Back in Ontario today, safe and sound,(cold too)....

Where are we today ?

New Hamburg Ontario, Canada

         Up and ready to hit the road early this morning. Not too early to leave, but 8 am is a good time for us. We can relax, compute, chat, enjoy our coffees and a walkbout before we pack up to go.

        So on the road 8:10 am heading north, just look at the weather forecast below. It is awesome here, with humidity gonna be 93f. New Hamburg gonna feel like 39f.....bbrrrr.......

        Check out the map, that is all we travelled and the weather has changed dramatically.

317 miles today

Findlay Ohio

         Now just up the road for a bit stopped at Flying J to fill up out propane tank and spotted this breakfast omelet pizza. Well looked pretty interesting, two huge slices for 5 bucks. Well let me tell you at 8:45 am these were very tasty and just freshly baked, a really good deal. Sure filled us up I can tell you.

excellent breaky

        Now for the next couple hours just drove in the rain. Below is the view thru our windshield.

yep its rainin'

        Shortly after noon we came to the Bluewater bridge in Port Huron Michigan, Border crossing!!! Well again one of our easiest crossings ever. No line up, at all pulled right up the the gate a couple of easy questions. Yep we spent $822.00, and spent $1800.00 in repairs (new fridge) have three part bottles of whiskey, 3 bottles wine, 25 cans of beer, no problem have a good day!! Gotta love these great border guards!!

         Now just a couple hours down the back roads to the farm. Passed  the Wildwood Conservation area and the lake was still frozen, hmm we are here too soon.

the lake is still frozen

        Getting close to the farm and what do wee see? SNOW!! Nope don't wanna see snow, but here it is, not good!

        Any who, here we are at the farm, we on soggy ground. Dennis had some planks laid out for us to drive our front wheels on so as not to sink out of sight on the lawn. (Thanks Dennis! ! ) Keep our drive wheels on the pavement thou!!!! Made that mistake a few years ago.

Our parking spot for a short while

the creek is up very high out front

look at me, jeans sweat shirt and socks!!!

          First day back here at the farm and Dennis and Sandys' (31st, I believe) anniversary. So we gonna take them for supper to the Edge in Plattsville, along with Suzie's Mom and Dad, celebrate their 57th anniversary at the same time. We had a great time and a wonderful feast (me I enjoyed the awesome chicken wings).

yummy wings

         That's it for today, we are back in very cold (expensive) Canada. But this is where our family is and we can enjoy some more great times with them again during the almost summer months.
         Thanks for stopping by and enjoying our trip back home. Was good for us and hope it was good for you too.
