Up with the sun this morning and we had rain overnight (did not hear it). Did get a couple of walkabouts between showers. But finally stopped just after 9 am. Laundry day so Suzie sorted the loads and I headed into Arkona to let the machines do their magic. And while that goes on I can enjoy my e-reader in the sunshine and comfort of the car.
Back home for a light lunch and Suzie can put the laundry away, A pretty good trade I must say.
Right after lunch I whipped up the road to Thedford
Juicy Fruit Orchards for some fresh picked corn. They do have some amazing products here when in season and as luck would have it they had White Corn, which we prefer when we can get it, But as long as it is fresh picked it is all good.
We were invited to a get together with 7 other couples that we see here at least once a year for a get together pot luck meal. Our donation is corn and fresh buns.

Then this afternoon we got into our e-readers for a while then over to socialize with all of our friends once again for this year. What a fun time we had about 17 of us there, chatting ,telling stories and having a few laughs. So nice to get together with everyone again.

Eventually time to head on home and call it a night getting chilly. It was a great day and really enjoyed some nice times catching up with friends and a wonderful meal. This is what this lifestyle is all about.
Glad that you dropped by and really just know y'all had a wonderful day as well.
Where have we been this summer ?
I am always amazed at how good the produce looks in Ontario. Hard to believe that you have apples ready for the picking. You are ahead of BC by several weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many wonderful friends and many amazing times.
Thanks we have met a lot of people over the years living this lifestyle.
DeleteWe do have a lot of very nice produce especially in the area of Ontario
Looks like a fine time and meal. Hard to beat those fresh summer fruits and veggies
ReplyDeleteYes Larry it sure was a great time, and we do love the local fresh fruits and veggies.
DeleteThose apples are early even for southwestern Ontario!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time. The picture of Suzie looks like she is cold, needs to move to the sun! :)
I recognize those little tomatoes, I'm still picking 3 or 4 every other day.
Yum the dinner looks wonderful!
They are early, but a great area for early crops. When the temperature is below 80f she feels cold. The dinner was at their site and all the tables in the shade, we sat in the sun later.These small tomatoes are yellow , love them so extremely sweet. Dinner was excellent, thanks.
DeleteLove the fresh veggies and fruit! We like white corn better when we can get it. Funny, I didn't even know white corn existed until I was grown as my daddy only grew yellow corn. The food looked awesome, hard choosing! Looks like a great group of people and a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe prefer the white corn as well, seems to tasty sweeter, but then again what do we know?
DeleteThe food was excellent as always. and always a fun group.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are good this time of year. We love the fresh local markets.
ReplyDeleteWe do love the local markets, nothing better!
DeleteStrawberry rhubarb pie! My favourote. What a good productive day...
ReplyDeleteThat os my favourite pie as well, a little sweet and sour. It was a productive day for sure.
DeleteI just realized your blog has turned from an RV one to a foodie blog. And I love it! :cD
ReplyDeleteYeah well we all have to eat and do love tasty food. But we still live in our RV full-time, Thanks for enjoying it.
