LAST DAY AT CANYON VISTAS THEN HEADING TO CANADA

As you know from the last blog we are going home to Canada

The past week has been very busy

I woke up early early 

My mind was working overtime with things that had to be done

A beautiful view of the desert at 6:30

Mardi Gras at the park!

Sue and Donna Mae stayed with us for a week then they headed to Scottsdale to visit with Peggy and Tony

Friends of Donna Mae

Since we were heading home early we

 decided to rent our unit for the month of March

HA

I called Sue to see if she would come back to the park and help me get the unit ready

 Sue was my right hand lady 

We nicknamed her

THE CLEANING LADY

Sue was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She borrowed one of Joe's ol' hiking shirts and went to town

She is taking a break with her best friends!!!!

The truck is packed

Everyone has their own spot

We headed out Thursday morning

Since Jennifer and I are proud owners of Beetles

I thought this was a good photo to capture

This gentleman was sitting in a booth at MacDonald's in Show Low

As I was sitting waiting for Joe I thought

What a great photo that would be

Could I get up enough nerve to ask if I could take his picture?

YUP

I said

Excuse me sir but would you mind if I took your photo?

He looked at me like I had rocks in my head but said

OK

How clever to open an umbrella to shade the sun while he worked on his computer

When we travelled this road some years ago I would always shed a tear knowing I would not see my Arizona family for some time

This was no exception

The windmill was spinning in the wind

These building were all side by side

Must have been a very tiny village way back when

Pee break

A Texas dog in Oklahoma

The earth and water are the same colour

Missouri River

Good Morning Sun

We should have updated our GPS

Three times we ended up somewhere where we did not want to be

Downtown St. Louis

The GPS was re-calculating

Through the neighbourhoods we went

This must have been a home at one time?????

It  was situated on a corner

Cement surrounded it

Coming into Detroit

Joe's favourite singer

Ah..............

Over the bridge we go to Windsor Ontario

Back to Canada

Driving along the 401 just outside Chatham

Back 20 years ago Susie was found near the 401

We rescued her from the Humane Society

Here she was once again travelling the same road!

We were very fortunate to have good weather throughout our four day trip

Ha Ha

Made from Canada!!

We have arrived at our destination

at

Stephanie and Michael's home

at

Port Dalhousie situated on Lake Ontario

Way way over there you can see the CN tower downtown Toronto

Canada geese venturing on the lawn

Gwendolyn making a snow angel

Grandma Stephanie and grandson making a snow angel

So..................we are settling in
