July 1 to 4, 2012: Geraldton, Ont.

JUL  1, 2012, Sunday; HAPPY CANADA DAY in Geraldton, Ont.
We had a cloudy and sunny day, warm with a slight wind keeping the mosquitoes away.  Chris & Dorothea and we went to a local hall where we had breakfast, proceeds going to local charity.  Afterwards, we came back home and prepared the food for the family get together that took place at 4 pm.  Everyone showed up except niece Ashley.  Hamburger, hot dog, salads and dessert were on the menu.  Chris even took the kids for a swim and a boat ride then built a fire but Dallas  wasn’t interested in cooking his marshmallow and ate it raw.  We had a great family reunion with lots of laughs and stories.  It petered out by 9:30 pm.


JUL  2, Monday
A warm sunny with cloudy period.  We went to friends in the latter part of the morning and watched home movies of the Walterson’s Val’s family) and their dad who passed away at their early ages.  Afterwards, Chris took for a drive in the country side and to the airport to check out his plane and the new one he’s building (amphibian).  We came home and the all the girls in the family decided to go out for dinner and left us to our demise.  We fooled them, we went out too!  Everyone met back at the house and we told more lies then it was time for an early bedtime.


JUL  3, Tuesday
Cloudy day but the sun did come out eventually and turned pretty hot...30*C; we also had thunder and rain overnight!  I washed the BEAR finally; it took me over 2 hours, what with two weeks of bugs and dirt on it.  Now I feel better!  The girls went into town and so did I later to pick up some beer and a couple of batteries for our alarm clock.  I stopped at Louie and Kathy and said goodbye to Marcel and Audrey as they are leaving early tomorrow for Saskatchewan to their son’ wedding then home in Alberta.  I came home and had a snooze!  After dinner, Marcel and Audrey came over to say their goodbyes and stayed for a few beers.  After they left, we watched TV for a while then it was bedtime


JUL  4, Wednesday, Geraldton
Another very nice day.  We learned this morning that Marcel and Audrey didn’t leave as planned for Saskatchewan but stayed an extra unscheduled day.  Val went for lunch with Dorothea and I went to the grocery store to check out on some sunglasses and bought a pair.  I went to Louie and Kathy and found all four sisters sitting there talking away.  I visited with Louie for a while (Marcel was at a friend trying out whisky) then came home and read and had a snooze.  At 4 pm, Val and Dorothea decided to go for a kayak outing on the lake and I visited with Chris until they got back then we had dinner.  We watched the tube for a while then it was beddy-bye!
