Sept. 15, 2006 - Wow, the middle of September already.  Where has the summer went.  In a few days it will be the first day of fall.  The nights are cooler and the days are shorter.  

We went to Chatham yesterday and I had my second visit to our new Medical team.  All went well.  My blood work and all the other test had come back okay.  That is good, because we don't want anything to hold us up on going south.  We might be having a slight detour on our trip south.  My sister is having major surgery on Sept. 27th and it is possible that we will be leaving our coach home and traveling by car to Baltimore to see her.  I hope that she is well on her way to recovery by then.

I have six more days to work this year.  I am looking forward to my 7 day a week freedom.  I think that I am finally getting the hang of all this time off, with a little work in-between.

Sept. 13, 2006 -  It has been a few busy days since my last post.  We aren't going to be able to get out to Saskatchewan to our Uncle's funeral.  He is being cremated and will be returned to the little village where he was born - Highgate, Ontario for internment.  

You might notice that I have removed all of the google search boxes and ads.   I want to be able to give my web address to anyone that I want to, without considering if I am giving it to a Family member or Friend and worrying if they might click on a google ad.    I have replaced google with non-click through ads.  There are a lot of great companies and also a lot of Free'N'Fun stuff for you to enjoy.  I might add click throws at a later date, we will see.

We have received some really sad news. Doug's Uncle Alfred Joseph Burch past on to the promised land Sept. 7, 2006 in Regina, Saskatchewan. It was only a year ago that we were returning from Lumsden, Saskatchewan, where he lived, after attending his 80th birthday party. You can read that story at our blogs for Aug. 16-30, 2005 and Sept. 1-15, 2005.

the last photo from left to right is Doug, his sister Marg, Alice friend of Uncle Joe and Uncle Joe-taken Aug. 2005 in Lumsden SaskUncle Jo or as numerous people called him "Bud" flew in the Canadian Air Force for years. His first post for basic training was at the Toronto Exhibition grounds. He gained his wings and loved to fly. After the Air Force he had numerous other flying jobs including flying the plane used for aerial surveying of Northern Ontario. He flew commercial planes in the United States for awhile and also flew in the far north. He shared many of his stories with us which were always daring, dangerous, interesting and humorous.

Uncle Joe was the youngest child of Joseph James Burch and Alice Clark of Highgate, Ontario. He was a very talented man. He loved to sing and was an accomplished piano player. He leaves behind his daughter Louise and her husband Phillip, and two sons John and Roy and numerous grandchildren.

We will miss you Uncle Jo. 1925-2006

Beautiful day in the Neighborhood

Things are starting to come together. I called Staples this morning and the repair parts for my computer wasn't in yet. About an hour later I received a call from Scott at Staples to bring my computer in. I have it back and it looks like a new one. No more broken case. Thanks Staples you did deliver.

After we got the computer back we drove to Leisure Trailer Sales in Tecumseh, Ontario. We had checked with all the local RV places in Sarnia and a couple in London, but they didn't have the product in stock. Some didn't even know what we were talking about. We were looking for an Extend a Stay. It allows you to hook up a portable propane tank to the horizontal tank in our class A motorhome. We are getting low in propane and do not want to take down my satellite dish and take the covers off of our tires, etc., to be able to take the coach into Corunna to get the propane tank filled. So the next best thing is get the Extend a Stay kit and a portable propane tank- the same as regular bar-b-ques use. We will be able to use it next summer also.

Hundreds of little birds are starting to flock together, here at the park. They are getting ready for their long flight to warmer climates. We won't be to long behind them. 8)

My sister is having her operation Sept. 27th. We hope that all goes well and that they are able to make her well again.

Jody is coming to replace the hydraulic leveller tomorrow. I hope that it isn't to difficult for him. Doug has a doctor's appointment in Chatham, so I am all the help Jo will get until Doug returns.

The sun is setting in a blaze of glory and I can hear the snap of our neighbors campfire. I can't see it because of a big 5'ver between us, but I sure can hear it. It is time to go and enjoy their company.

Until next time - enjoy life to the fullest!!

the drivers side.

       Live each day to the fullest
