Tuesday Evening

We arrived at Ed’s daughter’s Sunday evening and have been visiting here since with her, her husband and their three children. Tomorrow morning we all head into Thunder Bay for breakfast in Finnish town after which they will shop for goceries for their weekend camping trip and we will head toward Sault Ste. Marie, stopping near there tomorrow night before going the rest of the way home Thursday.

Today has been alternately sunny and raining with s a steady wind but has cleared up this evening so I hope we can look forward to fair weather. It will be increasingly difficult for me to be patient  the rest of the way as we near home. I know myself.

Supper tonight was a birthday party for Ed whose birthday is September 1. He got lots of baked and preserved goodies as well as Finnish coffee so our pantry is beginning to be restocked.

Ed says we could visit Edna and then hit the Listowel sale on the way home Monday but I am broke and know I am too much done in for further travel. We found a couple of yarn stores and two or three fabreic stores listed in Thunder Bay. The big fabric store I remember from my very first visit here is gone now. I doubt I will visit any of them. A fuel stop and one at a bank and we are on our way as early as reasonably possible after a pleasant breakfast. We wouldn’t be lingering long in any case with the children aged five, almost three and nine months!

I am so anxious to see our furries and Barney will be so glad to be home!
