Happy May 1st. Here we are near Flint Michigan. Yesterday was pretty exciting. We finished emptying and cleaning the house and took piles of garbage and recyclables to the top of the driveway. Good thing it was garbage day! Then we went to get a new tire for the truck. They had ordered the wrong one on Saturday and then told us on Monday that it would take until Friday to get the right tire! We prevailed, paid more money and they had a new tire for us and installed it on Tuesday morning. We picked up our health summaries from Dr. El Khouley and wandered over to get hair cuts. Still no call from the lawyers office. Finally heard from Real Estate Agent (Leslie Price) and from new owner and from lawyers office to say that the purchasers had had a snag at their bank. Head office had not sent a letter to branch office to release the funds.... Finally at about 5:00 we got the call from the lawyer, the deal was done! Yahooo. Money now in bank and Barb and Laurie jumped in truck and headed to Leisure time - a campsite on Highway 9. Then we drove over to Orangeville, had dinner at Kelseys thanks to some generous people. Back to our campsite and we both had a realllllly good sleep. Today we drove through Sarnia to Flint, Michigan and here we are at a KOA. Saw 5 dead deer on roadside, border crossing uneventful, Barb survived driving 437 kilometers in 5 hours -beautiful weather (hot in fact), lots of traffic leaving Toronto but no problems. So far so good! PS - having issues with pictures. Cell phones not liking US systems.
