Mini Me ????

July 5 - 11/2019  Weather.... picture a big warm sun!  It's hot.  We've been parked at the farm on the back driveway and time is flying by.   When we are at the Farm we are busy everyday and this summer my quilty friend Bon and I are taking long arm lessons to finish the stitching on the quilts.  It has been so much fun!

When we are here we visit my Mom most days in Chatham at the residence.  She is 93 today!!!
Now going back and forth to Kitchener/Waterloo this summer has been wonderful for us to spend so much quality time with Aiden, 9 months old and growing like a bad weed.  This week we are back in The Landings Campground again.  This time Aiden's going to get in the "big swimming pool with Daddy" at the campground and we will have him stay with us one afternoon at the park too!  All new fun stuff for our little grandson.

Our son has such a beautiful family... picnic at our campground

As we drive into the campground (again) we are definitely being treated like "regulars"!   Everyone is so friendly welcoming us back.  This time we only towed the trailer and skipped bringing the Jeep since the weather is summertime - dry and hot.  We are just driving around on the motorcycle this week.
Oh and when we get back to the farm we have a new addition to our part time "Puddy Kat".  Yes there is a "mini-me puddy kat" now at our door step every morning too!!!!

Hunting for a Tombstone

June 14 to 21/2019  Weather  is low 70's and cool nights at 50's.  It's not quite tshirt and shorts weather yet.  We are off to Kitchener/Waterloo again to see our grandson.  How lucky we are to take our home with us.  Everyday we will see little Aiden.  Once again we are staying at The Landings in Petersburg.  It is only 8 kilometers from their house.  So everyday we get to play, play, play.

After our fun week we headed 40 miles across to Mitchell area.  Friends of ours have a park model in Woodlands Lake RV Resort.  Its quite a big seasonal park and they do have a row of pull thrus that are way at the back of the park.   Takes about half an hour to come in and wind your way to the sites but they sure were quiet !!!!!   Oh and lots of trees.  And mosquitos!!!!  

the campsites are situated around small Woodland Lake

Our site was long and level and we had two nice big evergreens that we parked between.   Billy walked around our rig a couple of times and said..... we can't open.  What?  Oh jeez.    Oh well, it's only for two nights and we were there to visit our friends not sit in the coach anyways.   Don and Annie called us on the cell phone to find out our whereabouts... and we said "funny thing is we are in the Trinity Cemetery in Mitchell".  Don says "you are where?"
So the story is that Billy has been chasing his family tree down and found that he had a great grama and great great grama in Mitchell.  It was important to him to find the stone and we did find it!!!! Which was super exhilarating.   The stone had his great great grandparents, with their two daughters (great grama and great aunt).  

Billy's great grama, great aunt, great great grandparents

We recorded all the information and took some pictures, next time we come up this way we want to look for the home that they lived in for 75 years.    Finding the grave was so emotional as it unlocked some family information that Billy was hoping to find. 

Family Time

May 27/2019  Weather 72 and sunny today.  Beautiful day.

Our site at The Landings

Having our coach just a few miles away from our grandson has been perfect.  Everyday we get to go play with him and then be able to leave our son's family to some peace and quiet without Nana and Papa underfoot.  We have had the best week with our little grandson.  He is such a "peach".  Wow your heart bursts with love when they laugh and smile at you.  

Our little Aiden is such a cutie pie

This morning the Canada Geese were out swiming around the lake in the campground.  They were having family time too!!!

Take our Home with Us

May 21/2019  Weather = Ugh!  that is ugh for ugly.  The worst spring we have ever come home to.  Oh well.  Mother Nature will do whatever she wishes.  Our health is good and our family is good so we will live with the cold wet spring.  Today was sunny (59 high and low of 45) and we headed out to Kitchener, Ontario to see our little grandson who is now 8 months old!  He is awesome:)  This summer we will spend a week every month visiting him.  It sure is handy when you can take your own little home with you. 
We are staying in an RV Park called The Landings.  It has 3 big pull thrus.  Not like cruising around the States where you can find a suitable Big Rig park every 100 miles.    You need to do some reconnaissance before pulling into a campground in Ontario.  Check and double check that you will fit into these parks and sites.
