    Slept well last night and late this morning almost 6:30 ! wow. A colder night only 44F at that time. So we got our coffees and computing taken care of then hopped in the car and headed into Kitchener Ontario 81 miles each way. Now we are passing right through New Hamburg and my hearing aides are back from being repaired under warranty so had an appointment there for 10:30 to pick them up make sure all is working well, Yahoo, much better blue tooth is working again for the i-phone AND tv. perfect.
81 miles each way
      Next appointment in 2 hours so time to kill, stopped at Walmart bought myself a new hoody, and Suzie a pair of pants, then still time so decided to go for lunch, Heck another treat we should not eat but decided some KFC, it has been a couple of years and was actually pretty good.
this was another not healthy but tasty treat we enjoyed
      Here it was only 11 am and my appointment in Kitchener with DR. McCauig Ophthalmologist  consultation for my Cataract he specializes in these. Wow what a busy guy he is and apparently quite good, in the waiting room was 15-20 people at any given time. One family had driven all the way from Montreal to see him 400 miles each way. He is very professional and right on schedule I was in to get some tests done with 3 different ladies and he came in for the final test and he told me I have not one but 2 Cadillacs . Always wanted a Cadillac and now I have 2. The surgery about 4 months away puts us into winter, hmm, don't want to spend the winter here so we will get back here next spring and get them both done (one at a time a month apart). With all the drops in my eyes and testing Suzie was here to drive us back home, my vision was pretty blurry for a while. We were outta there in 45 minutes.
     On the way home we stopped at SIL Sandies to check for mail and drop off a fall coat she has that Sandy will sew a new Zipper in for her. Had a nice visit and back on the road making the wonderful country drive back to Rock Glen resort arriving here at 4 pm . Another long driving day but was very productive.
what a perfect late summer afternoon
   Now such a beautiful sunny warm afternoon we enjoyed a quiet Happy hour outside. After being in the car all day. But the ride home I got to finish reading another John Sandford Novel just as we turned the corner in the park. Nice when she drives and I can enjoy reading for a change.
     Then for supper tonight we decided a salad was a good idea with some of the leftover fried pork chops that Donna sent home with us last night. Just right and oh so tasty.
this hit the spot for a light supper
       Still enjoying this warmer weather this evening as long as we can then eventually head in later on, nice there is no bugs here to bother us. By the way finger is doing wonderful still no pain or issues, will see how it goes next Tuesday when I go back to have it straightened .
       Thanks for dropping on by and hope Ya'all had a great day as well.

Where are we today ?

     After yesterday's beautiful weather we had rain overnight , making for another good sleep , Rain drops on the roof are so soothing. And still raining this morning so no early walkabout.                               Shortly after 9 am it had stopped so I headed for a walkabout, got only 2 blocks done and started to sprinkle a bit, about face and back home again, Oh well I had good intentions.
        We puttered around for a while, purged some photos and did a time machine backup on my Mac Book.
        Then I headed into Kitchener for my yearly eye tests at 12 noon.  Hey I have something new! Cataract in my right eye developing. So we set the process in place to see the specialist to have this done. Now here in Ontario takes about 10 months get this done, so may as well start now.
      Next in my agenda I headed to New Hamburg for my yearly hearing test. Yup I am still deaf no changes just a few setting change done to my hearing aides and I should be good until the next time. The joys of getting older, I am luckier than some that do not get   to enjoy these health issues.
       Back home by 3 pm and reading outside on an almost sunny warm afternoon 62 F is pretty good. Waiting to hear from Suzie to head on home.
       I picked her up at  6 pm, and we decided on supper at the Trails Edge in town , always great food here.
 a Cold brew to start
shared a small ceasar salad
seafood pasta for Suzie we will take some home
my fish and chips was excellent 
        Now we home by 7:30 pm enjoy some outside for a bit . Cooling down now into the high 50;s F Time to wrap up our day and head on inside for the night
        Glad that you  dropped bye for a visit.
