Day 3 and Home

The Ridge

On Sunday, Aug. 24th we were awake at 6 and up around 6:30. Duncan is an early riser so was already up and in the Kitchen Bunky. 



Good morning!

We had breakfast and our tea and coffee with him and then Patty joined us around 8. Bedtime is early there, so I was surprised that I slept in even that long. Of course, I never sleep the same in other beds. 

Duncan had told us that we would
get awakened by the sunrise through
our windows if we weren't up yet.
Even though we'd been up,
I had to get a picture anyway.

I caught the beautiful rising of the sun across the river, just gorgeous to watch. We were packed and in the boat, (he needs to name it!) by 9:15. The 40 minute journey across the water was cool for Patty and I, sitting on the bow, but it was quite bareable.


Their sleep Bunky is no bigger than ours 
but it has a nice porch for sitting and looking
at the river with a coffee. 💗

We said our goodbye, used the facilities at the marina and headed back at 10:15. We'd given Gibbs his Gravol pill at 7 and after getting off the boat, which he doesn't mind at all, he was totally quiet on Ptooties.🥰

We packed up our things in the
Nipissing Room

My heart is full with these
special boys.
Sitting in the Kitchen after breakfast.

I don't know how I missed this pix
from yesterday's post.
Duncan and Bill cleaned up the
supper dishes for us without even
a hint from us!

We stopped for a filling and delicious (& expensive) take out fish and chips lunch at 11:30 and then after a stop for fuel, arrived home at 3 pm. We had a wonderful weekend!

Some pictures of our drive home.

This was a good meal
The fries especially!


The traffic was quite busy on the
main roads. We avoided Wasaga Beach
this time, not sure why our gps took us
that way on the way out.

We were unloaded and unpacked by 3:30 and both rested for the remainder of the day. Friends and family were notified of our safe retirement and a few zzzzz's dropped by.  😂😴

Pulling into our lane
around 3 pm.

This little guy didn't eat since Thursday
night but cleaned up his food dish when
we got home. Funny puppies.
Good night!

No need for a big supper so may just have dessert. 

Thank you for stopping by!

  2. Wonderful ~ everything! :) Thanks for taking all the pics! I grew up on a lake so the sunrise was the BEST! Thanks for letting us ride along with you!

  3. That sounds like my kind of place. I'd be staying there every day I could. Mr. Gibbs was a good boy, but maybe a little too nervous to eat. That was a great trip!

    1. If you can live off grid for a length of time, absolutely! I would want more 'power' and a tv or at least music. 🤭

  4. Your friends have a nice setup at their camp. Separate areas for sleeping and eating is a great idea.
    Glad Gibbs is back on his feed.

    1. I totally agree about the separate rooms. They are equipped for anything and water sports as well! Thank you, I'm happy the little guy is eating now.
