A Great Day, Beginning to End

Can Am RV, London, On

On Friday, Oct. 18^th we woke up after a fairly restful sleep in the Reflection. We were tired enough that the queen instead of king bed didn’t seem to hamper our slumber. 😊 It was frosty again outside, at least on parts of the grassy turf. We washed and drove to Tim Horton’s down the road for a coffee, tea and breakfast sandwich. I had a rewards card that easily covered the meal.

Good morning!

We returned home to eat it with Gibbs. At 8:45, we noticed someone in the shop window and Bill said he was putting tools away and our wheel was back on. That was a good sign so when we got the thumbs up that the Suite was done, it made our day! What a good start to our Friday.  

He made a friend in the lounge.
Gary was going to get in trouble when he got
home to his Golden Retriever, Dallas. 

I folded the bedding and we gathered our things together. I took Gibbs inside with my tea and Bill transferred our stuff to the Suite.

Even though he barked a lot at
people, people loved him.
One couple gave him a full bag of
Greenies. 💗

Timmy's came through for us
and filled us for an early brekky.

Since we are staying another night here, we had to wait until someone pulled out from one of the ‘elite’ (plug-in) spots out front. When one opened up, Bill moved us into place and we joined him in our home. It was around 10 so we relaxed until 11:45 when we left Gibbs in charge once more (poor little fellow) and drove to an old haunt, Southside Grill, for lunch with Brenda and Randy. I had a delicious meat lovers Skillet and Bill had a clubhouse. All great food, for a good price too!

We were all surprised when this
prototype robot brought our food to the table.
The waitress followed to set it out.
I think he was being 'fired' tomorrow. 

Good friends
Good food
Great visit

We didn’t expect it but Randy paid for our meal which was very kind of him. ♥ From there, we drove back across the construction-infested city to visit with our dear, long-time friends, Jim and Sharon. I sure didn’t need it but Sharon had put out some nuts, chocolates and lemon squares for our dessert. Of course, my eyes said Yes! 😊 Yummy. We left there just before 4 and drove back across the city to Costco and to fuel up.

My Skillet lunch was sooo good!
Sharon's little treats topped it off. Yummy!

It was another large donation at Costco but we stocked up on things we can’t get in the southwest or at least not in the same allotments. 

The traffic (rush hour AGAIN!) was terrible, 
making us grateful for Durham's one traffic light.

It was 5:30 when we got back to our home and our little boy. He is so good, never has an accident when left alone. He was happy to see us though after almost 6 hours. Neither of us were hungry for supper so I had Madame IP cook hard boiled eggs and mixed half into egg salad.

After Costco, traffic was fine.

I made our sandwiches for tomorrow’s lunch and my supper was a banana cut up with cream. It helps to finish off my last 3 bananas too. I was feeling tired after a long couple of days so finished my blog and sat with Gibbs for the remainder of the evening. It has been fun seeing our friends and we’re grateful our home was fixed in due time. We reached a lovely 18C/64F today with mostly clear skies. Just perfect!

Tonight, we were in line for a pretty sunset.

Good night!

Thank you for checking in with us!
