After crawling into bed around 11:30
pm on Saturday night, we both slept well, not just me. We woke up around 7:30
on Sunday, Oct. 15th. Not such a rush this morning as I took my time
finishing my post for yesterday. Bill got his shower first and then I hopped
in. It has been ‘forever!’ since I’ve used such a large area for bathing and
Bill said ‘You can let the water run, just enjoy the continuous spray’. Funny,
what you get used to when conserving water.

Almost devoured it before snapping a photo
So good! |
We dressed for the day, it was
another warm one with the high to be 19C. October? Breakfast downstairs was
delicious. I ordered an omelette with ham, cheese, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes
and spinach – hoorah. I also ordered bacon and home fries and had tea and apple
juice. That was some meal and sure to sustain me until lunch. We were on our
way to the Congress Centre just after 10.

A new day

Bill and I wanted to walk through
some of the other rv’s just for fun before the show started at 11. It is interesting
to see that a motor home that matches the caliber of quality as the DRV Suites
is in the $500,000 range. Glad we’re not looking to buy one. It would be out of
the question.

This would be our end dream
Not the end end, but when we stopped travelling
Instead of a house or apartment |
 |
| The dreams don't end, just the timing |
Today the show was quieter, a
different group. For the most part, a younger group who are years away from
taking any steps towards purchasing an rv.
Interest, sure, but kind of ‘tire kickers’. It was still a good day, we
had fun and in the last 30 minutes we met Mim and Stuart from Thornhill. Too
bad they didn’t arrive sooner, we hit it off great and had lots to talk about.
Stuart said Bill had answers to questions he hadn’t even asked yet! We
exchanged info and hopefully will hear from them.

If you keep walking down the hall past the kitchen
it jigs to the right and you're down another hall to the bathroom
and bedroom |
Others that we met over the weekend
were Rocky & Sally, John & Debbie, Bob & Adele, Charly & Denis,
Rick & Val, Deb & Jeff, Gary & Valorie, Hans & Vassa and Linda
& Perry. If any of you have followed through and read my blog, drop a
comment. It was a pleasure talking to you at the show!

| It's like sitting in a Ford Fairlane or a 57 Chevy! |

Right down to the beautiful tires
Hey! I can see myself! |
There were sub sandwiches for lunch,
lots of snacks and water to keep us all satisfied and hydrated. The sales over
the weekend were great with most of the sales reps making at least one customer
happy. From what we think we remember, there were approximately 10 rv’s sold.
Great job!

| Snacks to keep us going |

| The boss's office |
It was after 5 when Bill and I said
goodbye to the staff. The drive home was a bit of everything and the
temperature dropped from 19C in Toronto to 13C in Caledon and 7C home on the
Ridge.

| The Can Am Stance - I think I find myself adapting it at times too! |
The rain was intermittent but it sure was cold and windy when we stepped
out of the car. Rob and Pat were out to dinner at their daughter’s and offered
to bring Clemson to us when we arrived home. It was within 5 minutes that they
drove up the lane.
 |
| Just before the doors opened |
 |
| Looking from one end of Can Am's display |
Clemson was on Pat’s lap in their car and took a
minute before deciding it was okay to come out into our arms. I think his
temporary Mom and Dad looked after him quite well. They said he was a good boy
and they enjoyed very much having him ‘take over their house’. He had to do
some sorting out too, after being away from home for 3 days, sleeping in
another bed and making sure the bags were being Unpacked this time.

| The only Mobile Suite at the show |
It was 7:20 I think when we arrived
home and we were settling down for the night within 30 minutes. It didn’t take
long to empty the suitcases. This was a good weekend and now we are home.
Looking at our winter trip pictures on Bill’s laptop today brought reality home
for me. I am ready to pull out and head back to that wonderful state of Arizona
again. It was nice to remember that they weren’t ‘vacation’ pictures, but our
life.

After watching people eat ice cream all weekend, I had to get my own today
Yum! |
Warning! picture download of our drive home.

I've been waiting for one to fly over while I was outside
I listened to them go overhead all day |
 |
| Crazy! I love it. |
 |
| Lots of different cloud formations on the way home |

| Home Sweet Home |
I hope you’ve had a good day too. Thank
you for stopping by and I’d love to hear from you.
