Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
         So quiet here and we both enjoyed a very good sleep once again. Our morning coffees and computing done, the view out our dining room window is so relaxing. No close neighbours just a few houses in the distance, acres of green grass and the bushes across the road behind us.
the morning view out our dining room window
love it  !
   Took  couple of pictures of some nice older homes here in town. Watching  them being fixed up over the last 30 plus years.
in 1982 this was the haunted house hidden in the bush
now a beautiful home
they added a nice porch here a few years ago
this place is amazing inside used to clean it
back in 80's
      Then back down river road to home. so quiet here , just hear the doves and a few birds.
            Just after 7 am I took a nice walkabout around a few blocks here in Plattsville temperature 52F  (11C) no wind and overcast, first mile in  (2.5 miles today done), then a nice country drive to New Hamburg (while it was raining) 10 minutes away for a few needed supplies then back home to putter around in the yard for a while cleaning up some branches small tree limbs. Then I walked back to check out the lawn mower. Battery dead so got the charger from John and hooked it up, maybe get it going and mow some lawn in the next few days if it dries up a bit more. Now a comfortable 62F (16C) no rain and still overcast.
Grain elevators on the way to New Hamburg 
        Then at 1 pm we headed into Glendinning Funeral home in town for the celebration of Life for  Marc's Mother (Lety).  We have met her a many times over the years, what a wonderful lady she was. We have known Marc for over 30 years, (our daughters figure skated together) we were in the Local Optimist club here and I worked with him at Egar Tool and die for 6 years driving lift truck. and the last couple of years was the health and safety co-ordiantor, wrote up policies and procedures for Workers Compensation to pass an audit, and did lift truck, crane, as well as whims training. Before we went full-time back in 2006. The Celebration of life for Marc's mother was well attended, and like usual at these functions we ran into quite few friends we have not seen for many years. Sad that we have to meet like this but always nice to see these people again.
   Back home here to Camp Awesome we enjoy a comfortable afternoon reading outside still 62 F and no wind, although a bit of sunshine here and there. Nice to be able to enjoy this fresh country air., and quiet country setting.We enjoyed a quiet Happy hour then soon time to whip up supper.
this was huge willow tree behind us
that came down last year.
        Our wonderful  warm  afternoon reading outside . This is the view we have to deal with, yup  we can handle this for sure.
        Supper tonight I will grill a couple of bone in chicken breasts on our Weber Q to go with our salad.
about 40 minutes done to perfection
added to our salad and some hot sauce for me
we had a good feed
      Now supper done, dishes done we can enjoy some more warm outside weather here it is after 7 pm finishing this posting and going to read a bit more. just because we can.
     Again no visible sunset but heck it sure was a great day to play outside.
     Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed your spring day as well wherever you are.
