November 15, 2013.

Jorge and I had a relaxing morning, it felt good to only have to walk a few feet for real hot showers with unlimited water and to sleep in a bed that we didn't have to crawl into! Don't get me wrong, we are totally enjoying our trip but do miss a few "normal" things.

We had the use of Jodi's (our daughter) car for the afternoon so did some running around (no doctor's appts yet) but visited the banks, accountant, etc. and saw Steven (our son).

Today was Jodi's birthday, a big one, 30, my baby! I made Chateaubriand for dinner, a favourite of everyone but cheated and bought a birthday cake. Jodi's friend, Chris, joined us for dinner and we had a good time.

Jodi and I did some clothes shopping this morning and then I had a hair appt. It had grown quite a bit since the summer and was getting totally unmanageable!

As we normally did on a weekend, Jorge and I took a drive to HYC to check on the boat. Oops it wasn't there! We saw a few members winterizing their boats and chatted with them for a bit, then visited the clubhouse and the harbour before driving back to Barrie.

Empty cradle!

Yikes, is that ice forming at Diana and Gilbert's slip at HYC?

 

Bill and Lynn (friends, like family, from Parry Sound) arrived late afternoon and we chatted a bit before heading to the Bull and Barrel for the pub night. Jorge and I would like to thank everyone who was able to attend, it was very touching the number of people who showed up. Thank you to those who attended in spirit, it would have been great to see you in person but we understand. It was a busy night and we apologize for not being able to spend more time with everyone on an individual basis, maybe on our next visit.

Thank you everyone present and not for being such wonderful friends!
