      After another fun surprise party for my good friend Jim and see Ted again plus all of Jim's family as well as the excellent meal we got back home around 7 pm last night. A bit later Jim came over to visit with us last night and chat for a while until after dark and it cooled down, Christine arrived a bit later to join us as well more catching up, just the 4 of us was really nice.

     Not long afterward we were in bed sound asleep very quickly. Up this morning at my usual 4:30 am it as a chilly 59 outside but as the sun came up the temperature quickly climbed. After a few coffees I enjoyed a nice quiet walkabout this quiet campground about 7:30 and down to the lake, first mile of the day. What a beautiful area that we love. In the Kawartha's vacation country of Ontario .

love the views across the lake here so peaceful

Jim's boat here

nice quiet beach in the early morning

          A bit later we took a drive through Fenelon Falls to Bobcaygeon, areas my stomping grounds back in the 70's, 80's and 90's many times, when my Father had a cottage and then house in Bobcaygeon, He and his wife are buried in the cemetery there in town so I wanted to go and visit with him for a bit , while we are close by, it has been a few years. Dad and I had so many fun times together and along with his wife Shirley back in the day.

Just had to come by and chat with him again

     We drove about town past this stone cow that I remember step sister Kim and I walked on by to the local bar in town late at night. Too funny she wanted to take this cow along with us.

this was the Bar we headed to was
called the Doctor's office, a real hopping place
we were much younger single and more foolish

         Then Suzie and I strolled the streets and checked  out the lift locks like we like to do .

these locks are so cool to see in operation

a few boats waiting

walking across the gates to the other side

then check out Bigleys a very expensive tourist place.
but have been here forever

a cool 57 Chevy Pickup on the street

heading back a couple of boats
coming through the locks

more boats on the other side waiting

hey a unicorn on the river!

    Then making our way back to camp stopped at the Fenelon Falls lift lock to check it out, Why not we have the time. There was 4 boats in the lock waiting for the water to lower and take them down to the lower river level.

waiting for the water too go down

not long the gates opened and they carried on
a cool operation

and away they go

we walked up river a bit and checked
 out some of these houseboats
just because we could

they have bicycles here you can use to ride about town

interesting house boats we can rent and tour the lift locks ,
 and the whole Trent canal system maybe someday

this would a be a cool way to explore the lakes

now this guy has very large Yacht we chatted with
AQUAHOLIC is the name

    Back home we enjoyed a light tasty lunch , Then shortly after my Buddy Jim came by to visit while Christine took her Grand Daughter to the beach. What a fun afternoon Jim and I had , (Suzie as well) Chatting with him and rehashing so many of the last 60  years filling in the gaps here and there.

Jim, me and Suzie chatting where did the 3 hours go?

          Then about 4;30 I made up a simple salad to take the their place for Supper , using up the leftover chicken from yesterday at there friend Dale's ( he did the ribs and beans yesterday).

back at Dales while he reheated the chicken

an we had another feast just the 6 of us at Dale's place

what a tasty meal we enjoyed.

    After supper we enjoyed a lively game of cards that was fun, They had to teach me and I ended up winning, beginners luck?  Too bad we were weren't playing for money, don't remember the name of the game but was easy, and quick paced.

 lively card game we all enjoyed
soon tine for us to head home

    Jim was heading back to his home has some doctors appointments tomorrow , Glad that he could stay here today and visit with us, We will try to get together  more often in the future.

     Any who it was a fun day we  enjoyed here and back on the road in the morning to Rock Glen Resort catching up with more friends again,  "The party never ends,"  it seems like.

     Thanks  for taking the time to visit.  Sunday morning we got a few group pictures of us good friends at their Ridge, taken and Patsy did this one below, I borrowed it from her blog Chillin' with Patsy.

thanks Patsy for taking this great photo
