We had another good nights sleep then up with the sun this morning, another wonderful day! Sunshine and warm, summer is here. Coffee, computing and another walkabout the casino then we are on the road to visit with my sister Louise and brother in law Paul. A nice leisurely drive and we are there in an hour.
85 kms (52 miles today)
They have a nice house just south of Little Britain Ontario on Lake Scugog. We arrived about 11:00am and parked on their rear drive with a beautiful view of the lake out our front window.

nice view
Then we had a bite to eat for lunch, chatted for a while and took a nice leisurely tour around the lake on their pontoon, a perfect day for it.

Then shortly after 3 our brother Chris and his wife Sheri arrived for a visit, nice to get together when we have the chance.

Before we know it's time to fire up the barbie, so I threw on a bunch of chicken and grilled it while they set up the table with our salads, and gluten free cake for desert.

After supper we get together for a few pictures, it doesn't happen often that we get together so a perfect opportunity.
we used to be kids just a while ago
Chris, Louise, and Me
Thats the three of us, me being the oldest, Louise my baby sister and Chris, well he still has quite few years left to work. But I am sure they will go fast.
We were able the sit outside until the mosquitoes arrived to join our party, but by then it was about 9:30 so Chris and Sheri took the short drive home and we took the short walk home, after another awesome hot summer day.
You just made a very special memory for you all. So the hats run in the family, eh! Lovely home and location. I would want to stay for a very long visit.
Contessa: Me being the old guys started a trend, long time ago, (after the long hair and beard) and took them a while to catch up with the hats. Yes we have fun, but too long and my sister makes me work too hard, lotsa projects for me. We be back thou, have more family to see.
Kevin and Ruth: Yes my sister has a nice spot for us to visit and a van conversion (Roadtrek) for travel with but still need a stick house and all the expensive toys. So we can have a nice place to park! Love my sister....
Fabulous! Thanks for the posting!
