We arrived back up north safe and sound
and to pretty cold weather (for us).
Spent some time in Milton, Ontario which is near where our daughter
lives. Had various doctor appointments
and visits to catch up on. Several nice
visits with our family, great to see them all, missed the grandkids. I think they missed us a bit too!!! We
celebrated every holiday we missed with them while we were gone so their house
had decortions for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Valentines, St.
Paddy’s, and of course April fools day (LOL SAM).
From there we went up north near Lindsay Ontario
which is near Lake Simcoe area where we used to boat and spent several
enjoyable months up there. The weather
was very hot and it was great. We met up
with several of our boating friends and had some great sleep overs and
boating. We were there until end of
September and then went to Niagara Falls, Ontario for month of October, wanted
a change of scenery.
We did the site seeing thing again around
Niagara, the falls are still amazing, took a tour around the area by bus. They have a bus line running from North of
Lundy’s Lane downtown to various areas so you can buy a pass and stop where you
want. Limited time at this time of year
but still a really great way to see stuff without having to park. Downtown parking was $20.00 and passes were
just a little more. Since you know that Ken
always wants two spots, we were better off with the bus!!

We did some visiting with my cousin
Christine and husband Dan while here which was really great to catch up as well
as having Thanksgiving dinner with them and a couple of their friends – greatly
appreciated Cuz!
As we were getting ready to leave at end of October, we had quite a bit of rain in NIagara area and ended up with a mini flood on our site. The rain came up around 4"- 5" up the front legs. We had to clean up the catch basins and dig a little trench to get out.

We left end of October back to Milton as
we had planned to leave for south on December 10, 2012.
So much for that great idea! It started
getting cold, Ken had to put on long
pants so we changed our mind. We brought
Christmas with the Kids forward to November 18, 2012, finished visits and Dr.
appointment and got ready to leave. That Saturday, we went visiting friends in Pefferlaw and had snow - saw this on wayt and then said for sure, we are outta here!!!
We left Milton at 5:45 am Novebmer 26,th arrived in Berea, Ky around 5:30 pm on Monday,
drizzly but not too cold, stayed overnight then headed out to Perry, Ga 9:00 am
Tuesday, ran into some pretty heaving fog around Jellico but that did clear up
and we arrived around 4:30 pm., and set up.
The temperature here is supposed to be in
the low 70’s for this week so we are staying for this week. Ken’s brother will be arriving here for a
couple of days as well and they will then be off to Texas, while we will start
heading to Florida. The sun is out and
warm and Ken has changed back to shorts again (did not take him long).
We are booked into Shady Acres RV park just south of Fort Myers on 41 Tamiami trail for December 15, until April 1st with option to stay longer, so we are taking our time to get down there.
So will be posting again for a while and
look forward to hearing from you and having you read the blog – will post
pictures as I get them going.
