Finally catching up with you again! I noticed from a convo with Dorina that you are home but facing a mountain of laundry and a whole heap of yard work, hope you have managed to catch up :-). Looks like you had a really lovely time with family, spending time with those we love is precious. We would have been seeing Dave's uncle Mike in Gloucester this week but had to cancel due to my health not being quite stable. We have however rescheduled to visit in late October so that is good. I have written a blog post with some interesting news and if you can keep the prayers going they are much appreciated. With love San xx
ReplyDeleteYes, we are back home, I have unpacked and did most of the laundry. Now I am finishing my forms for the school district (I have to hand them in soon). The college will start up in a week. Jonathan will go back to PA soon.
DeleteWe had a great time, visiting Peter's sister and family in Ohio (no pictures), Peter's parents in Indiana, Peter's grandfather in Michigan, and my dear friend Lois in Canada. It was a very exhausting and hot week, but we are so glad we traveled.
I just read your post and noticed that you are moving! What exactly is a bungalow? I only know them as substitute school houses (when the regular school has no room, they put down a bungalow for the surplus children). Is it far from where you live now? All the best with the move and the new surroundings. I will pray for you!
A bungalow is mainly a house with rooms all on one floor, so mine and Dave's bedroom is downstairs and there is also a shower room and toilet across the hall. This bungalow however has what is known as a dormer extension in the roof space which accommodates two good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. I will try and post some pictures of it at some point. Thank you for your prayers they are not only much appreciated but needed! With much love and gratitude for your friendship, love San x
DeleteI see, they would call this a ranch house here. It must be very helpful for Dave to be downstairs! My friend Lois just added a dormer to her house :). Good luck with all the changes!
DeleteThe sunset picture is incredibly beautiful, and I agree that Ikea is a great place to eat with children. The locks look interesting, and since it was so hot, I'm sure anything near the water was welcome and felt very refreshing!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the small house on that peninsula? I would have loved to stay there and see the sun set. The locks are still opened and closed by hand! Nothing has changed. Yes, the water made it feel cooler, although there were tons of mosquitoes out there, eating us alive.
DeleteYes, that would be a lovely place to stay! I can imagine it!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have some things stay the same (in regard to working the locks).

DeleteToller Sonnenuntergang! Ikea und Aldi gibt es wohl wirklich überall. Ontario muss wunderschön sein. Zum Indian Summer wäre ich gerne mal dort.
ReplyDeleteOntario ist sehr schön, ich war schon oft dort. Quebec ist auch ganz toll. Das hat eine sehr interessant Atmosphäre.
DeleteIst das so weil sie französische Kultur haben?
DeleteIst das in Quebec so weil sie eine französische Kultur und Sprache haben?
DeleteJa und weil es der älteste Teil von Kanada ist. Dort stehen tolle alte Steinhäuser.
