FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA TO ONTARIO

Here it is June 17th, 2015

We have travelled 3750 km 

since my last blog

Ethan's braces are on

I think maybe for a couple of years?????

I am sure by now Garen's 'new' teeth will be starting to come in

A swim in the pool before leaving for Ontario

Not sure what the conversation is about?????

My little swimming buddy

Night before we left Gwennie had a bath

The shack is surrounded by fine, fine dirt

She rolled and had afternoon naps in the dirt

To say the least

She was forever dirty

We are on our way

Heading towards Calgary

where we had dinner with niece Patricia and nephew Matthew Brister

Ha.................

Can you see  my co-pilot?????

I talked to her a lot during the trip

Kept telling her how beautiful she was

She smiled ha ha

We stayed at a great RV park in Saskatchewan

Joe had to do a few repairs to a vent on top of the air stream

Perfect way to end a day of driving

Near Marquette MI

We came across a crowd of people by the side of the road

so..............

Pulled over and joined in the picture taking!

Quick shot out the window

Name of a town in Minnesota or Wisconsin or MI???????

Same name of the city where Joe and I were born and raised

Chatham, Ontario

 

Just up the street I came across this neat little trailer

FUN

Driving over the Mackinaw Bridge

We had a good trip

As you can see I drove my car home

Stella did a fine job

and

I must say

It was fun

I listened to my music and

Joe listened to talk shows

Perfect!

Well not really

but

It worked out well

Five and a half days after leaving Penticton we were on the Stag Island ferry making our way across the St. Clair River

I looked over at Finnigan and saw a look of horror on his face

First time rider then he had to take another ride on the golf cart!

We discovered a robin's nest at the back door

The door was then locked

Every day I would check the nest

Momma  was not too sure of us

She kept a keen eye

I see you Gwennie!!!!!!

Sunset over the river

Nice to see the sun

Since coming home we have had rain every weekend and sometimes during the week

The grass loves the rain

The flowers think they have had enough

Actually as I type this we are having rain!

First there was one baby bird

Then I saw two babies

Then three babies

I was told Momma lays one egg then a few days later another and another

That way she has lots of food for each one!

The day the babies left the nest was a lucky day for them as we were away and the cats were indoors which was a good thing

Our friend Devonna's two sisters

They sure look like sisters!!!!!

Last weekend we attended the graduation of Devonna's granddaughter Paeton

Here she is with her brother

It was a great party

The first bloom of my Iris plant

Beautiful swan passing by the dock

Finnigan taking a walk on the dock

He reminds us of Tulip

He has visited our next door neighbours Ray and Diana

Walked right in their cottage

Just like Tulip!!!!!

No way was Gwennie giving up her stick!!!!!!!!!!

Peony bush bloomed today

Slowly but surely the cottage is taking shape

Working on the gardens

Garen's friends are out and about

It is good to be on the island

LIFE IS GOOD
