As you know we have spent the past month in Port Dalhousie at the home of our niece Stephanie and husband Michael
After spending 30 days in Ontario we are 'cleared' to get on the road once again
Penticton here we come!!
View of Lake Ontario from the living room
I think I can count the numbers of times on one hand as to how many times we have seen the sun
Looking across the lake to the skyline of Toronto
Meet Stephanie's cat
By the end of our stay she and Bing were friends!
We made a few trips to Sarnia
While there we checked out our storage unit
OH NO
Mouse droppings!!!!
This container was at the very back of the storage unit
I am sure 'it' was not happy being out in the cold
Sorry guys......
We have no choice
We returned a week later........
Happy to say no more mice
Not even in the traps
This photo is out of focus
You can see the dog though
Straddling the sofa
Soaking up the sun
Came across this as we were heading to a gas station in
off the main highway
Took this shot for our South Dakota friends
Coleen and Curt
Came across many antelope
A few were closer to the road
They did not like us being so close
Here are hundreds and hundreds of birds
We think they might be swans mixed in with Canada geese
Way in the distance is Devils Tower
Wyoming
We are alone on the highway
Not sure why this ol' car was sitting on a trailer at an intersection????
We are into some heavy snow
The horses are all facing the same way
Great place to get a hair cut!
I'm sure I have taken this photo before
Find it strange one beside the other
One morning Gwennie joined us in the front seat
Grand Coulee Dam
Washington State
The Sun Bowl
Home of the Osoyoos Coyotes Hockey Team
We drove by just after arriving in Canada
Were back at the rink that evening for Beau's hockey game
Unfortunately Beau did not play that evening and the last game of the season due to a concussion
March 22nd
We arrived in Penticton Friday in time to sing
Happy Birthday
The view Saturday morning
Off to Kelowna for Ethan's hockey game Saturday
Spring League
Kelowna All Stars
Number 81
The Osoyoos Coyotes had their final game Sunday evening in Armstrong
Boys went full seven games
They had won their division then went on to the semi-final playoffs
The lads had long hair and 'yellow' hair for the playoffs
This is the new hair cut
Pretty spiffy!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for thinking of us as you drove thru the state. Let us know when you come back through and maybe we can meet up or you can come see us. It is said when hockey season comes to an end, at any age. How exciting for L & G to have the wine in boxes and shipped. Woot Woot!
ReplyDeleteDevil's Tower, Grand Coolee Dam, the wide open expanse of western fields....amazing photos. I almost felt like I was right there. I can certainly identify with your comment about where have the years gone ! I must say Beau matured nicely. Gwennie as navigator, priceless. I'm glad you were given the all clear and were able to travel. I wish you all a blessed Easter season.
ReplyDeleteHi:
ReplyDeleteSo delighted to know you are out of the cold and in BC. Hope you had a good drive out. Your grandsons are handsome!!!! So interesting about the winery. Think of you often. Happy Easter. See you in Chatham.
Love to you both
P & C
Great to have another O'Rourke post to read. I love traveling with you, Joe, and your four-legged friends. Thanks for the memories ... seeing so many places we've been. Loved seeing the action at Ruby Blues and a finished Tightrope product. Eager to taste the labor of their love! We opened a bottle of Ruby Blues last night that we purchased while there last summer. It was as delicious as we remembered. What a handsome family ... enjoy your time there and look forward to more of your postings. Great to see Joe behind the wheel and ready to go again! Take care my friend ... love your photos and commentaries.
