2 Hours

We are feeling this...... 

Jan 17/2016. Weather in Windsor, Ontario 19F Brrrr mild snowfall.   2 hours later in Sanford, Florida 65F sunny.   Isn't it amazing what can change in just a 2 hour flight.   We are loving this flight route by National Airlines.  Today only 64 people on the 180 seat flight.   Gosh we sure hope it fills up on the rest of the winter flights so National will continue this service.  It is so convenient for us to have family and friends drop us off.    No border crossing to Detroit makes a big difference.  When we landed in Florida we cleared US Customs easily.   Great travel day.

Three Months in One Place ???

Summer  2015

Billy??    Don't you need your co-pilot???

When we left Erieau I followed Billy and our Rig with the car we leave at my mum's.    It felt so strange to not be in the co-pilots seat.

Golf holes as you come into the RV park.  Nice view.

This summer we actually stayed in one spot for three months.  In the spring we had to get away from the lake and the fish flies so we moved inland to McGregor near Windsor, Ontario to Wildwood RV and Golf Resort. The park is well kept - paved streets, gravel with cement patio sites, back ins or pull thrus, rec center, 2 pools, many activities, golf course around the whole park, laundry & bath house, restaurant and plenty of super people.    This park is run like the many RV parks that Snowbirds flock to in the south.   There is a large contingency of campers here that winter in the south for 6 months and come back here for the balance of the year.  Good park to walk around and stop to talk and share camping stories.

It's been fun to explore new to us ..... roads and stores and restaurants.  It's only an hour west from where we grew up but neither of us had spent any time in this area.   We carry a back roads atlas of Ontario map book every time we leave the campground!!!  Yes,  I know it seems silly but we have gotten lost a few times.

Quilting Fool

As some of you know I have found a new hobby and want to learn enough to be capable of making some projects this winter.... Machine Quilts.   My old sewing machine was good to me for forty years; but I just couldn't resist a new Baby Lock.    Wow it's like going from the Dinasour age to the Space age.   This machine is awesome, just wish I knew how to use it!!!  Seriously I am reading all 4 manuals slowly and doing a small project, a table runner to learn.  I am taking a 7 week quilting class at Quilting Confections. The ladies are super nice and so helpful and our teacher Heather made us feel at ease while teaching us all the tricks to making a beautiful quilt. Then when we are down south I can feel comfortable stitching away.  "Oh and yes all our kids and grand kids and friends and family will be getting quilts from here on....  Ha ha!"
