    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.

           Another restless sleep  the first 2 hours were good, and the last 3 not bad, It ws the 4 hours in between that had me tossing and turning, up and down , hmm.  But at least I got some sleep.
           19 years ago today, my oldest younger brother Don passed away from Kidney Cancer, (at 38 years old) a day I will never forget, we were so close for many years he was my little buddy back in to 60's, 14 years younger than me. He even lived with Suzie and I back in the 1990s for a while too. This cancer stuff runs in the family my Father passed at 69 years old with lung cancer. Figure I have done pretty good so far and intend beat this terrible disease.
Don and I with my 1956 Ford I was working on

         Shortly after 8:30 am Suzie headed to the bank is  Stratford to get a money order for the Last months rent on our apartment and dropped it off at their office. Our references just need to be checked and we should know.
         She was back home by 9:30 and then at 10:30 headed into Waterloo to my Chiropractor for an adjustment I am badly in need of. Suzie is driving , I am still not much up to that. Right now too far.

   At 1 pm my Brother Chris (18 years younger) and Sister Louise (aka LULU, 4 years younger) and BIL Paul came by for a nice visit , so nice to see them again. long drive for them over 2 hours each way.
