We were both up within minutes after 8:00 this morning having slept like a couple of rocks through the night. Unlike this morning Nineteen Years ago we woke up apart and Kathy was about to have a whirlwind of activity that would fill her morning. I had a calmer time just getting cleaned, dressed and on my way. Later in the early afternoon we committed ourselves to one another when we said “I Do”. We had both made those same promises to others in the past but the reality of life ended that in heartbreak as they were laid to rest. Along the road to recovery it was like powers outside of our realm brought us together. It only seems like the other day and we are hoping for many more.

The sky was clear but the Humidex was already in the mid 80s. After breakfast and that first cup of Coffee at the Computers I was headed to the Shower. If I’d showered last night I would have tossed and turned rather then slept.

As I came out of the washroom I could hear Kathy speaking on the phone and just by the way she was talking I knew that she was speaking to our dear friend Vera. By the time I returned to my Computer the call had ended but Kathy passed along Vera’s wish of a Happy Anniversary.

My sister Anna had also sent us a Happy Anniversary Wish On-Line. Thank You Anna.

Within minutes we were on our way out the door. The clock on the dash read 11:50 as we made our way onto the street. With the location of where we live there are Two ways to get to our Optometrist’s Office. One would have been to take the scenic route along Riverside Drive. Since there was only a Half Hour to get to our appointment I chose the Expressway.

Since we haven’t been rushing around Windsor lately it wasn’t until we got on E.C. Rowe that we found out it was being resurfaced. For the first mile it took Ten Minutes and I wanted Kathy to call saying we would be late. As soon as we passed the Central Overpass it was “Full Speed Ahead”. We walked in wearing our Masks with minutes to spare.

The Local Health Unit last week has made wearing a Mask mandatory in all Offices, Businesses and Stores within its jurisdiction. Anyone caught not complying with said order is subject to a hefty Fine and or Incarceration.

We both passed our examinations with flying colours. Since I have been dealing with David for Thirty One Years and he knows we like to travel he was giving us more information about the Virus and some of the Miracle Cures that are being touted. His advice is to let the Medical Professionals do their jobs and ignore what the Politicians are saying.

It was past 1:00 and we were feeling hungry so we stopped at Wendy’s for our Anniversary Lunch of Chicken Wraps, Small Chocolate Frosties and Seniors Sodas. We enjoyed our meal in the parking lot while watching a long line of others wanting something to eat.

From there we headed over to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail before heading on.

We just turned on to Jefferson Avenue when the Train Guards came down. For the next Ten Minutes we saw a number of different styles of Graffiti pass by. Some were actually quite nice showing the talent of the Artists. Others showed they had been interrupted and the task was left unfinished. Kathy suggested they should allow them to paint those otherwise bland looking Railcars which would probably stop a lot of other vandalism.

Noticing our Gas Gauge going down and Fuel Prices going up we had no choice but to stop at the Pioneer gas station and topped up the Car with Gasoline.

This one had sense of Humor.

One of the big problems since the start of the Coronavirus Shutdown is that the Restaurants and Fastfood establishments have only served Takeout Food and shut their doors to everything else. Since we weren’t near our Trailer we had to head back to the Apartment for a Pit Stop that we both took advantage of. It also gave us the chance to gather some things to bring with us.

Some of those things caused us to stop at the Shoppers Drug Mart we purchased our Vitamins at on Thursday. Anyone that uses Iron Supplements knows what happens if the concentration is too high. Explaining my plight to the Head Pharmacist he gladly made the exchange to the lower concentration for me. With all the extra Seals on the Containers it was quite evident that they had not been tampered with.

Our next stop was Home Depot where I had a few things to return. One of those was the Miracle Grow that we got on Saturday for the Plants. I hadn’t seen the Fine Print on the container that said “For Roses Only”. Kathy’s flowers would have stopped blooming rather quickly. Once that was refunded I found the proper plant food and was out in minutes.

We stopped at Dollarama where we again purchased some groceries at a lower cost then at the grocery store.

We finally made it to Zehr’s grocery store where we managed to get everything else on our List. When we walked in there was no one waiting outside. By the time we planned to pay for our purchases there were at least Fifty People ahead of us in line to the Cashiers. It took less then Twenty Minutes and were were loading our groceries in the Car.

Back at the Apartment we used a large Shopping Cart to get everything upstairs. Then it took Twenty Minutes to get it all put away. Supper was a Medium Thin Crust Store Bought Pizza that took Fifteen Minutes in the oven to cook perfectly.

The 6 o’clock Local News talked about the Virus Numbers starting to go down in our area before talking about the HOT Temperatures we can expect for the next week.

Kathy and I would like to wish our Canadian Followers a Happy Canada Day tomorrow. Like everything else this will truly be different this year. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
