We
were up shortly before 8:00 this morning to the same kind of
temperatures as yesterday 41 F (5 C) feeling like 34
F (1 C) but with lower Wind speeds it seemed to
feel more comfortable. Breakfast was a Muffin along with our
Coffee/Tea and the only thing we checked on the Computers
was The Weather Network.
After
doing our morning chores we were out the door shortly after 9:00
headed for Windsor. We actually
wrote a list of stops that we needed to make today in the order they
needed to be made so that we wouldn’t miss anything or waste too
much time.
With
a quarter tank of Gasoline in the Escape it really
wasn’t necessary but we stopped at the Pioneer
gas station on Walker Road and
topped it up. When I went in to settle the bill I saved another
$14.00 off the pump price by using the Accumulated
Points.
Our
next stop was Guardian Storage
where we collected our Mail.
We
then headed over to the Motor City Community
Credit Union to get some change so that we’ll be able to
do our laundry.
We
accomplished all that a little quicker then we expected and had
planned on having lunch before our afternoon appointment. Since it
was still early we decided to have another breakfast. Instead of the
typical Fast-Food we went to A&W
on Tecumseh Road. We each had a
Bacon, Eggs, Toast and Home Fries served
on real Plates with real Silverware with our Coffees
served in real Cups. We took our time and totally enjoyed
our meal.
It
was still too early for our appointment so we went to walk around the
nearby Walmart. We went looking
for certain items they did not have but found a few things we had
planned on getting at a later date.
With
it being Noon we drove to the Home
Hardware Building Center on Lesperance
Road in Tecumseh. We
have searched lots of retail outlets unsuccessfully for a certain
Wood Treatment that Kathy has been using inside our Home
so this was the last place in our area to look.
Last
Fall before we headed south we had noticed Construction
going on at this location. That Construction continued
throughout this past Winter. Even though it is not finished
yet when we walked in today the store is now half the size of a Home
Depot. Guess they realized that if you are going to
compete with the Big Box Stores you have to go big. One thing
they have always carried that Home Depot
doesn’t carry is Small Appliances and Cookware.
We
didn’t find exactly what Kathy was looking for but we found a good
alternative.
We
drove across the road to Hearing Life
and sat in the Car for a bit. Kathy had to take the
Antibiotics that we picked up yesterday as a precautionary
measure for her Dentist Appointment later today. We were early
for our appointment so we had the chance to chat with a 90 Year
Old woman who thought that it was time to try a
hearing aid.
When
Brandy had Kathy come in I suddenly remembered leaving a Form
we needed in the Car. By the time I returned with it Brandy
was already explaining to Kathy the Care and Operation
of her Hearing Aides. Kathy had suffered damage to her Right
Eardrum as a child that has made it difficult for her to properly
hear conversations. Since they are totally covered by our Health
Care Provider it makes it much easier for her to get them.
We
left Hearing Life in Tecumseh
at 2:00 and arrived Home in
McGregor by 2:25. We both needed
to brush and floss our teeth before heading to River
Town Dental in Amherstburg
for our 3:00 appointments. We both had our Teeth cleaned and
we discussed other things that need to be done. We both have another
appointment made in June.
It
was just after 4:00 when we left and decided since we’d had our
Brunch at 10:30 it was time to have supper. McDonald’s
was packed as they were having their yearly McHappy Day which
helps to fund the Ronald McDonald House
where Parents can stay at no charge when their
Children have to be hospitalized away from their hometowns.
Since
we couldn’t get in the parking lot we went to Soup
and Salad for supper. We each enjoyed a bowl of their
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and a Soft Drink plus we
shared a Greek Chicken Salad Wrap. We cannot eat one of those
Wraps by ourselves because they are that Big.
The best part was that the Price including the Tip it
was far less then we would have spent at McDonald’s.
It
was only after 4:30 so we decided to stop at Canadian
Tire. We wanted to walk around for a bit. Since there were
a lot of people in line at the Service Desk I waited until
everyone had been taken care of before approaching. Kathy continued
walking not knowing that I wasn’t behind her. If you recall we had
purchased a replacement Canvas Cover for our Gazebo
that did not fit. Somehow we misplaced the Receipt so I
inquired if there was still a way to return it. Since I had used our
Credit Union Debit Card to
pay it was all in the Computer we were able to get a full
refund back to our account without the Receipt.
It
was only 5:00 so we went to Dollarama
to do some more walking. With their Low Prices and Good
Quality Merchandise we walked out with a few more things.
We
then drove over to our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s
around 5:30 for our weekly visit. We always have a wonderful visit
but with all the running around we did today we headed for
Home shortly after 7:00.
The
Wind
had increased this afternoon but tonight it is once again battering
our Trailer.
After making Fourteen
Stops
today we’ll have no problem sleeping tonight and we are busy again
tomorrow. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Talk about us being busy, that was a crazy day for you two! But you sure got some things done! Congrats to her on the hearing aids, nothing is covered on our insurance and even Medicare doesn't cover from I could tell. Nice benefit for you! Love that A and W has real dishes and cutlery..I haven't been in one in years, so don't know if in the US it's like that. Enjoy your day you two!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a Dollartree in your area? We just recently discovered this store and it is the best dollar store I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteYou two have certainly busy getting things done. Now that Kathy can hear better you will have to be careful about what you say..lol Take care.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you all got so much done I got tired just reading all you accomplished on this day.
