January 8 to 13, 2015.



Thursday January 8, 2015.


Michele went out and got all the ingredients to make the same soup as her sister-in-law Manon.  It is a soup with very low calories.

It must have been a good soup because by the end of the day it is all gone!

Friday January 9, 2015.


I wake up to a gray sky.  I still go out to do a few caches.  I have to get out and breathe a little fresh air.  It is a nice + 7 C.
By the time I get back home at 11:30 am, the rain starts for good!

Might as well use this time to catch up on our blog.  By the end of the day, I finally made it to January 7.
With the forecast for the next few days as wet and cold, it will be inside time a lot.
We are actually thinking about moving to Florida where it is warmer, but I do not think we will.   We do not feel like traveling for 5 or 6 days in rain and cold weather.

Saturday January 10, 2015.


It rained all night and it continued until noon.  At 7:53 this morning, it is 36 F (2 C) outside and 56 F (13 C) inside.
BRRRR!

The ground is saturated with water and the water is just traveling on the road.

There is actually current...

The funny thing is once the rain stopped, in 20 minutes the water puddles are all gone from the grass area.

We got an email from the owners of the RV Park we go to in Ontario, North Shore RV Park.  They are camping at Bentson Palms and invite us for a "cheap beer".  We will be going this afternoon.

Jan & Jannie are really nice people.

Of course, the toys have to come with them.  They even have a dune buggy in the trailer.

Jan & Jannie.

We really enjoy seeing them again and the cheap beer was good to!  I think we will have to come back for more cheap beer!

What is this bright light in the sky?

We had a few sunny breaks today.  A lot of Winter Texans came out of hibernation...

We decide to have lunch at the Chinese buffet.  On our way there, we saw an old fashion lawnmower!

It was OK, nothing more, nothing less.

After dinner, we skyped with our son Jeremy and grandson Gabriel.

Gabriel was a little rascal, but so funny!

We are in the middle of a heat wave!?!?!  Not really, but the temperature still went up to + 18 C.
Usually we play petanque on Sunday evening, but with the cold day we had yesterday, the games moved to today.  We had a good afternoon off fun playing petanque.

Tonight is bingo night and Michele goes and plays, but not me.  She did not win anything!

Tuesday January 13, 2015.


Last evening, we received an email from Charles and Agnes asking us to the movies tomorrow afternoon.  Since the temperature is going to be in the +8 C range, we accept.

I can just imagine this police "car" having a high-speed chase after another golf cart ?!?!?

Just for fun I went around Charles' truck with our car.  We all got a good laugh about it!

We are going to see the movie "Into the woods".  I am not going to go into the description of the movie, but we liked it. 

Here, most movie theaters offer, for free, head sets to help people hard of hearing and they also offer a device so you can read the sub-titles of the movie playing.  What a good idea.

The way you see the sub-titles.

This movie theater does have some pretty cool washrooms.

To put an end to this very good afternoon, we all go to this Buffet restaurant.


Very nice restaurant, but we have seen way better.

Until next time.

Life Is Good!
