      Want to wish all the Father's out there a very Happy Father's Day
hope you enjoyed it I know I did.

       Our last sleep here at Rock Glen for a while and we both slept well. Up early a short walkabout then puttered around , storing our satellite dish. dump our sewage,.secure the coach and hook up the car. On the road by 9 am. Heading back to Plattsville again, earlier than planned but will work out better for us.
heading the quiet back roads to Stratford
            Stopped at the Canadian Tire in Stratford to top up the gas in our coach, only $1.09 a litre , may as well when it is a good price. Then on to Plattsville arriving at 11:00 am A call from SIL Sandy that they are taking Suzie's Dad for lunch at the Swiss Chalet in Stratford for Father's Day (his favourite place). So we met up with them and enjoyed a very tasty lunch there just the 5 of us.
    Suzie ordered a Kale caesar salad to start that she shared with me plus a 1/4 chicken dark meat with baked potato that she enjoys.  I ordered the Sweet Heat salad with an tangy Thai sauce this is a very hearty, tasty salad with a boneless chicken breast, was wonderful.
Suzie and her Dad looking good.
as I posted before they now use paper straws
 instead of plastic better for the environment .
A yummy Kale caesar we shared
my Sweetie heat salad was excellent
Suzie's 1/4 chicken and baked potato
          We were back home by 2 pm and finished setting up our satellite dish and enjoy some decent outside weather, Though overcast was a comfortable 67F. A few sprinkles of rain for a couple of minutes. so deployed our awning. no wind so was a perfect afternoon enjoying our e-readers.
we do love the views here
and so peaceful here, we love it
        During the day I had received a test from Daughter number 2 this morning wishing me a happy Father's Day, then one from my son with a video of granddaughter #2 signing Happy Father's Day. then a phone call from daughter number 1. She has been busy with a house full of company but did fine time to give me a call as well. These three calls just made my Father's Day a pretty perfect one.
this picture I took last night after posting at Rock Glen
a full load for the wage ride
always fun for those who go
        That was our busy day just moving down the road again like we enjoy, and some pretty decent weather as well. Things to do tomorrow Suzie is taking her Dad for appointments in the morning and needs to leave here for 7:30 am, much easier than from Rock Glean leaving at 5:30 am.  Plus I can get things done to our car and coach and mow some lawn.
       Hope y'all had a wonderful Father's Day as well.
