Hospital stuff, e-test, grass mowing on a sunny day, we busy !

Where are we today ? 
        More wonderful weather in our peaceful camping spot, loving it. We have a busy day planned and at 6:30 this morning it got busier. Phone call from Suzie's Dad that Suzie's Gramma was admitted to the hospital (she is 98 years young). So sister-in-law picked up Suzie's mom to take her to the hospital in Kitchener to be with her mother.
        At 10 am I dropped Suzie off in New Hamburg so she could go with her Dad to Stratford for the pre op stuff for his hip replacement at the end of this month (that was 4 hours).
        While they were gone I ran a few errands pick up fuel for the grass mowing here and get an E-test on our little car. Another cash grab from our Ontario government, needs to be done every two years a simple emission test takes 10 minutes $39.95. Our 11 year old aturn passed with flying colors!
          Then back to camp Plattsville filled up the mower (this has a 61 inch deck on it and proceeded to do another 3 hours of grass cutting (probably about 3 acres). Suzie home by 3:30 and brought me up to date. Her Dad's info and pre-op went well, and Gramma has been admitted for tests.
love this mower, fun to ride
and gets the job done in half the time!

         When I finished up the lawn mowing I fired up or Weber Q to do some taters in foil with onions and fresh carrots in foil to go with some grill garlic farmer's sausage. You know something? Some of those carrot pieces look like they are burnt but boy ththa sure brings out the sugar and taste so sweet, yummy!
real tasty, hit the spot
        Supper done and its a great evening, so a quick dip in the pool here and feel like brand new. Now can relax outside and enjoy our books for a while before calling it another fun day.

  1. Sure glad we don't have that Clean Car thing here on Vancouver Island.

    Those carrots in foil do look pretty good, I'll have to try that.

  2. Love that mower. Some times I think I'd like a riding machine, but we don't have quite enough lawn to justify it.

      Can be a nuisance if you don't have enough space.

  3. I agree. I like a little char on my potatoes, carrots, squash ... well, just about everything. That makes them perfect.

  8. That is too bad about Suzie's gramdma. 98 wow to live to be that old would be amazing as long as you had your independence.
    I agree I love it when the veggies that have natural sweetener get a little over done. I especially like my corn to have color on it mmmm..
