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.

Exercising The Truck, Family Visit and Science Making Inroads.


Our Location today is at Windsor, Ontario.

We both managed to be up around 8:00 this morning. I had no problem getting a full night’s sleep but Kathy had a hard time falling to sleep. Before we finished having breakfast Kathy was asking me to turn the Air Conditioner on even though the Thermometer on the far wall was only reading 72 F (22 C). Knowing it would be warming slightly later I turned it on for her comfort.
Lunch was Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwiches garnished with sliced Pickles. Kathy made the dessert plates finishing the Cherries and Pastries we had in stock. She added Yogurt Cups and Tea to round everything off.
Add being tired with a satisfied tummy and Kathy had to tip her recliner back to have a Snap. I worked a short while on my Computer. After she woke up I set up my Exercise Bench and managed to get a good workout in before heading to the Shower.

It was after 5:00 when we headed out the door. Today we were taking the Truck to give it some Exercise since it has not moved in Weeks. Those that own vehicles with Diesels know that’s not a wise thing to do. Fortunately whenever I fuel the Truck I add Diesel Kleane an additive which helps eliminate Moisture and Mold in the Fuel.
Our first stop was the nearby Wendy’s Drive-Thru for our supper. We both had Chicken Wraps, Small Chocolate Frosties and Seniors Soft Drinks and the entire meal only cost $7.41. You can’t go wrong with prices like that. We simply sat in their parking lot watching Traffic drive by as we ate our meal.
With this Virus going round we have missed visiting with our Kids and our Grandchildren as well. With it being nearly a month since we last saw our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa along with grandsons Cameron and Matthew we made an appointment to visit with them this evening. It was close to 6:00 when we arrived at their house in Amherstburg. The Truck appreciated the run as it went through its Regen stage which helps clean the Diesel Particulate Filter.
We visited on their back Screened-in Deck where there was a pleasant breeze keeping us comfortable. The biggest complaint we all had during this Lock-down was our Inactivity. Melissa is still working from home using the Laundry Room as her office. Even though it has its advantages if she continues working like this she’ll have to find a better room to use. Our grandson Matthew has been De-tasselling Corn for the last Three Weeks and since he is getting up around 4:30 in the morning he was in bed by 7:00. Being exposed to the hot Sun every day is taking its toll on him but he’s hanging in there. Before we knew it Two Hours had passed and it was time to head for home.
It was past 9:30 by the time we arrived to our Apartment. That gave us a short amount of time to get caught up on our Blog reading before the 11 o’clock Local News came on. They actually talked about things other then the Coronavirus like fixing localized Flooding problems and Scientist making inroads at fixing Autism.

Tomorrow could turn into a very wet day plus I’ve got things to do. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  1. That's my problem too ... all this inactivity makes my brain slower. Time to hit the treadmill I guess!!

  3. Your meal pictures always make me hungry. I do not think I have ever eaten a grill cheese and bacon sandwich before but it sounds heavenly.

    I am glad you got to visit with your daugher and her family.

    I wish inactivity was one of my problems but there is so much work in keeping up with this old house and so much yard work to do :-(

  4. Nice that you were all able to have good visit. Quite the job that Matthew has. He must be exhausted by the end of his shift.
