Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      Now this is the summer time weather we have been waiting for. Windows open all night with a light breeze very comfortable for sleeping At 5am was 67F outside and warming quickly as the sun came up. Shortly after 7 am I enjoyed a nice walkabout town stopped by Pettigrews chatted for a bit and back home 2 miles done. Then a quick trip to the Pharmacy to pick up our prescriptions. Read outside for a bit enjoying this lovely hot morning weather in the shade .
nice view of the sunrise and mist over the yard 
10:30 this morning under our awning that is in the sun.
loving it (actually only 89f under the tree)
       We headed to New Hamburg to pick up Suzie's Dad for 11 am to go to Anna Mae's in Millbank a favourite place we love their home cooked meals, but have never ordered anything other than their Famous Broasted chicken that we all really enjoy. Waiting to be seated for a minute or 2 another couple came in that we all knew from their Church,  Sam and Ada Wagler so they joined us and the gums just flapped chatting and telling stories enjoying our tasty meals for almost 2 hours. Also at 2 tables about 20 women just behind us stopped by and most said hi. Always seem to run into people when we come here over the years. We dropped her Dad back in New Hamburg and were home here about 2 pm. Of course I brought a piece of chicken home on purpose. Another tasty lunch to enjoy.
 LR:Ada, Sam, Suzie's Dad and Suzie
        I ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner with fries, sauerkraut, and a cheese bun.
a large meal but no desert for me and
I planned to taken some chicken home
Suzie enjoyed fresh strawberry pie for desert 
lots of great pies to take home if you like
only $11.95 
Heading home through Crosshill passed a large mennonite
wagon, ( 2 horses) so many in this area
         We read outside under our awning and still 92 F so just before 3 pm  I actually did get in to enjoy the pool and cool down. The water temp was 78F warming up nicely.  Now refreshed enjoying the warm shade and nice breeze and of course more reading. A later than usual happy hour, there will be no supper tonight, not needed after our lunchtime feast. Maybe popcorn later on with a movie.
the pool is so inviting  and was very refreshing
      I am going to wrap this posting up early, just going to read outside and enjoy the birds and mourning doves cooing, and few, bunnies' squirrels and chipmunks to keep us entertained as well. Reading as long we like outside , chat a bit and head in later on. Maybe catch a sunset later on this evening if I do you will see it tomorrow.
       That was a very nice day visiting and enjoying a tasty lunch and this amazing summer weather we are having and the bonus of cooling off in the pool, first time this year here, I am sure many more times as well. Oh by the way did get the results of my blood work I had done yesterday emailed to us from the lab. And according to what we checked out from previous tests all looks good and levels have even dropped including my PSA, so looks like we can keep going for a while yet, Yahoo !
    These 2 pics below were last nights sunsets just down river road from here about 9 pm.
    You know we enjoyed our day hope you enjoyed yours as well and thanks for dropping by for a peek.

  1. Our local Mennonite community uses a big wagon like that for transporting the children to school and their products to the stores they supply. Buses and tractor trailers NOT.

    1. They do use these here for that as well, Lots of them around if they need more they will hire them. We really do enjoy this area and Suzy and her family are Mennonite, he grew up in this area way back when and has so many stories to tell. Of that that lifestyle .

  9. I can imagine the pool felt very good with those temps - hopefully the water won't get so warm as to not be refreshing.
