Today was another cloudy day with some rain and some sunny breaks. I managed my walk without getting wet although once it seemed like it was going to rain but I was back in the tent sites and it might have just been the water off the trees.

After breakfast I did the vacuuming, then I cleaned out our filing cabinet (which doubles as our coffee table) and I have a bunch of stuff to burn in the fire pit when it stops raining long enough. I also updated our financial spreadsheet.

We'll have to wait a while - this is what our firepit looks like.

I had settled down to read this afternoon when the sun came out and Gordon suggested we go into Orillia so I could learn where the stores are that I need to go to for groceries. Luckily the major stores are in one area just off the freeway. At Bulk Barn, I got some licorice pipes. I just love them!

After that was done we headed down to the waterfront to find some parks to get some photos.

We took the scenic route back rather than the freeway. There were quite a few picturesque barns on the route.


When we got back we had quite a little thunderstorm and lots of heavy rain.

I have posted before in my blog about Tim and Robyn. Last year Robyn was badly burned in an accident in her home. She passed away this week after a lot of pain and a long fight. Our sympathies are with Tim in his grief. Howard has put up the announcement on the rv-dreams forum. Click here.
