Today is cool, 10 deg.c and drizzly.
Catherine and I put the hairy princess into doggie day-care for the day and we went for a day trip up to Gimli. We wanted to look at condos up there and checkout campsites. We went the condo apartments after a nice lunch at the "Lakeside Inn". The condos were all 2 bedrooms with the smallest one at 950 sq ft to 1000 and 1154 sqft. The standard condo at 950 sq ft do not have balconies so that sucks but the larger ones do have balconies and they overlook the lake. They have a large reception room with huge windows all around and a grand piano and a big fireplace...fantastic view of the lake. The condo we saw was 1000 sq ft and was cozy but still nice...I don't know what we would do with all our furniture. We have our name on a list at the condos at Vic Wyatt House but the list is long and it could be a few years wait. Oh well, we just have to keep on looking.
We popped into the main campground at Gimli and found that someone had just vacated a nice campsite so it was up for grabs. We put a deposit on it and next May long week-end we will haul our land-yacht up there and park that baby for the summer. I think we were lucky to get the spot and both Catherine and I are happy about it. Gimli has a lot to offer; besides a big beautiful beach, you can fish or go to a movie...There is a hospital there and restaurants.....And....And....And we have always enjoyed going there. We still plan on going to Nova Scotia next summer but we are not sure as to how that will happen....I guess that we can make it happen anyway we choose.....At any time we like....I like this retirement.
When we returned to the kennel to get Snoozie we could hear her howling in the back and she never stopped howling until we got her out the door.....Poor thing.....'Don't do that again!...Bad Daddy!' She got an 'F' for participation (doesn't play well with other dogs) but and 'A' for yodeling!
Well, tomorrow is another day!....but tonight we are going to watch the video "A Mighty Wind"...should be fun.
