Tues. May 3rd, 2011, Not yet

Join us as we travel North America in our 

Holiday Rambler Vacationer, since August 2006

       Not yet? Spring is not yet here, still rainy, cold, damp, overcast and muddy everywhere here at the farm. Really now enough is enough, let's get on with the nice weather before we head south again (only 169 days to go). Morning coffees, computing an early morning trip into town to see what's new in the world of Plattsville. Nothing new and exciting there, checking with another fulltime rver , on his summer plans, they are "Winter Texans". While watching him tease (Jake) the guard dog? with a styrofoam cup.

       Now today we are going to visit Ma and take here out to lunch for Mother's Day (a few days early because we won't be her on Sunday). A nice rainy drive onto Waterloo, stop at Canadian Tire (my favourite Canadian Store) then around the corner and pick her up. Possibilities for lunch today are many but we agreed on Angel's Diner  a 50's style Restaurant & Deli with great food, good prices, large portions and a very friendly, efficient waitress.

Ma and Suzie

       So many choices but we did figure it out, Suzie had a ham, egg with homfries, breakfast and a dish of hot apples and cinnamon, Ma had her favourite western sandwich and I had a craving for their smoked meat on rye, with a huge dill pickle, coleslaw and fries.

       Get a load of this monster of a sandwich! That's my breakfast, lunch and supper today all in one. It really brought back memories of the great corned beef sandwiches that I used get from a small Deli Counter on Bay St in Toronto, (Colemans Deli) across from the Bus Terminal where I worked from 1967 to 1969 before transferring to the Kitchener Terminal. 

       After lunch took ma back home, had a nice visit there, then back to the farm, still raining all the while. We puttered around a bit, computing etc, then went in to visit with Sandy and Dennis for a bit while they had a roast beef supper, she had cooked tonight. We had a small sample of roast beef and gravy, not really hungry but it was tasty, thanks Sam. Then its getting late and still rainy so a bit of tv before calling it a night.

       The weather forecast for Tues. looks good sunshine, a bit of rain, and then 2 pm "SNOW" !! Hey this is May. The weatherman has been wrong before, lets hope so again.
