Sue-Jane, Judi and I went out to Kelly's Landing for dinner - gorgeous spot, right on the Rideau River! Ottawa does have some pretty awesome places!

April 27th to May 31st, 2016

Back to my friend Sue-Jane's house in Ottawa! It's always great to see Sue-Jane and Judi, and to get back to choir and church at Glebe-St. James - I got back in time for two Thursday choir practices and one Saturday practice for the massed choir event at Cityview United - which was awesome. Also great to be back at Judy's for craft day, and back to Scrabble Fridays at the church.
On May 1st, I moved to Hither Hills RV Park, down Bank Street from Sue-Jane's house - I had booked this site in September,  Didn't work out - no wifi there - really, this is a park for people to come to for holidays - definitely not a community - no place for people to congregate. Mainly, though - no wifi!  I do everything online, so that's a deal breaker for me! In the end, I moved back to Sue-Jane's house June 2. Now I'm plugged into her hydro and am parked in her driveway - for me, this is soo the best of both worlds - I get to be with my good friends and still sleep in my own bed and be in my own home!
On May 5th, I took Pat to Almonte where we had lunch, visited  a couple of yarn stores, and walked along the river - gorgeous spot!!
Also starting to deal with the damage done to my RV in Kentucky.  Because of the wonky relationship between my GPS and the road signs, at one stage I had to do a u-turn and ended up turning around in a parking lot, where I hit a post with the back passenger side of my RV, bashing in the two back compartment doors. I've contacted the insurance company, and they sent an appraiser, I have the estimate, and will be getting the repairs done in Chesterville in July.

Monday, I went off to Cheryl's for a visit - always awesome t see Cheryl and Jim - and always peaceful to be on their lovely property. Man, I've known Cheryl since we lived next door to each other on Lisgar Street - when Bobby was 18 months old and she was pregnant with Lydia.  Lots of history there!

Thursday, April 21st to Monday, April 25th, 2016

Off to Toronto to see my kids!  Once again, I stayed at the Indian Line Campgroumnd on the border of Brampton and Mississauga, butr this time I rented a car from Enterprise - a little Fiat - funny little tiny car! Spent Friday getting my laundry caught up, then on Saturday drove to Julia and Leon's house for dinner - lovely, lovely meal cooked by the two of them together - then took Julia to the church for her concert with the Toronto Orpheus Choir.  Fantastic concert - loved the song choices and the calibre of the singing!
Sunday, I drove Julia and Leon to Whitby, where we hung out with Bobby and Kara for a while, then went to East Side Mario's for dinner.  I had a very frustrating time, not being able to hear what was going on - too noisy and my hearing has definitely deteriorated.
Got to spend a bit of time exploring Indian Line - it's actually quite pretty!
