Vegetables and Meat
while Kathy was busy putting together a Banana Cream Pie.
Kathy wanted to do more but wasn’t feeling up to par so we headed
back to the Computers.
During
my career I suffered a number of Back Injuries because someone
else was trying to be helpful or not paying attention to what they
were doing. (They couldn’t see the guy making the bright light.)
I can’t sit on a stool without some form of Back Support for
very long. When I take care of Kathy’s feet when we are away having
to use a Full-Sized Chair is awkward.
I
had searched for Small Chairs unsuccessfully around the
Vendors and Stores since we left Ontario.
Today I located a Child Sized Folding Chair that will work
perfectly, even hold my weight and will store nicely. Kathy and I
discussed a few other things about the Wind Generator and a 12
Volt Water Heating Element all part of making it easier for us to
be Off the Grid. When using a Wind Generator it needs a
place to dump Excess Power so we’ll make use of it by
heating our water. It will mean less if any Propane will be
used to heat our water and the Water Heater will no longer be
connected to the Power Pole in our Park.
Since this equipment is not sold On-Line at
reasonable prices in Canada it
was ordered today and everything should be in next week.
For
a late supper we enjoyed Pepper Steak on a bed of Rice
with a sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese topped off with a slice of
Banana Cream Pie. It all
tasted great and there is more for another meal.
Anyone
that reads the blog Inthe Direction of Our Dreams
knows
that David
has
been battling a Blood Cancer called Multiple Myeloma for a number of years. Today Sherry
announce
that David had
passed. She is in a state of Shock
at this point and writing that it is the end for the Blog.
Like other RV
Bloggers
she needs our support through these trying times.
Even
though there were only a few Clouds
in the Sky
with a lite breeze it felt cool outside and for the next couple of
nights we’ll be staying under our heavy Bed-Cover.
At least it’s not as bad as back in Windsor
and
we’ll be out and about tomorrow.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

David passed of multiple myeloma not melanoma. It was a blood cancer. Such a difficult time for family.
ReplyDeleteOh so sad about David. :( He always had the best smile. Nice pic of Bill..hope Vera does ok, she seems like such a nice woman bet Kathy would like to be there to give her hugs. It was definitely an indoor day yesterday for sure. Sounds like you still got a lot done.
ReplyDeleteSad we seem to be losing so many.
ReplyDeleteDidn't think I'd be saying it so soon. Sorry for you loss again. We didn't know these folks.
ReplyDeleteSupper looks good.
That is truly sad news from Sherry. Thanks for passing that along Rick.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
Kathy's wraps always look so well put together. She must use a bit of oil in the pan to get that golden look.
Very sad news about David, LIke Ken an Shirley said he always had that great smile on his face.
ReplyDeleteDid you say cold weather, it was 23 here this morning and so cold all day.
