Last Show Day, Ice Cream! Beauty of a Day, Home to Clemson

Sunday, Oct. 14^th, when I woke up at 7:10 Bill was awake and reading. That shows you how soundly I sleep. The light was on, unnoticed by me. I hopped in the shower and after Bill had his, we headed down for breakfast around 8. We truly appreciate that Canam looks after us, our meals and snacks while working these shows. We are volunteers and this motel stay along with those things help to make it worth our while to give up a weekend.

See Patooties front row, 4th from the left?

and to the left of the above picture was this blue sky

It goes without saying that we also very much enjoy the ‘job’ itself. Meeting new people everyday and sharing our story. Love it! Pizza lunch came in later today because it was a later start, 11 am, and we’d all eaten a big brekky first. 

Original! Cute!

It was around 4 pm when Bill and I decided to treat ourselves to an ice cream cone. I walked by it many times on the way to the loo and we have never indulged. Today was the day and it was expensive but worth it.

Get ready for a few rv's I took pictures of on my morning walk-around. 

Want bright?

This morning, while the staff were having an informative meeting about the new Helio trailers, I walked around the show. Not everything was open but I did it for the steps and exercise mostly. I peeked in a few Class A and C motor coaches, fifth wheels and even small travel trailers. 

I liked this Montana with a raised bedroom AND a raised living room

and a pretty decent price too

I enjoy seeing the way things are set up. Seeing a couple of truck campers, which Bill and I bought as one of our first rv’s, blew me away with the upgrades. Granted the price was an upgrade too.

Truck camper, love the new step system

The bed area is so much roomier than ours was

Want little?

Want red?

Or do you want big and expensive?

They've got them all

The day ended at 5 and we turned lights off and gathered the Mobile Suite decorations at the door so the girls could pack them up. We had checked out of the Hilton Garden Inn in the morning so hopped on the highway home. 

We got our ice cream!
Thanks Katie for the picture. :)

The aisles are long and the rv's plentiful

It was a beautiful calm day from beginning to end with a gorgeous sky and 45F/7C at 8 am. On our drive home, we were warm at 15C so no complaints whatsoever. We drove right to Durham to pick Clemson up and was happy to hear that he was a good little boy for them. Relief.

We'll be flying  next year around this time by Air Transat

These Go-trains are neat

I love it when the planes go right overhead
never get tired of them

Home by 8 pm, we unloaded, emptied suitcases and turned the propane heater on to warm the Suite. Sitting watching Magnum P.I., Clemson promptly got in position against me and fell asleep until bedtime at 10. 

Clemson is home with Mom and Daddy

Sun dogs last night made for a pretty sight

We do miss our little guy but the break is also nice once in a while. We met so many wonderful people this weekend and were surprised this morning to receive an email from one couple whom we connected with. Thank you Wayne and Barbara!

I apologize for the 4 daily posts right in a row but it was a necessary evil this time. I prefer doing that rather than putting it all in once post. You would be sleeping by the last day! I’m certainly glad to get my internet connection back up and running.

good night from The Ridge!

Thank you for reading and your patience but most of all to the concerned readers who texted, messaged me or commented regarding my absence. We are well and doing fine!
