We have been away for a few days visiting some relatives. It's always great to get to Peterborough and have a visit with John and Lou, I have missed being able to visit with them over the last few years, even though we are in the same country it always seems hard to get the time to go, we are much closer now so no excuses. Then we went to Balsam lake to visit another cousin, what a fabulous place they have on the lake, I can only imagine the sun sets from their deck, I think I will make a better effort to get up for visits next year.
We then headed on to Bowmanville to have a visit with my eldest nephew. I wish for him a kidney, his coloring is off and his feet are swollen, he is on dialysis for 12 hours a day, he is 45 years old, doesn't seem fair, he has at least another 2 year wait, and he isn't the only one needing kidney's, his daughter will, his brother will, its a hereditary condition from his mother's side of the family. I think each time I see them that it is precious time well spend, we have no idea what tomorrow brings.
We arrived home to a burnt out plug on our trailer, so that had to be fixed straight away, we purchased a couple of extra ones for the park owner in case some one else has a problem.
We are getting ready to head to Vegas in a couple of weeks, looking so forward to getting together with some Aussie friends down there.
I had my grand daughters here last weekend and we had such terrible weather here it was so cold, rainy and down right miserable, so we did lots of crafts and did some sight seeing locally. I was a bit sad to take them home as this is their last time for the season. I will miss them until next summer.

We have had some pretty strange weather, and the grand kids are coming and its calling for rain for 4 days, grrrr, I guess I better get some more things in for them to paint.
We have sold our home in Australia for a record amount for our area, now we need to think about where we want to live, I have an idea where I want to go but hubby thinks we need to live on his daughters door step, that is not happening. My nerves couldn't take it. I'd rather be 3 hours further up the coast, a good hospital is near by as well as an airport.
We had some company this past week, friends from Australia, she is doing a teaching exchange in Ottawa.
We went to Kingston and the 1000 Islands, I was in awe of the changes to Boldt Castle, I hadn't been there in 10 years or more, I had tears in my eyes seeing the grandeur of the parts that were finished.
It is well worth the trip if you haven't been in a few years.
Hubby is away at Nascar this week and I will be busy with the grandkids.
Our beloved Grand Dog died over a week ago, we didn't even know he was sick, I am glad it was sudden and he didn't have to suffer
Rest In Peace little Buddy

I can't believe another month has slipped by us, the last week has been so cool and rainy, the grand kids were here and complained several times that it was raining to much. Oh well we played lots of games, they both beat me at scrabble more than once. lol We have lots of fun no matter what we are doing.
Our home in Australia has gone on the market and has sold for a record high number, we expect it to settle in 6 weeks and then purchase a house up the coast closer to friends where we will be on the ocean and not to far from family.
Life here at the trailer is pretty good, we are enjoying things here and our neighbors are very nice to us, I ask them when I am going to town and they do the same, works out all around. I know if I need to borrow something I can go there.
Charlie is enjoying the fishing and kayaking, he has no loss of people to fish with, he will be back on the I need a boat band wagon again as one of our neighbors just got a new pontoon boat, just what he wanted, I have been trying to put him off till next year, we will see what happens.
I was out for a nice walk today, my ankle is doing much better, it still gets sore at times and the dampness isn't helping.
We have our first dinner quests tomorrow, I cleaned all morning, now my back is playing up, I'll try to get out for a walk and see if that helps.
