It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Not Spring Weather, Making Plans and Arrival


Our Location today is at Wildwood Golf and RV Park, McGregor, Ontario.

Having left the Blue Flame Heater on the lowest heat setting all night it was still cool enough this morning that I immediately put my Housecoat on to stop myself from shaking uncontrollably. Going downstairs and approaching the Heater I was surprised to see that the Burner was lit even at that low of a setting in an attempt to keep the room moderately warm. As soon as I checked The Weather Network it was understandable. The outside temperature was 39 F (4 C) feeling like 32 F (0 C).

With the Sun shining brightly by the time Kathy joined me downstairs it was no surprise to see the temperature on the rise. Looking outside while we had breakfast we watched residents walking around the Park wearing Toques, Gloves and Coats in order to keep warm. Reading other Fulltime RV Blogs from others nearby it was not a shock to see we are all experiencing the same kind of weather. It made me smile to see the temperature in Quartzsite was 90 F (32 C) at 7:00 Arizona Time.

Our daughter Karen called wanting to make a date to celebrate Kathy’s Birthday next week. Rather then having them travel half way across the city Kathy opted to meet them at the Michigan Diner on Manning Road after Karen gets home from work.

By 11:00 our Charge Controller and Battery Capacity Meter were both showing our Batteries as fully charged. After doing our normal inside chores I needed to do a quick check of which Medications and Vitamins will be needed for when I do the Pill Doucettes in another Ten Days.
Kathy was busy going through the latest batch of Mail we collected just the other day so I started putting lunch together. It was simple enough just warming some Chicken Tenders in the Microwave and mixing up a Kale Salad.

After cleaning up the Dishes we worked together to wrap a Special Gift that I’m certain would be well appreciated at this time. Looking outside the sky was completely filled with Clouds. Rechecking the forecast it had completely changed since this morning. The outside temperature was at its high of 52 F (11 C) for the day but we can expect up to an Inch of Mixed Precipitation overnight. That took away any ambition we might have had of working outside.
We looked at a number of things On-Line until we had a lite supper after 6:30. Kathy made some Pasta Shells with Cheese and we topped that off with a Fruit Cup for dessert.

The Rain started coming down quite steady by 7:00 so we decided to watch the movie “Arrival” starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker. We’re not into SiFis but this one was moderate and gave us lots to think about.

Finally back on the Computer with a Coffee/Tea to warm us up I noticed the temperature in Quartzsite was only 97 F (36 C). Like here no happy medium. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  2. Snow here so you fared better than us with your 52F. We didn't go above 40F. At least the wind died around supper time, no more 39 mph winds we hope!

  4. I am sorry you are experiencing such cold temperatures and like you mention there does not seem to be a happy medium in Canada or the United States.

    Had to admit I had no idea what a Toques was so had to Google it.
