Home again

Had an interesting trip to Pelee Island. First we went across on Thursday which was a windy day .......the day the Tornado(s) hit different parts of Ontario. Our run at 11:30 was an extra put on as the 10:30 run was full and what they did was put us on the old "Pelee Islander" a very small car ferry which made for a wild ride over in the wavy conditions. Being new to this trip I had thought the trip was about 30 minutes long......no way 1 and 1/2 hours. ....... but I didn't get sea sick. the island was interesting we had lunch at a local restaruant then toured around the island stopping at a few spots to hike a bit....we ended off at the Pelee Island winery for a tasting then hurried to the dock for the return trip which was on a much larger ferry .........so a much smoother ride. We will return someday as we didn't have time to explore all the areas we wanted to. Friday we took a circle trip along the shore of Lake Erie had a very nice lunch at a winery situated right on the shore. Then continued on to Windsor and back along the shore of Lake St. Clair to Lighthouse cove then back to the campground where I cooked a nice steak dinner for sue (it was our wedding anniversary) Back home on Saturday and am now extemely busy with the honey do list from Sue.

busy summer

Well Sue has been keeping me busy this summer..........new flooring is to be installed downstairs as well as painting and a new mantle over the fireplace. We did manage to get out camping for a bit. Spent part of July visiting friends north of Kingston then down to New York State. We stayed at Association Island campground on the eastern end of Lake Ontario......then down to Watkins Glen for 3 days hiking exploring and visiting Corning New York. Next it was up to Julian Ponds campground so Sue could hit the outlet mall near Rochester then over to Southwoods RV park east of Rochester for 3 days. A really nice campground with a fellow titanium owner there for the season. Finally after more shopping back home and on to the chores. Got the fireplace mantle done then prepared the floor to be replaced I will put down the new Laminate wood floor and get the rest of the area ready for someone else to lay the linoleum. It is now August and we are down at Campers Cove campground near Wheatley Ontario............relaxing in the sun trying to keep cool. nice campground and Sue's sister is visiting today. Have been exploring the local wineries and Windsor Tomorrow it is on the ferry for Pelee Island for the day.
