It's a done deal

The Alves Family will get our storage spot at Moodies and we will camp in their seasonal spot for July. Cedar Beach RV Park is a very nice family park on the north shore of Musselman's Lake, near Stouffville. Our side of the bargain is that we have to pay $200 for a seasonal pass, cut the grass and pay for the electricity. In turn we are giving our solar panels to Tom and Sunita to try out. We will be getting a more powerful bank of panels so won't need the old set which is only 45 watts.

The requests are in to stop the hydro and gas as of June 24th and I am getting our new postal address out to everyone. Progress indeed! Let me know if I should email you our new postal address and phone number.

A coincidence and a great plan for July!

While we were in Churchville, NY, we met the Alves family who also live in Pickering (small world). They also have a Triple E C class RV. A bit older than ours, but great for their family trips. It turns out that they have been trying to get a storage spot at Moodies for some time. We are going to try and get Steve at Moodies to give them our spot , they in turn, will allow us to park on their seasonal site up in the Stouffville area from June 20th or there abouts, until the end of July . This is all working out very well. Holding thumbs that Steve has not promised our site to someone else. What did I say about someone else being in control of our lives?? I think that is making itself more and more obvious!

I have set up the MagicJack and got a Markham number which is local calling from Toronto. The kids and friends up here will be able to call without incurring long distance charges and we can call North America from anywhere in the world for only $30 a year!! I love technology!

In Churchville, NY

We are presently camped in the parking lot of Camping World in Churchville, NY. It's pretty hot here, but it is FREE and I like free! Free internet in the sales showroom as well. Yesterday we went to Letchworth State Park. The Grand Canyon of the East. It was such a surprise. Beautiful river, gorgeous falls and parks. A pleasant day out. Today we just went into Greece, NY to buy a MagicJack at Best Buy. I will be setting that up at home. Hopefully the Bell stick internet will be fast enough. At the end of June we lose our home phone, so have to have that set up before then. Michael just doesn't understand how it works. He will be amazed once he finds out!

39 days!

We are heading off to Churchville, New York tomorrow for 2 days. Some shopping and sight seeing. This will be our last trip away before we go full time. Packing is going slowly, but we have sold quite a lot of furniture. Still the dining room suite to get rid of, a large square coffee table and a few other odds and ends. All the books are going to North York General Hospital for their book sale. Anyone want to buy a dresser and a chest of drawers?

47 Days

The sale of the condo is final and we have to be out by June 24th!! Yikes! So much to do, so little time. Have to get the Magic Jack for phone calls. You can now have a Canadian number on the MJ, so that is next on the list. Looking at solar panels and a generator. Last night I bought a new Epson multi function printer that has a front loading paper tray and is wireless, so I can set it up on the overhead bunk area. An internet stick or satellite internet??? We have to decide. The stick is cheaper, but maybe the speed is not fast enough for Skype and the Magic Jack. Have to research that. I would LOVE an iPad 3G but that is not in the budget.

The biggest thing now is to sell all the furniture and the buyer has expressed an interest in buying all our stuff. How lucky can we get??? Linens, Kitchen stuff, flatware, appliances all have to go. Goodwill and Diabetic Society have already got a ton of things.

The Move is ON!!!!
