     Wow so nice to be back in our home again, and our own bed. Sleep well? Heck yes we sure did.
     After this morning coffees etc,, I ran (ok I drove the car) to the store for a few food supplies. Then we finished repacking the coach.
a wonderful sunrise here through the trees
      At the No frills this morning this car pulled in beside me, a Bricklin with the gull wing doors. Such a treat to actually see one driving on the road very limited production back in 1974-75 , it's been a few years since I have seen one of these classics.
so nice to actually see one on the road 
     Our coach was all secured then on the road just before 11 am only about and hour's drive on some wonderful back country roads. To visit with our good friends Chris and Bill. Tomorrow they are getting married, Yahoo ! Christine and Suzie have been friends for well over 40 years, when they lived on the farms across the road from each other.
love these back roads
      Got here about noon all parked and set up. Enjoyed a light tasty lunch. Then chatted with Chris and Bill, and their daughter Becky with her new cute puppy Oscar.  Checked out their huge garden and walked about the property for a bit. Nice to see them again.
a nice parking spot here
their deck is nicely finished since last year,
with steps and a railing
Becky and Oscar
tasty fresh strawberries right from their garden
and a huge garden they have
       Even a have a few chickens here for fresh eggs.
         Just puttered around for a while checking things out set up our Weber Q whipped up a salad , prepped some fresh asparagus hat Bill had.  Then prepared this wonderful pork loin roast with a with rub and set on our Weber to grill, low and slow until done to perfection. When almost done added the asparagus. for a few minutes to nicely warm it as well.
a nice large pork loin I got on sale yesterday $1:44 a lb
all done to perfection
       While I was cooking Suzie started with a few doggie fixes with Chris's Pugs and Schnauzers .
     The time to eats so we got to enjoy this tasty lean pork loin asparagus and a salad.
I gotta have applesauce with roast pork
then desert fresh strawberries right from the
garden to wrap up a tasty meal
      Now a couple more doggies fixes for Suzie with Becky's puppy Oscar on the lawn.
he is a playful puppy
Suzie and Chris catching up again
73 kms (45 Miles)
     We had a very nice day, wonderful to be back in our coach once again and back on the road, new countryside and visiting with friends.
     Thanks for joining us in our travels and hope you enjoy some amazing weather just like we did.

       Just a great night's sleep again as usual and up early before 6 am watching the sunrise. After a bit of coffee and some computing got a busy walkabout the yard checking out all the wonderful flowers they have here.
              The gardens and flowers here are doing wonderful.
        Chatted with Chris and Bill for a while then raided the raspberry patch, Still early in the season but did manage to grab a few berries for snacks.
nice fresh raspberrries
        Then a walkabout back into the bush for a bit so peaceful and relaxing here.
         After a nice light lunch we hopped in the car to go check out Port Dover, again been close to 20 years since we have been here and slow close now only 15 minutes away. Not much has changed still a nice touristy spot with beach and nice restaurants. Plus we have some good friends that moved here a few years ago and would like to catch up with them again.
down by the beach,, cold and windy but still people
here in the water
      We have been to this area many years ago and had lotsa fun enjoying the beaches and great food. Today just a tour too find out not much has changed at all.
too cold for us
very cloudy and windy soon gonna rain
good take out food here
     From here up over the bridge to visit rv friends we have not seen for a very long time Bob and Jody met the over 12 years ago at Galvin Bay resort in Ontario and few times in our Travels. Think the last time was in Wapakinta Ohio in 2008 when they we about to sell their class A coach after 10 years full-time And settle down for a bit. We did once visit them in Texas many years ago as well.
      So nice to catch up with these guys always a fun time with them. Only there 2 hours and felt like 5 minutes, but they had a previous engagement so time for us to head on out. We will make a point of coming back again to see these guys.
LR Bob , Suzie Me, Jody
          As we were leaving their place driving through town I spotted this grey chevy pick up truck with green canoe on top. Made a quick right turn into this restaurant, I said to Suzie looks like Emile and Monquie's truck, so we check out the restaurant and sure enough out was them, with all of her family for a great get together for a wonderful family fish dinner. We had just spent a couple of weeks with them recently at Rock Glen resort and did not expect to see them until next winter sometime, Now is this not a small world or what?        
          Back home to Chris and Bill's for Happy Hour, chat with them for a bit then they whipped up supper for us tonight. Grilled boneless chicken breasts, macaroni salad  and more wonderful fresh asparagus.
not long on their BBQ
oh so tasty, good friends and good food
a perfect combination 
           After supper we chatted for a bit then Suzie and Chris chatted for quite a bit more, They have been close friends since they were teenagers and as usually could have and did chat for hours over the weekend.
           Eventually time to call it a night we parted ways and each to our own homes, We will see them in the morning before we leave, securing our coach and heading back on down the road again. Hope to get back here again for another good visit this year.
           Not a bad day at all fun times with good friends and the weather not too bad, a bit of cloud cover and a few rain showers, we can handle that no problem at all.
          Thanks for dropping by again and I just know y'all had a great day as well.
