More great weather, walkabouts and an awesome supper with Tuna steaks on the grill.

Where are we today ?
        Guess what?  We are having another wonderful day! Tiny bit cooler than we like only the mid 70's F  (24C) but thats ok we got sunshine and not too humid. A few walkabouts during the day then pick up a few groceries in town, love the small town grocery stores, maybe not the cheapest but very friendly people, good service and close to where we are. Fresh picked  Strawberries' at McLean's Berry farm around the corner, fill up the car with cheap gas at the Reserve, only $1.05.9 a litre ($4.00 US per gallon) compared to much more everywhere else.
just around the corner from us

Picked up a quart of fresh berries, not cheap but oh so good,
season will be done in a couple days
       
       Puttered around for a while , enjoyed our e-readers and  were invited over to George and Rose's for happy hour around 3 pm. So wander up we did,  met another new couple, shared some stories, told some lies, shared a few snacks and had a great time. Thanks George and Rose. Gotta like anybody with the name George right? At least I do.
we enjoy these visits for an hour or so
now Max became my best buddy, gave him a few nibbles
       Then back home to whip up supper. Tonight some Tuna Steaks on the grill, its been a while and really enjoy these.

        Again another great day enjoying this very nice weather and of course with my best friend Suzie by my side. Can't imagine anything better.
         Hope you had great day as well, nice of you to stop on by.

    1. Can't help enjoy this wonderful weather can we?
      Just hanging around outside, walkabouts, and chatting with people, is the atmosphere for meeting a lot of people.

  6. Just curious as to why your gas is so expensive when Canada is exporting oil to the US? You'd think your gas would be much cheaper.

    1. That be our high taxes and "free" health care, Just like a 1/2 gallon bottle of whiskey there is $18.00 and the same bottle here is $57.00 !
