Test Drive

A busy day getting last minute things ready and packed into the RV before our "trip".  A well deserved mini holiday long past due.

We had the RV out for a wee test drive this afternoon over to the garage we go to in Sauble Beach, then back home.

Bandit most certainly enjoys being a co-pilot.  I am pretty sure I have everything we need and organized.  If I have forgotten something it will not be the end of the World.

Our house sitter is all ready to come stay with Lexus, Portia and the pups.  I am very grateful to have someone to come stay at the house for the whole time we are gone.  As I said before Bandit will be going with my brother, and Buddy will be coming with us.

Another humid day we had with just a bit of rain which never cooled anything down.  Lots of bumper to bumper traffic past our house heading home after the Labour Day Wknd.  School for some, and work for others tomorrow.

For me now? hopefully a good night's sleep despite the humidity, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Home Again

I returned back home from my son's about 4 this afternoon.  I was tired as sleep still does not come easy for me despite all my efforts.

I had left yesterday at 4 pm to go down there.  The reason of my visit was to get my VW Passat serviced with new brake discs all around.  My son's childhood friend, Blake, worked for Crosby VW as a mechanic, in Kitchener, so he looked after me today getting the work done at a considerable less amount then taking to a dealer.  Trust me I was and am very appreciative.

Back home I was busy getting things done, and feeling like a tired chicken with her head cut off.

Rob and I took Buddy over to Owen Sound to the Doggie Wash.  Check out the photo of that by *clicking* HERE.  There is also new photos of Portia's "tubby" puppy.

Tomorrow I have another busy day ahead of me, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Too busy to blog ... Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Just Now

We just now got home from a long long day ....

The fridge in our RV went kaput, at the most inopportune time of course.  I called everywhere last night, Sears, Best Buy, Home Depot, etc..., to find the cheapest 24" wide  fridge would be $649.00 plus taxes, plus delivery.  YIKES ! there was no way I was wanting that to happen.

My friend, Vicki, checked for Scratch & Dent places on Kijiji.  I found two when I went on the Owen Sound site.  This morning I called both; the one in Owen Sound had nothing, however the one in Durham just had one come in yesterday afternoon.  What were the odds of that happening???? and he had never had one in that size before.

The best part of the whole story is the grand total was $187.50 !!!!

I also might add when crossing the street on the walk light on my way to the bank in Durham, a van whipped around  the corner missing me by a foot after he finally noticed me.  Yes my Angels were with me today, as most days I am certain.

After getting the fridge we headed down to Kitchener as Rob had ordered spare tire for the RV as well, and they had came in.  That was at 5 pm we got there, then went to Costco for much needed dog food.

Yes it has been a long day .....

When I was out with my friend, Lynn, the other night I was gifted a Cactus.

It is HUGE ! and I really really LOVE it.  The flowers are amazing.  I hope I don't kill it and it continues to do well.  It didn't even blink when I moved it home, and immediately began blooming; lucky me.

On that note I am going to soon call it a night, Just North of Wiarton and South of the Checkerboard.

Time Out

I was lucky if I got three hours sleep last night.  Finally at 3 am I got up and started cleaning.  It has been a long busy day with a dent in a couple of things.

I need a "time out", and hope I get it at bedtime this evening, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Getting It Ready

This morning was no joy when I got up with a Migraine.  I had been to bed early, sound asleep when my Son called me, then again when Rob called me, then once more time when Rob came in .....sleep was well past me at that point.  Dribs and drabs are better then none I suppose.

It was a busy day both Rob and I as we have been preparing the RV and getting it ready for a road trip soon.  A much needed one for both of us I might add.

We have friend coming to house sit and look after the Moms and pups, Bandit will go to my brothers, and Buddy will be coming along with us.

Rob had to dig out stuff stored in the basement from our other trailer.  I was cleaning and sorting most of the day long.

Yesterday Rob had removed the bucket chair so we had room to put in a crate for Buddy.  It worked out real well where we put it.

It sure is a lot of work to go somewhere before you get going.  I suppose once it has been set up the way we want it, much can be left in there for the next time around, but or perishables and bedding.

Late this afternoon I went for a pedicure ... a treat from a Gift Certificate I had.  I enjoyed it immensely.

Dinner? BBQ'd sausage and green/yellow beans.  Very yummy.

This evening I did more laundry and more cleaning in the RV.  I am sweating buckets, so much for the shower I had this afternoon !

I have actually begin reading a book again, after a very long time of not doing so, once being an addicted reader.  I am presently reading Still Alice.  I would love to also see the movie as I do so love Meryl Streep.

Nothing more to write this day, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
