Still goin'

Yes, it has been a while, however there was a valid reason for our silence, read on. We came back into Canada September 14th and spent one night in Goderich before driving to Owen Sound, staying in Harrison Park while I paid a visit to the skin specialist to get a rash on my leg looked at. After check-out, it was a trip up the Bruce, to spend several days with friends ( Mr. & Mrs A) in Barrow Bay. Leaving their home on the 20th, we came "home" to Shelburne staying at Primrose Park for two weeks. That was a strange feeling to be in town, but not at our own house. A big "thank you "is in order for the friends that visited us and we invited us to visit and those that fed us. A visit to Brampton, to have a pleasant visit with daughter Kristine and her family was great. Now the reason for the silence......a Model A Tour was planned for a drive to Stratford. We committed to go on this with the President and Tour Directors some time ago and booked a room at the Swan Motel. We were trying to keep partition in this as a surprise, however, a club member is having an auction sale of his car collection and related parts and we decided to offer our assistance....secret exposed!!!!. The tour took place this weekend, leaving Mono Mills on Friday Oct 1 and returning to day the 3rd. The colours were just right on the trees and the roads co-operated as well. It should be explained that Sue and I drove our "modern iron" as our car is on blocks. The visits to various points of interest, including the Kilbride Castle in Baden coming home was very neat, as was the tour of the past presidents uncles' former gravel operation and the collection of Model "A's" there. Having been involved in some tour planning in the past, we certainly can appreciate the work Glenn and Mo put into this tour. I'm certain all attendees enjoyed themselves in spite of the rain on Saturday. We leave Shelburne tomorrow ( Monday) for Kingston and Thanksgiving with my family.
