On Our Way To Myrtle Beach




Our bags are packed and we are ready to go. We were up early so we called Ralph and Grace to see if they were ready to leave earlier. Of course they were. We set off and made our first stop at Duty Free. Crossing the border, Laura called just as we arrived at the border control station. Ralphs phone answers in the truck automatically. Our attendant was not too impressed and warned us to turn our cell phones off when crossing the border. We made great time getting to Winston Salem. We stopped for gas and ate our lunch in the car while traveling. Grace and I enjoyed a movie in the car along the way. We saw Country Strong. The weather has been cooler than we hoped but the further south we went it got up to the 60's. We enjoyed some dinner at Applebees before entering the Hotel. Now we are putting our feet up and enjoying a drink together. Looking forward to arriving in Myrtle Beach tomorrow.

Walk along the Lakeshore






It has been a quiet long weekend.  This afternoon we went for a walk along the lakeshore.  We saw some of the airshow going on at the CNE.  The show didn't seem to have as many planes as we have seen in the past, but it was still fun to see.  We took Oakley with us and he enjoyed the walk.

Camping in Killbear August 10 to 22 - Lighthouse Point # 1452













It has been a while that we have camped in Killbear.  It was good to be back again.  We were amazed at the amount of deer we saw on the side of the roads.  There were bear walking through campsites as well.  We were camping with Jim and Debbie and the boys, Henry and Yolande and the kids, Dave and Janet Banks and their 2 boys, Barb and Richard with the girls visiting a couple of times, Wilf and Lydia and Kristen with her friend Courtney.  We had visitors join us such as Mom and Dad, Ed and Liz, the Miedema's, the Bloms, Mike and Janice and friends of theirs.  Jerry and Liz came the second week and Ed and Janice came on our last day.  We were never lonely.  Went fishing and were able to have one awesome fish fry which tasted delicious.  Wilf learned a new way to fillet the fish.  Enjoyed some cool lightning storms seen in the distance.  First week weather was awesome.  Second week not as nice.

Camping the August Long Weekend in 6 Mile Lake






It has been a long time since we camped on a long weekend.  Lawrence had taken Thursday and Friday off before the long weekend and took Sandra camping somewhere close to home.  They tried Awenda and couldn't get in so we ended up at 6 Mile Lake.  We had a postage stamp size campsite but it was close to the water and worked perfect for a weekend.  Sean joined us on the Saturday.  Wilf and Lydia and the kids and Dave and Wilma and some of the kids came up on the Sunday to join us for the day.  Who would have thought we could fit 16 of us around the campfire for dinner.  Had a great time.

Ladies League Golfing at Cardinal




Can't remember the exact date of this but think it is July 26th.  Grace and I dressed up our cart in a dutch theme with our dutch jerseys.  We were the only ones who did anything so we won a prize.  The skies were awesome to see.

Woodington Lake Golf Course - July 23




Was a beautiful day to go golfing.  We teamed up with Grace and Ralph, Grace and John and Dave and Wilma.  What fun.  In the evening we all joined up together at Dave and Wilma's for a delicious dinner.  It started to rain in the evening so we headed inside but this didn't prevent us from having a great evening together.
