The Visiting Continues


It's hard to believe that we've been home for a couple of weeks already. The time has just flown by; and we've had more hugs in these past two weeks then we've had all year long. And I can tell you that there's nothing like hugs from family.

Last Friday, we spent the afternoon visiting Mike's sister Marlene. Molly's litter mate, Sadie, lives right across the street from Marlene, and the two "girls" were quite happy to see each other again. Both are a little slower, but they still acted like puppies. Molly is also continuing to improve. Thanks again Gary for suggesting the shark cartilage - it has worked wonders.

Last Sunday we drove to Corunna to see some friends of ours perform. The Satiniques are a singing group that mostly sing hits from the 50's and 60's. We met up with the group a few years ago; and became their unofficial "groupies" back in Punta Gorda, Florida. While we were waiting for the show to begin, Mike's cousin Ray and his wife Linda sat down right behind us. It had been 7 years since we had seen Ray and Linda; and it was nice to be able to catch up. The show was also terrific; good job Rick, Donna, Joe and Anne! A great time was had by all.

This past Tuesday we moved to our new "home" for the summer. We are currently set up at Trout Haven Park in Strathroy. We spent most of the day setting up; cleaning; organizing and doing laundry; and by that evening, we were pooped! We had done very little "living" in our rig over the past few weeks; and the inside needed some TLC. The beauty of living in a small space though is that it doesn't take too long to clean or tidy up.

Wednesday was our first day of doing nothing since arriving, and it felt wonderful to do just that... a whole bunch of nothing. We did have some wood delivered though; and Wednesday night we sat out by the campfire for quite some time.

We went to Grand Bend to visit Mike's sister Lyn on Thursday; off to the dentist on Friday morning; more visiting in the afternoon with niece Natalie and then yesterday back to London for a birthday party for another niece - Happy Birthday Jen! Today, is a relaxing day.

I've been writing our blog for just over a year now. And have been pleasantly surprised at how many are reading it. I always put on the bottom of the email update that if you want to be removed from the list or are having troubles with the link to let me know; and I'm happy to tell you that nobody wants off the list or are having troubles... yay! Keep on sending those positive comments and emails.

Oh yeah, Mike and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on Monday! Enjoyed a nice lunch with my folks, then a nice dinner with friends Sally and John. Topped off with a bubble bath and a back wash from my hubby; what a wonderful day!

And by the way, the camera was tucked away quite nicely in our entertainment centre and not lost at all (what a relief!). As a result of this, there are just a few pictures to post.
