Part 3 - Almost Done


We left Woodstock on Wednesday morning and returned to Carlisle.  Upon arriving at Rodger & Terry 's  (Rodger is Tom's cousin) we discovered that Rodger's sister, also named Terry and her husband Doug R had pulled their AirStream into the yard for a visit.  We got Tara settled right next door to them and got ready to visit. I cleaned out the freezer of chicken and burgers.  Made up some shrimp and garlic bread.  The Terry's had corn and all the fixings to make up a great dinner.

Jennifer and Adam arrived for a visit also.   Jen has been home from Alberta for a month as her dental office is closed for most of the summer.  This is the first time we have seen her since she got back.

On Thursday the boys had some chores to do around the place.  Lots of trees had come down in last weeks storm and they needed to be chopped up.  The Terry's and I drove into Waterdown to do some shopping.  When we returned Tom's Aunt Joyce had arrived.  She is 85 years old and quite a dynamo.  The neighbors came over and we all had a lovely dinner together.  Aunt Joyce headed for home at about 9 pm to get ready to go to her Grandson's cottage in the morning.  She is quite the lady and it was sure nice to see her again.  Doug and Terry packed up and headed off to their home near Stratford.

Friday Tom and Rodger spent some time figuring out how to build a rack on the back of the 5th to hold our kayaks.  Rodger can pretty much build anything I think.  As you can see from the pictures below we do need a rack.  The kayaks currently ride inside the trailer as you can see with Tom and John loading them up  before we left Woodstock.

At least they were comfortable.   Here is Tara parked at The Coulson's Trailer Park...:)
Friday afternoon we headed for home, leaving Tara at Rodger's again.  They have been so awesome letting us keep her at their place this summer.  

Until next time - safe travels.
