Thursday, September 5th

We’ve had a day of rest......sort of.  The other evening we decided to video call people on messenger. Ian was amazed!  Oh, the technology. So we started with Karen Schick.  Was she surprised?  Yes, she was.  Had a few laughs with her..as always.  Next was my son Cam.  It was good talking to him.  He’s a busy boy these days working on his house.  We spent over an hour with him.  Then on to Craig and Judy.  Caught up on family news with them. Then we tried Georgina, Kathy Cutting, Jason Tycho and David Tycho.  None of them were receiving. David Tycho actually thought he was being hacked so he closed his account, changed passwords and did whatever he thought was necessary so thwart the hackers.  Sorry David.  Did I mention that we were sampling some lovely white wines during this time? So that’s why we had a day of rest.  It was all fun though. One thing that was really good was that we found a huge grocery store just 2 kilometres down the back street from us.  So I think I’ll shop ahead for France just in case I can’t find a grocery store when we arrive.  I also read that most of their stores are closed on Sundays and some even on Mondays.  So groceries and wine will be stockpiled.
Now.....today is Friday the 6th of September.  Happy Birthday to our dear friend Basil!
We are going to take a drive today and explore some of the small villages near to us. Also want to get to see the Black Forest.
P.S.  forgot to mention that the other day we thought it would be nice to go to a beach seeing as how it was a beautiful 27 degrees.  So Ian googled beaches near us.  They were all in France and the nearest one was only 16 kilometres away.  So off we went.  Bummer.......the beach was closed!  But we did find an outlet mall just like they have in the States.  So all was not lost.
