Our new Motorhome!!

Add caption


How exciting!! We have traded the Triple E for a Jayco Seneca 35 GS. It is gorgeous and the space!! We have really been struggling with this Regal mini motorhome. The serious lack of space for stuff really got to us. It is fine for a summer holiday and weekend trips, but not to live in full time. It is going to be so nice to have all that room. Also it is a diesel so should have lots of power. From the research I have found out that the fuel consumption is actually better than what we got in the smaller RV.

What a Monster!
We have to leave here on Sunday and will be going to Moodies in Ajax until we take possession, then we move to Milton. I am still working for another couple of weeks so Ajax will be better as far as the commute is concerned.

Over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend we went up to Arrowhead Provincial Park near Huntsville, Ontario. The weather was absolutely fabulous!! Thea had booked 2 fantastic sites. We ate and rode our bikes and took a drive into Algonquin Provincial Park where we saw 4 moose. Ate ice-cream and fudge and lots of good food, including South African foods. It was a wonderful weekend. I think even the kids had a good time!

Torn cartilage and a job offer!

Well, after tripping and tearing the cartilage, I went into North York General Hospital to get it attended to. I bumped into the lead trainer outside the elevator and she asked me if I wanted to come back to work for a while. So here I am back at NYGH working on an as needed basis as a Cerner Powerchart trainer. At least I will earn enough money to pay for gas when we travel South in December.

Valens Conservation Area - Teenage weekend

September 10th, 11th and 12th

Well, teenagers sure have changed since I was a teen. Even since our kids were teens. There were a LOT of hormones hanging around that campground!

We were very lucky in that the site had a 50 amp electric box on it, so we were able to plug ourselves in and the Krugers also had electricity. It really does make a lot of difference. It was an interesting weekend to say the least, but we had fun. The weather was relatively good with only a little of rain. Bobby put up the big dining tent and we all sat in there for meals. Up to 16 of us at one meal. Great!

The weekend ended with me tripping on a tent peg and tearing a cartilage in my knee. Not funny at all.

We left mid afternoon and headed back to Cedar Beach Park where we were again going to squat on our friend's (Tom and Sunita's) site until the end of October.

Back into Ontario

Here we are back in Ontario, Canada. The border crossing was quick and uneventful. We have pulled into our friend's driveway in Cambridge so that we can go through some of the boxes of stuff in storage there. We are going to stay here (inside the house) for a few days and then go with them to Valens Conservation area on the weekend. It is one of the kid's birthday, so a group of teenagers and some adults are camping on the group site. Should be fun.
