A quiet Sunday and a celebration of life for a good friend,

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
             No more rain after the downpour we had yesterday afternoon. A quiet Sunday morning just puttering around, A quick trip to New Hamburg to get more gas for the mower here Then a light tasty lunch.A quite comfortable warm sunny day not as hot as yesterday only feels like 86F with a slight breeze quite comfortable in the shade.
        Then a nice walkabout  and some reading. And watching the grass growing like crazy after all that rain yesterday.
heck it will soon need to be cut again !
        This afternoon into Kitchener for a celebaration of life for a good friend of ours Harry Powell who passed away last week. We first met Harry and Jackie in Abita Springs Louisiana in 2006.  had some fun times with them, spent the afternoon at the Abita Springs Brewery for free tasting of all their wonderful tasty beers. Then we found out they were also members of Rock Glen resort. We enjoyed lots of fun times with them here and also at Rock Glen, even when Harry worked Maintenance there for a couple years at Rock Glen.  The celebration was wonderful with all the family and friends there as well as this whole group from last year's BBQ at Rock Glen, plus a few more. We chatted with quite a few and will see them again this August.
this was our group last Year Aug 18th at Rock Glen

    Back home here by 4 pm, relaxed for a bit in the shade enjoying our reading, then soon time to whip up supper. We had a few snacks, cheese, crackers and veggies this afternoon so all we needed was to grill a couple of burgers tonight.
some nice quite reading time we always enjoy
turkey burger for Suzie and Chrorizo burger for  me

this sure hit the spot tonight
and a few more of our fresh Ontario Strawberries
      Now after supper and dishes done we can still enjoy a wonderful warm comfortable evening outside , Finish this posting read a bit more and listen to the birds, and watch the rabbits and chipmunks around our space. Really have to love this quiet country living.
       A bit later we watched a powered paraglider flying around the area as we do many evening and managed to get a picture of one below. 
just buzzing around up there enjoying the scenery
      Now last night I took drive down the road looking for another sunset , and was surprised with  what I saw.
heck colourful skies again
then looked east and saw this wonderful cloud formation
     And that was our relaxing day, and the celebration of life of a good friend of ours. In a way sad , but so many memories and so many friends there. Now he is at peace.
    Thanks for taking the time to check us out and hope you had a decent summer day as well.
