    Well we got a very good pain free sleep last night again but I was still tired, up at 5 am cereal juice and coffee. Can't keep my eyes open so laid down for bit until 9 am. Yesterday must have really tired me out.
    Up and at it soon then into New hamburg for an adjustment on my hearing aide. Stop at Oak  Grove cheese for some of our extra old white cheddar, thrift store looking for a couple things, (no Luck), then to no frills for a couple of grocery items.
      Back home for a light lunch then stretch out on the bed (exhausted again) rested until about 2 pm, all the while Suzie doing some more packing she knows what she wasn't where no much I can do any way, stay outa here way. A woman with a mission. So will she puttered around, I worked on trying to read some blogs, this tires me out and tying to comment takes for ever with all my typos. Typing this blog off and on took me most of the day
      Oh yeah I just thought of this now, yesterday I wanted to put our Brake Buddy in an empty compartment under our slide, don't need it in the car for the winter. Well heck I put it in the compartment and while trying to get up I fell over on my back, like a turtle. LOL.  I could not get up. Even with help of my little stool, here I am laughing, how will I get up? So flopping around like a landed fish out of water, what to do ? Suzie in the house with her sister, my cell phone that I always have in my vest is on the kitchen table. So I flopped and flopped a bit more finally was able to get sitting up and my stool and arms to get me the rest of the way finally. Hmm don't want to do that again.
 A nice walker exactly what I wanted.
 Today Daughter # 2 has a walker that I can borrow for as long as needed from her mother (yes my previous wife) over  29 years ago. That was very nice of them to do that for me, much appreciated.

    Hey another pain free decent nights sleep was good. Up at 3:30 had some cereal and back to bed at 4:15 slept until 7 am. No complaints here. Had the weirdest dreams the last few nights nights. It was myself and Al (Bayfield Bunch) design and build the perfect place to live in this cold winter weather.  Now if that is not funny I don't know what is I designed and built it  and Al did the landscaping. maybe 20-30 years ago not so much anymore.
    Because we were just about completely out of propane, Brother-In-Law Ross volunteered to drive the coach to GO-CO in Stratford to fill us up again. I should not be driving right now with these meds and don't trust myself. This took all of about 45 minutes, now we are comfy and toasty again and not have to worry about running out in the middle of the night very soon. While we did this Suzie went to Staples in Stratford for some file boxes for packing and got a couple of loads on laundry done here as well. Then I set about to clean our Blue Flame heater. And we enjoyed some lunch some ensure for me and a Ham sandwich for Suzie that she made today.
   Then Suzie finished with the laundry, heck I even  miss doing that in the laundry mat as I have done for the last 13 plus years.
    About 2:00 my baby brother and sister arrived to help with some more packing got a few more things moved out of the coach ready to be loaded into the truck on Wednesday. Always nice to see them again they have close to a 3 our drive each way for them. At least they can drive in one vehicle. We had a nice visit and set to work, emptying compartments, storage under the bed enough to pretty well fill another pallet. A good days work went quickly with lotsa hands and by 3:30 they could head on back homes again, boy we sure got a lot done in that short time.
LR: BIL Paul. Brother Chris, Sister Sister Lulu and me on the right 
    We visited with Ross and Rose for a bit. He was making a hole pile of smoked chicken wings 4 couples all together, on their huge Weber for some company they are having tonight.
Suzie was playing with Gus on the porch,
then we went inside to visit for a bit of a visit 
they do have mess of chicken wings 
smoker is smoking and placing them on the the grill to smoke for 2 hours  
these sure are smelling wonderful
First couple arrived Randy and Gail who
we have known for years as well
       
  Came back home heated our propane Oven for the last pizza we have from the Grand Bend Flea market. This one be a meat lovers very thin crust we have only done on our Weber Q before. And turned out wonderful.
This turned out perfect the oven only 12 minutes.
this was all I could eat tonight perfect and leftover pizza is always good
        We had very wonderful productive day and even managed to get some rest in as well.what more can I ask and withe great help for my siblings  sure got a lot done today They brought some gift cards for us Tim Hortons and a Visa gift card felt like Christmas!
        Hope y'all enjoyed a nice day warm than whet we have here  35  F at 7 pm and getting colder. Going down to 30 F but feels like 19 F  sure glad we filled our propane again this morning.
       Thanks for taking the time for a visit as well.

     Hey a pretty good sleep last night again, no pain, slept 2 hours, nature call.
Slept 3 hours nature call,  about another 2-3 hour shift then up at 5 am feels pretty good. Suzie's sister Rose had a nice Duvet that they don't use, too hot for them. We tried it out and very warm but we found it perfect we can now open out bedroom window for fresh air that we are used to for a cool bedroom at night.
     Got some cereal, juice and coffee into me, some computing done, then laid down for a 1/2 hour just because I can. I get tired very quickly. At 8 am Suzie whipped in The Stratford Walmart for a Duvet cover, then to Pettigrews Garage Plattsville to have our winter tires installed and car serviced for 9 am.
winter tires installed and car serviced
as ready as the car can be for the winter
    Shortly after 10 am #1 daughter Kim arrived to help do some packing like she had planned. A few minutes later Suzie got back from Pettigrew's and they set to work. First thing on the agenda they put the cover on the duvet that Suzie picked up this morning, hey. I love the colour and will be so much easier to wash, Then they packed and packed mostly pantry stuff, 6 cupboards 4 large boxes, moving ahead more progress.
      Then shortly after noon Kim went down the road to Tim Hortons, got herself some soup, toasted cinnamon raisin bagel w/cream cheese for me and a chicken wrap for Suzie.
the duvet cover is like one big pillow case
push. pull and shake
love the colors perfect for our new apartment
Kim and I just before she left
so much wonderful help
        We chatted for a bit then she headed back home another 2.5 hour drive for her. Thanks Kim for your help and tasty lunch for us. About 1:30 she left so we both laid down for a 90 minute rest. Re energized again.
       Feeling rested again on a cold rainy day we relaxed, some reading and toasty warm not much more we wanted to do today read for a while then heat up the rest of the shepherds pie Kim made  for us. This sure hit the spot again.
this did the trick along with some Ensure
     That was it for another pain free day, getting more packing done, car serviced and relaxing moving ahead. Supper done wrap up this using relax a bit take my meds and look forward to a pain free good night's sleep.
     Thanks for joins us today only 8 more sleeps and we can move into our new apartment. Then winterize our coach and store it.
