We seem to have fallen into a pattern; we get up early one day and sleep in the next. Today we finally got up at 8:38. About 2 hours earlier Melodee got up and went out with Lena so she could do her business. Lena never went back to sleep, but she was quiet. I made a fruit smoothie with peaches and blueberries and we actually got on the road within an hour including feeding the dogs, walking them and do the dump station shuffle. First stop was a fruit stand picking up fresh corn and blueberries. Before we paid the proprietor mentioned she had periogies made by the local Ukranian women. Sold. As we were putting away our goods, she came out to the camper to show us a fancy garlic vinagarette dress that doubles as a bread dip. Sold. We still needed to stop at the local supermarket in Penatang. Had 4 items on our list, left with a dozen items, all essential.
Today is a driving day. I estimated the total drive at 2:15. It only took us 5 hours so we are pretty much on schedule. The mandatory stop was Wasaga Beach PP. This is the longest freshwater beach in the world, 30 km. We spent a leisurely 2 hours sunning, swimming (me only), walking the beach, reading, and working the soduku in the Toronto Star, but all good things must end so we got back in the truck and drove on to Owen Sound, site of the Summerfest Music Festival. We talked to the gate people to get a feel for the festival and it feels real good. Came back to the camper to feed the puppies and we'll settle in for a few hours of folk music. Life is good.
