Drivin' on down the road

 We took off for a craft show nearby! It looked like a great day for it. A little chilly, but sunny. 

This is the reality of rural life. Isn't it a huge vehicle?! The people driving behind us were a bit miffed that they couldn't drive 20km over the speed limit. With all the oncoming traffic we had to go 20 km under it. 

Rural living!



The parking lot was full, and we parked on the highway. Thank goodness for wide shoulders. Admission was a toonie ($2) that went to the women's shelter. We donate monthly, but there you go. 

It is a lovely location on the water. We browsed the booths, and Joe bought some jam. I was looking for Christmas/birthday presents, but didn't see anything suitable. Still, a nice trip out.
Joe wanted a hot dog, but they were ready to serve. We went home for lunch.








As we left, the geese flew over in formation. I got rid of some of the hydro lines with iPhoto. 

The sumacs are looking magnificent.




I was happy to get home. A lovely day. We didn't buy much. I was finding it hard to find something for presents. I couldn't concentrate. 

🚪 The beauty of the day was marred by two Jehovah's Witness (?) who came to the door. The 100m private driveway and gate doesn't dissuade them. They come by once in a while to preach to the infidels, Oct. 2025, March 2025. This dude tried to engage Joe Brian in a philosophical discussion, "Do you want to live forever?" JB said he didn't want to have a discussion at the door, kindly asked them to leave.  I just don't engage in conversation. 

I wasn't feeling 100% well and had put my feet up. I am glad I wasn't here alone. Two men at the door? No way. As I heard the discussion, I thought to myself, "Give me your home address, and I'll bother you at your house." I just don't now how they think this is OK. I want to find out where they came from, and tell them not to visit anymore. The arrogance. 

🛫 This is a new phenomena: preaching on airplanes:
An evangelist was removed from a United Airlines flight after ... 
Rant over!
