We left George and Hilary on Sunday, after a fun 10 day visit with them. Carl and Myah joined us after a few days from Canada . But it was nice to get back on the road again.

Hilary,Carl and Myah.( hope I spelt it right)

Doing a few repairs on the roof, after 4 hours up there I ached in places I did not know I had.

A sad goodbye to Suzy Q.



Yesterday we drove up to Wauchula to see Suzy and wish her well in her new post at 3 Flags, in Wildwood. Suzy was one of the first of many people at Peace River that made us feel we were so welcome. A game of pickel ball with Suzy is so much fun, I can still hear her saying " O no Jimmy" and "O Bob" and stamping her feet. We also got to meet up with a few old friends, some who still work at the park, and some who were visiting. We will be back, with the RV, in about four weeks time.
Had to go look at the river, Jim had to stop me going in.

Back in USA

We are now back in Florida, and it's HOT. We left Irma, Alberta on Thursday, with very mixed feelings, part of us wanted to stay, but my bones wanted SUN & HEAT.



Our RV was in very good shape, no bugs inside thank goodness......outside was a mess and we spent a day washing her from top to bottom. Jim started her up, as she had been standing in the same spot since April, and she roared in to life first time. We ran the generator too, and all went as it was supposed too. We did have good friends, George & Hilary, looking after her for us. Plus they had a great meal waiting for us when we got back here.

Today we went to the beach at Boco Ratan water was 81f and a slight breeze made for a great day out.
Last night we had a call from Mark & Chris in Ottawa, telling us they will be leaving Canada on October 30th. Drive safe, but get here in double quick time. Looking forward to seeing you both.

Our time in Alberta

We had a wonderful time in Irma, we played some awesome card
games with Richard and Marlus. I think the boys may have won "just the one". I got to visit
the new Wal-Mart in Wainright, had a day shopping with Ruby, Ev and Marlus (and I did not get shoes). Got to visit with Chilli, I think he was glad to see me, or was it the apples I had for him? I would like to think he remembered me.




I got to carve my first pumpkin, and got to see Ruby in her new home. We got to spend Thanksgiving with most of the family, as they rented the Elks Hall for the day so we could all be together and have fun, we had loads of good food and drink, and we got to see a lot of the family we may never have had the time to visit with, in the short time we were there.





Not sure what the girls were laughing about but it may have had something to do with Carrie "cooking"??
