After a later night than usual yesterday , ( I will tell you why later) we slept in until just after 6 am. wow! But no hurry today. We are leaving here about 11 am so I did a quick trip to the store and stopped by Suzie's brothers house to pick up the Genealogy books that Suzie had prepared for today.
Then we secured the coach and headed on down the road about 20 minutes past
Punkeydoodle's Corners to Tavistock.

Suzie had printed 6 Stere Books with 176 pages each and sold then all and orders for 5 more books, also had 5 sets of just the pages printed or those who wanted those. It was a huge success.
We left there about 3:45 with the motorhome and car right there headed the back roads to Rock Glen Resort or home membership park for about 2 weeks I think? Love the no overnight fees here with our membership.

| here we are back again. |
We arrived at 5 pm with the friendly Kristy at the desk checking us in just as she was closing up for the day. Then got set up on our favourite site again beside the cabin, much drier that when we left here 11 days ago. Even overcast you know it is hot 80F (26C) at 6 pm when Suzie is in shorts , then we enjoyed relaxing outside with a late Happy hour enjoying the peace a quiet here and full hookups once again. Still outside reading after 8 pm and still in shorts, love that there is no bugs here.
 |
| so peaceful here |
We were so late last night when our Neighbours Barry and Helen Fennel invited us over to enjoy their campfire just before 9 pm, So heck we joined then and had some lively conversation for a couple of hours, Again we have known them for about 30 years and even camped with them and their girls when they were much younger, well I guess we were all much younger back then.

That was a wonderful way to wind up our last day here for a while, and of course we will see them again as well always do.
The family reunion was fun as usual always a great way for relatives to see one another at least once a year.
Thanks for joining us today and hope you had a good one as well. No supper needed tonight that's for sure we are quite comfortable after our feast for lunch. Even brought one pice of Rhubarb crisp home that I made for Suzie babe tomorrow.

Punkeydoodles Corner is quite an interesting name!! Glad you got your favorite site..it’s a nice one!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is and interesting name , love it. just a tiny hamlet with about 5 houses.
DeleteWe do like this site for various reasons.
What a huge turn out for the reunion and lots of food and yummy desserts. Nice to know the books Suzie worked on went well.
ReplyDeleteUsually always good turnout, nice to chat with people and enjoy some tasty food. She has done research for many years, end enjoys it.
DeleteI always enjoy reading about the reunion. Congratulations Suzie on completing the books, I know you have spent years and untold hours working on this project. You have created a wonderful history that your family will enjoy forever.
ReplyDeleteThe reunion is something for the family to treasure. Thanks Contessa she tries to get updates for the books and keep upgrading them. She has spent many years working on this project no just to keep updating it when people give her the information.
DeleteThat was a great moving day! I can see why only one FULL plate was enough for you. That's a lot of food but a good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteIt was a perfect fun day. My plate was mostly salads , a good thing nice and light, plus a piece of fried chicken, I cannot resist. So many more tasty choices as well though.
DeleteGreat turnout!! I bet it's fun to catch up with everyone. I have to say that's one of the best campsites I've seen.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good time as usual and see everyone again.
DeleteWe do love this campsite but is a chore to get level side to side. We do know how after coming here for 13 years.
That was a lot of people at the reunion! I bet it was filled with good food and great conversation.
ReplyDeleteIt was another good turnout and wonderful food for sure.
DeleteFamily reunions are so much fun, and good for you sticking to one plate. I'm sure the books Suzie made where very popular, and a nice acknowledgement for what I'm sure was a lot of hard work!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun day everyone enjoyed. Nice that so many people are interested in the family history, she did spend quite a few years researching and putting these books together
DeleteLove how Suzie's family has the reunion every year and what a turnout! The book is such an awesome idea and such hard work to put together! Nice that she's got more orders too! Lots of food and dessert..yum! Now to relax in that great campground!
ReplyDeleteThey have been doing these reunions for many years. There was talk about not every years but was voted down by the masses that were there. Suzie enjoyed the research over the years and still keeps it updated as much as she can. The foods and desert are always plentiful and very tasty. Relaxing now for a while is always nice.
DeleteWhat a great turnout for the family reunion. Glad Suzie did well with the sale of her geneology books it speaks well of her efforts and the family that values their heritage.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back at your favorite campground.
It was good turnout and So many people are interested in her hard work she is happy they want to know about the family history as much as she is.
DeleteAlways nice to be back here even if it is raining.
