      These later nights and busy social times are catching up with me. I came home at 9pm from the campfire . Soon to bed and slept until 6:45 this morning wow, but I do feel well rested . And right back at it again today, more fun times here.
      I enjoyed once early morning walkabout temps about 65 f quite comfortable. Then a quick trip to Strathroy for some deals at the Super store the I can get points for. These points add up quick Next time I will have enough for $20.00 of free groceries. Usually about once a month.
    Home for a light lunch and enjoy some afternoon quiet time in the shade enjoying our page turners.



       A few pics from last night's campfire with friends and of course Henry on Suzie's lap.
Henry with Suzie
then to jump on Bill's lap as well
       This morning's walkabout by the pool a table tennis area.
The band will be here tomorrow night
         After a few more walkabouts chatting with  a few friends, Time for a nice long hot shower. And trim my hair and beard while Suzie does the  final trim for me, we do make a great team!
Linda dropped by with her puppies
 and right away to see Suzie
        About 3:30 over for Happy Hour with this bunch of friends, Lots of stories and many laughs as we always have.
Henry again right to Suzie for a rub
     A bit later this couple walked by taking their pot belly pig for a stroll.
Henry was not sure what to make of it
Looking and sniffing, what is this?
hm does not smell like a dog
     At 5:30 we headed down for the Fish Fry tonight. got a table and waited, chatted with friends as they arrived .
Good friend Ron Font is cooking the fish
our table was perfect
More friends arrived and joined us
      When our number was called we went up for a wonderful hot fresh cooked pickerel/walleye and homemade fries, and of course fresh buns and 2 choices of coleslaw , I choose the creamy one.
now this was an excellent, Fish fry. lightly
breaded and done to perfection only 10 bucks each
      Shortly after 6 pm  we headed home made more table space for others. Suzie did our dishes , I finished this posting and back to visit our friends for an campfire for a while.
this couple here with the kids
are travelling well
     That's about it for now, gotta party some more then call it a night. See how long I last tonight, heck I am not 20 anymore and burn out pretty fast.
     Glad that you stopped on by and hope you enjoy a nice day as well.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
     After the windy day yesterday things sure cooled down overnight 52F at 5 am and not much warmer than that all day long. At least the high winds are gone and we can enjoy some sunshine. Typical for the first day of Fall. The Autumnal Equinox. Yes this sure is the first day of fall !
yes fall sure is here
          I dressed much warmer this morning and enjoyed a very nice walkabout the campground . The area we are in is very quiet, we  loving it!
we in the square and no one else camped here
        Now over in the orchard area it is pretty full with a large FMCA group enjoying this campground too, they pretty much keep to themselves though.
lots of rigs over there i the orchard
      Now I was up by the office and this wonderful lady Kristy, was smiling at me. and thought heck can I give her some recognition . When you check in here she is the number one Happy person you will greet. If I don't take a photo during the day I really don't remember what I did. Here she is Kisrsy below.
This be Kirsty, and of course Erin, Photo bombed us in the background
at least she kept her clothes on!~
       Because it was quite cool I worked on culling some photos from last years for a couple of hours. Then had enough and wanted to get outside. Then do some reading in our sunny spot we have here.
another Lee Child Jack Reacher page turner
do enjoy his books
nice and warm here in the sunshine
         A bit later Gail dropped by walking Hailee to say Hi to Suzie, we chatted for a while then at 5:30 we headed on down to the clubhouse for the Fish Fry.
That be Hailee
    It sure was wonderful sunny day, cool in the shade but comfortable in the sunshine , just the way we like it at this time of year.

       We have our table here for supper with friends from the park waiting for our number to be called , this meal is cooked to order, and so very tasty , 2 pcs of lake perch, fresh cut fries, homemade coleslaw, tarter sauce and a bun only $10. a person. We had it before an was excellent then an excellent again!
this be our table
these guys hard at work cooking up a wonderful meal
that be Erin giving me the evil eye dishing up hot fries
now this was a very tasty meal, lots food,
but did manage to finish it all
     Back home and outside for a while working on this posting but by 7:30 pm just found it too cold at 56F. So may as well head inside to wrap this up and relax where it is much more comfortable .
     We did have a  wonderful first day of Fall, and great Fish fry for supper, Hope y":all had a great day as well and thanks for stopping on by.

Back to New Hamburg ,and a fish fry with Suzie's Family

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
     Another good nights sleep with heavy rainfall, thunder and lightning (that I did not hear lol) Fantastic fan bringing in some cooler air.
      Got a short walkabout this morning then we secured our coach to get on the road again. Left just before 10 am no rush only going about 90 minutes to Suzie's brothers place in New Hamburg, for a bit. Maybe 2 weeks maybe less.
      Stopped at the Canadian Tire Gas Bar in Stratford to fuel up our coach. Gas Buddy told us the cheapest gas on our route only $1.17.9 a litre compared to most places about $1.29.9 Fueled the coach here just over 200 litres figured we saved about $25,00 on this fillup plus we got $9.20 worth of Canadian tire money. Gotta love it!
       We arrived at Dennis and Sandy's about noon . Got setup and enjoyed a light tasty lunch. Then I whipped into New Hamburg for some hearing aid supplies, the grocery store for some salad stuff to add to our fish fry tonight. The fish I picked up yesterday at the Reserve ion Kettle Point.
we set  up here and Suzie's Dad in in his shop
making frames for the puzzles he loves to do.
        While at the No Frills I spotted these pork loin roasts on sale 30% off , This roast below cost only $6:50 now sure can't turn that deal down. Get a few meal form this. If we had more freezer space would have bought more.
love these pork loin roasts and what a deal
our view from here to the house
       Got our fish thawed out 4 lbs in total 15 wonderful pickerel (walleye) fillets.  Enough for 7 of us.Suzie's brother, sister in law, her Sister Rose and Ross , us and their dad.
think this will be enough 
we do like this tasty light breading enhances the fish flavour.
     I got a couple of fry pans heated with oil and pan fried these fillets, kept warm in the oven until they were all done.
does not take long to cook fish

there ya go we have a feast
       Caesar salad, potato salad, sliced tomatoes and some cheddar cheese.
this was tasty and I think everyone enjoyed it.
We finished it all!
     After supper was done they got the cards out to Play Rook, a mennonite card game similar to Eucher that I have never quite figured out yet. Watched them play for a while. Found it chilly in the bouse with their AC on. So I headed on home to relax outside, a comfortable 80F wrapping up this blog posting with a full tummy.
Suzie and her Dad
this be the game they play
        A bit later Rose and Ross headed home, along with their Dad and Suzie joined me outside for a while before calling it a night.
       Nice to be in a new location again and have fun with the family.
      Glad that you dropped in for a peak and hope y'all had a wonderful day as well.

    We relaxed a bit more outside and were invited to 2 campfires tonight. But heck we are done. too many late nights that were are not used to (must be getting old!) so had to decline. Head inside kick back and call it an early night.
      Thanks for taking the time to catch up with us and if you missed yesterday's posting about our 12 year anniversary of full timing you can read about it at the tab top left of of our blog 12 Years Full-time.
That review is only about our full-time travels, in the 70's and 80's have travelled all across Canada to Vancouver Island northern states and Quebec, Maritime provinces and pretty well all on the New England Staes as well
      Time to call it a night and hop y'all had great day as well.
