Fun on the hills
Fun at the basketball game and hockey game
Then.................
It was time for another road adventure................
Ha......Story time
Hunter is even in on the act
Ethan is taking Home Ec at school
He made potatoes skins for us
They were soooooooooo good!!!!
Fun times on the hill behind the house
We brought the air stream home late Monday afternoon
Tuesday packing day
Pruning
Off to Ethan's basketball game
Tuesday afternoon
Graham helping out with the team
Next on the list for Tuesday was a hockey game
Boys against girls
So long until September
Always tough to say good-bye
Pulls on the heart strings
On a happy thought though
We will see them in July at the cottage
Some friendly ducks having bread crusts for breakfast
I bet I take this photo each time we head for Osoyoos
Oh hum..........
Such is life
The cat's bed sits in between Joe and I
We're into Washington State
Crossing over the Columbia River
We're on the pass
Road closed the night before due to fog
Now there's a cowboy!
We found a camping world so we could buy an extension mirror
I took this photo for my friend Marge
It reminds me of her husband Rod
He is tall
Wears jeans
and
Has a big hat!!!!
Good Morning world
Early morning sky overlooking mountains of Utah
See the little homestead?
Can you imagine living there????
Heading towards Cheyenne Wyoming
Oh no.......
The furnace went off in the middle of the night
We QUICKLY dressed in the morning
Bundled the dog and cats in bed with the down duvet
and
Headed to Denny's which was attached to the Flying J where we had spent the night
By the time we had had our breakfast and got back to the trailer the pet's water dish was starting to freeze over
Joe checked the propane tanks
Not the problem
Fortunately we found a RV shop that was open
The circuit switch for the furnace had broken
We had a new one installed then headed to the grocery store to load up on food since we knew we would be bunkered down for a day or two in Cheyenne
I attempted to take a picture outside our door
My camera lens was fogged over
This was a pretty sight outside the trailer!
Man oh man was it cold!!!!!!!
A happy site for us to pull into
Ha.....we were in business once again
Cats were smart to sleep right in front of the heat vents
Our first meal in the air stream
And
Hot tea steeped in our teapot
I had taken a photo of the teapot at the shack
It is from our set of dishes when first married
'She' has been around for a long time!!!!!!!!
We found an RV park that was open
Ah.........we had our first shower since leaving British Columbia
What a luxury
Sunday morning we checked the weather forecast
Checked the cameras along I 80
and
Decided to start out
We had a good day traveling 7 - 1/2 hours
A shorter day than normal but were happy to be on the road again
So much tumbleweed along the fences
As you can see from the photos it was a cloudy day
It was soooo nice to see a beautiful sunset at the end of the day
Ah.....Gwendolyn
When I looked in the mirror there she was!
I am telling you
She is the best traveling dog ever
Nice ol' barn
Our last night on the road
Stopped at a Flying J in Illinois
We were surrounded by the sounds of diesel engines running throughout the night
Oh boy
What a sight
When we saw the Michigan sign we knew we were almost home
You have to look closely but there is a baby deer in behind the bush
It was all by itself
Goodness
Just about in Canada
There she is
The St. Clair River
Down about 10 miles is Stag Island sitting in the middle of the river
We'll be there in about 6 weeks if we're lucky
We arrived at Our Ponderosa campground late Tuesday afternoon
We do not have running water in the air stream
however
We are right by the washrooms and shower
There is too much snow to find the water line
We are booked here until April 15th
We are at Kettle Point
There she is.....
Miss Gypsy
We drove to Sarnia on Wednesday to do some errands
Checked out the island in Corunna
We have been told that there are a number of eagles in the area
Will have to check them out
We were inquiring about the cats at the campground
Apparently there are around 20 cats
Hmmmmmm
Hopefully they are getting enough to eat?????
**********************
Must say we are happy and relieved to be here
We are in the money..............
Have a cozy place
Have one channel on the TV
Have laundry facilities
and
Have each other!
I always look forward to your blog, your pictures are stunning and your stories are great . Enjoy the camping
ReplyDeleteNikki
wonderful images of home! you are making me miss Ontario as I read your blog here in AZ!
ReplyDeleteBrr …. seems like all your photos have that white stuff in them .. hard to imagine being here in sunny Arizona where temperatures are mostly around 80 degrees. Enjoyed the tall, lean cowboy photo reminding you of Rod. Stay warm ~ Mss Gypsy looks rather lonely at the campground. Looking forward to more photos and stories of your adventures.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of your family (Graham, Lindsey and your grandsons). I know they will be missing you and Joe. Miss Gypsy looks very cozy but the snow looks awfully cold. :(
