Pheebs & I were in the Jeep by 10 & headed for Goderich. Nothing special, we just needed an excuse to get out, & a stop at Walmart gave us that excuse. 1 jug of Cranberry Juice & 1 jug of Ginger Ale. From there it was over to McDonald’s where we spilt 1 Burrito. Minutes later we were out into the countryside again taking the long way home.
THE LONG WAY HOME
Had a trailer load of brush for the Park’s recycle area & spent the rest of the afternoon working away on my backyard project. Another small Poplar tree down as I continue pulling apart our yard & re-doing it. Getting a lot of foliage clutter out of the way & opening the yard up to more sunshine. Don’t know how long my renewed gardening interest will last so I am ‘striking while the iron is hot’ so to speak.
As enjoyable as it is traveling with pets, there can be difficult times if & when our best Pals are in any kind of medical stress. Ideas have to be discussed & decisions made. It is a time when a couple has to count on each other for help & support in making decisions for the well being of their pets. But, what about RV folks traveling alone with their Pals. One of RV Sue's 2 terriers, Bridget, has been diagnosed with a Cranial cruciate ligament tear leaving her unable to use one of her rear legs. Surgery may be required. A difficult time for solo traveler RV SUE & HER CANINE CREW.
PHEEBS & I SURE DO LIKE OUR COUNTRY ROAD DRIVES
Not a long post tonight. For some unknown reason my leg pains kicked back into gear with a vengeance this afternoon & have me hobbling around. So much so that I couldn’t take Pheebs for her afternoon or evening walks. Think I will just veg out in my recliner tonight. I’m suspecting it may be the damper cool weather causing my arthritis to flare up. Will be glad to get down to the warm dry desert air of Arizona. Both Kelly & I always notice a healthier difference between an Ontario winter & a South-west winter. Just another one of the many, many, reasons to head south…………….if you can.

ReplyDeleteLOL, too apropos!
Sure hope you legs feel better when you get to AZ. No fun to be in pain and hobbling around.
ReplyDeleteThat Groaner may have more truth than we want.
ReplyDeleteI get the same relief when I travel to Tucson. Perhaps I should have bought a house there. I heard today, that two of my old coworkers have moved to the Tucson area. We are getting that nervous, what are we forgetting feeling as the days wind down. I do hope to shake your hand this winter.
Yes I too am beginning to feel the aches and pains of the cool damp weather. Soon we will be on the road heading south then west and all well be good once again.
ReplyDeleteAgree about that Southwest drier air...Lately, my allergies AND good ol' "Arthur" have appeared..I know for a fact my feet are pretty painful. That fall I took last year down our Hiker steps is now showing up..Let's just get in your motorhome and "get the Hell outa Dodge"..
