And the rain came!!

In between the drops of rain we were able to errect a 8 X 10 shed at our campsite. Neighbor Norm, Ben and me inserted hundreds of screws, nuts and bolts into the metal frame.It should withstand hurricane season just fine,now to decorate. Perhaps I can plant a little garden around it- so many choices and then i have to construct something that is draught tolerant, frost tolerant and try not to dig up any electrical or water lines while i am creative.. Stay tuned we will see what Jane does next!

Shake Rattle and Roll

The Rv had a tendency to swing to a different tune, as one maybe sitting in one portion of the rv, a second walking from one end to the other, You had a choice to put your water glass on the table or try to swoon to the muscial rhythm. But no more! With the addition of cinder blocks to the belly of the rv, the added support stabilized the rig. No more run a way RV!! And who knows our humble abode may outlast the owners!

One step closer to Heaven!!

Today we hit the jackpot!
I stumbled across a lady that was wanting to depart from 2 sets of stairs
One that would be perfect for our rv
The railings unbolted, he man strength from a friendly neighbor to get the fittings in the truck.
A little porch and four steps
How snuggly they fit against the RV and appropriately spaced for decent from the RV to the ground. No more swooping down the metal staircase, clutching the handle with a death grip. AHH Luxury!

Ride anyone?

When we are not biking or walking you can find the old folks totting around on our scooters

Mascot!

This is our welcome marker, it is a symbol of the Bytowner Good Samers of which we belong. As a fund raiser the RV group made this look a like mounties. It sets us apart from the other Canadians in the park

T anyone?

Yes I get curbside service, this is my little abode and Ben serves me T, it is a lifesaver as those little mosquitoes loves me they absolutely do!!
The screen room is a fantastic pop up it is based on the same idea of the pop up laundry bags. Simple and useful.

The funniest thing was a couple of years ago a squirrel tried it out and couldn't get out!!

Oranges Oranges everywhere

Introducing Ben's tree, if you did not read about me last year I am being fertilized, clipped, prunned to perfection and watered alternate days and now I have loads of oranges just starting to turn so that Mr. Ben can get his fill in of oranges

Don't look down

These are pics taken from and on the Hill Island Bridge that straddles Ontario and NY state.Situated between Kingston and Watertown. Just think I used to do this towing a 30 foot rv and it is at least 800 foot drop

I lost a day !! Where has it gone

This a.m. we scrubbed, vacuumed, hand washed the RV, boosted and polished scooters, pumped up bike tires and sorted through closets and reorganized our effects. And of course I thought it was still Sunday. We have been here a little over 24 hours and have accomplished a lot, however we have had time pass us by!

No mischief for me..I have been far too busy for any of that
Hopefully tomorrow I can get back on track and off to the races with my activities
however the first thing on my list is to pop up my little screen room and then out for my walk - Yep first thing early in the a.m. or it will be far too hot

And I must remember that tomorrow is TUESDAY!!

Southern Belle's here I come!!!!!!!!!!

Here i am in South Caroline with a pink facade, frekles galore and a rudulph rednose.
we started our day in South Pennsylvania, clouds and sprinkle of rain. About an hour into the drive our dash dimmed the gauges faulted - a sure sign from above.Mother must be speaking!! The clouds parted, the sun came out and the heat wave of 90 degrees swarmed down on us. The mysterious guages rectified themselves and we trudged on.
Stopping at every flying J to refuel the vehicle and hit the chef salad bar at the cash. WE aim to stay fit while on the road!

After a long drive about 9hours we went for a lengthy walk only to find lots of fast food restaurants, Russel Stovers chocolate Store - thank goodness they were on the wrong side of the street. Lucky for us Subway was not far away and we made a wise cheap choice.

Hoping to reach our destination mid day tomorrow - wonder what groceries the neighbors have!!

On the road again

Up and over the Hill Island Bridge, through the foothills of the Pennsylvania Shield, over hill over dale to the southern most exposure of P.A, Nestled in the Travelodge of Chambersburg you will find the Lows on their way to the sun shine state.

Yes here we are waiting for our complimentary hot grub before we risk crossing Hwy 30 to start another day of marathon travel. Where will it lead us??? Stay tuned...............

Argo Retreat!!

And what did you do this week? I bet I can top anything! My neighbor volunteered me to sew a customer cover top for her husbands Argo. We measured, made paper templates, pinned, cut,and finally sewed ( yep double stitched every seam). We had a system I made the patterns, cut the fab, consulted with the neighbors hubby and then it was time to sew. The wife at the sewing machine , me at the distal end pushing and pulling the fabric. AS we neared completion the cover was a might heavy , the hubby helped me guide the fabric as his wife, pressed the throttle and steered her needle. Three days of effort and here we are........

F I N I S H E D

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Here we go just a reminder that soon it will be here to stay.
Yesterday we got some of that wet white stuff and decided it would be a good day to get our distemper ( flu ) shots. It was a blistery day but this am there was no white stuff on the ground . Perhaps it is a tease for us as we get closer to crossing that U.S.A. border.
Proves that I should stay home today and prepare for our southern exposure get away!!

Dental Hygiene?

Here we are lit up for Halloween, candy galore, pennies for Unicef. Well let the party begin!! OH Ben another year of us having to pick up after kids. What Kids? Where? Is our house haunted and we don't know it? 68 bars to go............
