Wonderful day a bit of Rain, some motocross, Bill's planes, tasty fish and chips

Where are we today ? 

Durham Ontario

     The rain stopped about 6 pm last night and we enjoyed a very nice warm evening reading outside until about 8:30pm then a good nights sleep.
     Got my first walkabout at 7:30 this morning down the lane and heading east over the hill, a nice change of scenery.
      I have noticed lately that my camera is not taking very sharpe pictures anymore like it used to. Hmmm. Maybe the 8 years and over 1 million photos has something to do with it, not sure, I will change a few settings and see if that makes any difference . Took some photos today with my I-Phone , think they are better. I-Phone pics say so in the caption, tell me what do you think if you notice?

Bull rushes near the end of the laneway

a nice quite walk now heading back to  THE RIDGE

nice country side here

Crab apples on the roadisde

     Back to the ridge and Bill is playing with his large plane, having issues starting the engine, probably because he had not fired it up in over a year he thinks.

hmm think about its some more

    I did a quick trip to Durham to fill our RO water jug and back home for lunch. While I was gone Patsy, was showing Pat, Suzie and Rose how she melts wax and make her fire starters.

    Suzie took a few pics for me, thanks Suzie

     We had an early lunch and I wanted to head up to the Moto Cross facility where grandson number four is this week , only 25 minutes away. Rob and George came along for the ride as well.

   Then we watched a few older riders taking a lot of air on their bikes, these 2 pics are taken with the iPhone

great  jump

       We enjoyed watching these guys for a bit more, and I enjoyed seeing my grandson again and his smiling face, I am sure he is having a ball.
      On the way back we drove though the conservation area to check it out looks like a nice family camping place and they do have a sewage dump station that we will probably use when leaving here.

nice campground back in the bush

     We got back from the Moto Cross fun and Bill still working on his plane, getting closer then shorty afterwards he has it fired up and from here sounds pretty good. But what do I know?

      Then Suzie and I enjoyed our e-readers on a wonderful afternoon in the shade then about 3:30 some drizzle , so we put pour chairs away and headed inside for a while waiting for it to let up.

       Then at 4:30 pm the rain let up and the 8 of us headed into Durham for a fish and chip feast at the Riverside Diner. 

         The rest of my pics were taken with my i-phone

got there just before 5 pm and not too busy yet

reasonably priced

     Supper done and we headed back to the Ridge, except George and Rose out to visit family. Now we enjoyed an ice cream cone thanks to Patsy and Bill, did not need it but was very tasty. Thanks guys.

pralines and cream 

Now about 7:30 we decided it was cooling down and time to head on home kick back and relax for a quiet evening, suited everyone just fine.    

      Another fun day here at the Ridge with friends, more laughs and good food.

       After 2 great  meals out for us 2 days in a row that we enjoyed, think we need to get back on track again. Our usual salads and portion control.

     Thanks for stopping in for a visit always nice to hear from you again.
