We
were both in bed at a decent time last night which meant we both
slept like a couple of rocks that didn’t wake until 8:00 this
morning. I wasn’t even up Five Minutes when Kathy joined me
so after having our Muffin for breakfast we were enjoying our
morning Coffee/Tea at the Computers just after 8:30.
Looking
outside you could tell it was going to be a nice day. When I double
checked The Weather Network it
showed this would be the best for the next week with most of the
others being very wet. Since we missed our Bike Ride waiting
for a call from the Ministry of
Transportation yesterday we agreed to give it a try this
afternoon.
It
seemed that there were less Blogs to read this morning but
that could be because I read a number of them before going to bed
last night. One of the Comments was wondering what they will
do about renewing their Driver’s License since all the
Service Ontario Offices are
presently closed due to the Coronavirus.
As soon as you call there is a lengthy recorded message saying that
your Driver’s Licence, Health Cards and License
Stickers will remain VALID until sometime after all the
Offices reopen. When I spoke to
both the Ministry Officers yesterday they both reiterated the
same thing.
We
had all our chores done early so Kathy thought we should have an
early lunch. Today we had Vegetable Soup with a Cheese
Stick as a side then to give us extra energy to burn we had the
last of the Brownies with a Yogurt Cup for dessert.
We
finished our Tea while uncovering our Tandem Bicycle
and pumping up the Tires. We donned our Helmets and
were soon heading down the hallway for the Elevators. We had
to wait until the Moving Elevator came because our Bike
is too tall for the Smaller Units.
This
was our first time riding our Tandem Bike since last Fall
at the Wildwood RV Park. Today was also our first time riding
on the Ganatchio Trail. We’d
heard it was quite long but were not sure so we headed east where we
were able to see Lake St. Clair as
we travelled.
This
Trail is used by Joggers, Walkers,
Skateboarders, Rollerbladers and Cyclists. Even
though everyone was practising Social Distancing it sometimes
cause a problem when Walkers spread across the entire path. We
followed the rule “Slower Traffic stay to the Right”
and were passed many times by other Cyclists.
When
we reached Lesperance Road in the
town of Tecumseh we took a brief
moment to have a drink before heading back towards home. Instead of
turning into the parking lot we continued past until we reached
Lauzon Road which we use most of
the time in our Truck or Car. We could see from the
intersection that the Trail continued
much further but we didn’t want to overdo it on our first ride. We
ended up travelling just over Ten Miles but it felt good.
While
I refastened the Bicycle Cover and Bike on the Balcony
Kathy was busy making Macaroni and Cheese for supper. Just as
she was about to serve it my aunt Anna called. Kathy had put my
supper in the Microwave to keep it warm and it worked.
My
aunt lives in a local Retirement Home
which is one step above a Nursing Home. A Month ago
when the Coronavirus became a
Pandemic the Home
stopped letting anyone go out nor anyone go in. In the last Two
Weeks they have confined everyone to their rooms. All their meals
are brought to them but her suite is smaller then a Travel
Trailer. You can’t walk too far in that. My cousins are looking
for another place for her to live.
That's St. Clair Shores Michigan over there. |
After
we finished the Dishes we watched the 6
o’clock Local News
before turning on our Computers again. Our temperature actually hit 70 F (21 C) this afternoon.
One of the Blogs
I was reading was Geeks
on Tour. If there is anything electronic Computers,
Laptops, I-Pads, Tablets, I-Phones or
Cell Phones they know how to use all the features and can
teach you. It was by sitting in on a couple of their Seminars
that I learned how to create our Blog. Since they are so busy
they don’t always post every day so it’s strange that they (Chris
and Jim) has been writing their Blog much longer then we
have and only written around Two Thousand Posts when we have
written over Three Thousand to date. If you don’t follow
them already you might consider checking them out at this Link.

With
wet weather forecasted for the rest of the week we’ll have to find
something to do. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I'm so happy to see your weather changing. Didn't it feel good to get outside and ride your bike? I'm glad things are looking up in your direction!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful bicycle trail in your area. I am looking forward to getting our bikes out soon too.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to finally be having some decent weather. I'm longing to get a bike.
ReplyDeleteFollowed your ride on Google Maps. Looks like a great trail to ride!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice bike ride and how awesome that it is so close to your home! I feel so bad for your aunt, it would be tough to have to stay in such a small area.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are getting warmer temperatures and experiencing nicer weather. Did Kathy peddle this time? Lol, I don't know why I remember that :)
