I am on my way finally. Friday we will stay overnite in Detroit and leave from there - if you stay one nite you can park your car for a week so that's what we will do. Anything to save a buck. On Saturday we are off & flying. We get there early enough that we can get a couple of hours on the beach - ahhhhh - I can feel that sun already.
I've got my camera packed so I will share my vacation with you when I get back.

All Shopped Out Again
Waited 1 1/2 hours at the dealership for a part to be installed that ultimately didn't do a thing for the shimmy in the car. The mechanic obviously didn't take it out for a test drive. We can't take the car back now for a couple of weeks - after hunting season.
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING 2 CM OF SNOW TONITE!!!!
Got the rest of the shopping done - the boys will not starve.
We installed the new towel rack in the upstairs bathroom - looks great. It is a hotel towel rack, chrome, and holds the bath mat on the bottom and towels on the top. The old wood one was badly bowed and looked like - you know. I got a matching one for the hand towel on the other wall. They will go good with the new shower we bought at Costco when we were down in September. We have all the stuff we need for the new bathroom to get started - the plumbing etc. After everything dies down here and the hunters are gone and I am back from Florida we get started on the new bathroom and workout room - I want it finished by tourist season next year. I actually want to be in the new workout room this winter. I just have to get crackin' on the pine - lots of boards to sand and varathane. I'll just put my tunes on and let it rip.
My fox was here this evening - the female. She buried a piece 0f meat right in the middle of the
front driveway - that trap rock must have hurt her nose when she covered it up - they use their paws to dig the hole then they push the dirt back with their noses - funny to watch. The trap rock is sharp on dogs feet - Sadie always goes home with sore paws.
Another fire in the wood stove this evening - it is routine now - a fire in the morning then another one at about four in the afternoon that lasts until evening - keeps the place toasty.

All Shopped Out
Another successful shopping extravaganza with Rejean in tow or should that be me in tow. We were out for supplies for the new bathroom and he was a man with a mission. He had his lists and flyers and measurements and his tape measure - real men don't leave home without them. First it was Canadian Tire where we speed shopped for oil for my car, looked at wood stoves and shower fixtures, taps and tile. We did buy eventually a shower fixture and a towel rack for the upstairs bathroom. I also got some new hunting gloves - they didn't have women's sizes so I had to get a man's large but they are mittens and they have a pocket for the hand warmers so they were a good find. Then on to Soo Mills that is like Home Depot only smaller - we saw our wood stove there. A Drolet Adarondak - smaller and on sale. Sold! We also got a black stone vanity with a white sink in it - 31" with a four inch centre for the taps which we also got. Nice ones. There are two handles with a higher arched facet. We also got the shower attachment that slides the hand held shower head higher or lower. With an extremely tall brother in law - Mitch - we need the extra height. We did squeeze in lunch at Wendy's for some much needed energy. I love their chili!!! I also have decided that my shower will have white 12" or 16" white tiles with a black border of some kind with black grout!!! I saw a picture and it looks really neat. But....I may change my mind - that is my perogative. I have my Visa card on ice.
We have to go back to the Sault tomorrow (Tuesday) because they had to order a part for Rejean's truck. I feel another shopping day coming on - this time for food for the hunters arriving on Friday - Ed just called to see if Rejean likes Chicken Fajitas - these guys cook for themselves - soups, stews, lasagna - you name it. I hope he makes the fajitas when I get home.
Also bought lots of bird seed and dog cookies for the foxes - they just love them.
My Florida trip is coming up fast - the end of this week!!! Can't wait for Thursday - the real start to my little vacation.
