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.

Rain, Government Reports, More Rain and Fun Visit.


Our Location today is at Windsor, Ontario.

Having seen the weather forecast before going to bed last night and since we were in no hurry to go anywhere early the moment our heads hit the pillows we were asleep. When I woke it looked like it was the middle of the night but the Clock showed otherwise.
By the time I opened the Balcony Blinds Kathy was already getting out of bed but it was still dim enough I had to turn the lights on to make breakfast. Looking out it was a wall of Rain blocking the sunlight. We managed to get our morning chores done early but ended up spending most of the day at the Computers.

One of the reports from the Federal Canadian Government that Kathy was reading indicated that the International Border between Canada and the United States could remain closed to all Nonessential Travel to as late as 2023. The reason they claim is due to the handling of the Coronavirus and its rising Cases because many are not taking this seriously. By having people Stay at Home the numbers started to drop but as soon as businesses opened like nothing happened the Cases spiked. By wearing Masks and Social Distancing the numbers again started to drop but people claim its against their constitutional rights and refused to wear them. This Virus holds no political affiliation and discriminates against no one. We wear Masks not only to protect ourselves but others around us. If they are not wearing Masks it shows they are only thinking about themselves.
For lunch Kathy made Baked Beans on Toast with Lemon Squares for dessert.
This afternoon the Rain would stop for a few minutes before starting again then repeating the cycle.
We were in the process of getting things ready for supper at 6:00 when our daughter Karen called to invite us over for a visit around 7:00 so we said we’d see her then. We ended up eating our Spare Ribs before the Acorn Squash was finished cooking. Let’s just say they were both served hot.
The Rain had finally stopped when we left the building and the temperature had also dropped but looking all around us we wondered what was about to happen next. The Clouds that were approaching were more threatening then they had been all day but we managed to make it to Karen’s house in Tecumseh without getting wet.
Karen and Kylla were busy cleaning up the kitchen from their supper and Greg was on his way to help a friend work on his lawnmower. For the first few minutes we visited mainly with Sanford who was showing us his newest Toy. We stayed inside but still managed to Social Distance sitting at opposite ends of the dining table. It was nearly 9:00 when we were getting ready to leave but Karen didn’t let us walk away empty handed. She sent us off with fresh from her garden Tomatoes, Zucchini, Peppers, Rhubarb and freshly baked loaf of Strawberry/Rhubarb/Walnut Bread. Thanks Karen!
Once we were back in the Apartment we opened the Balcony Door and Bedroom Window not just to freshen the air but to cool it down. With a low of 59 F (15 C) tonight we are looking forward to sleeping like this.
The forecast for our area is for more Rain for the next Two Days. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  1. Well ... I guess you'll be staying in your apartment for awhile! Sadly, the people not taking it seriously are the BLM and Atifa groups that continue to have protests everywhere with huge crowds and no masks. 14 days later, there's another big outbreak. I expect this to continue for awhile until they all get sick, then maybe it will slow down. Who knows.

  2. I have to agree with Nancy and you can't believe everything you hear from media or even your government! Sanford is just too adorable. Certainly would make me smile to visit with Sanford!

  3. Nice that you got some fresh produce to take home. Any chance of Kathy finding that article regarding the border potential being closed to 2023. I would love to read that article. It would help put a few things into perspective.
