Galetta, Ontario

So I made it to Ruth's father's place in the little village of Galetta, just outside of Ottawa.. He sure does have a nice view off the front porch, too bad it isn't warm enough to site out there and watch the world go by!

I picked up the car yesterday. You would never know it had been sitting through the winter for 5 months...turned the key and she fired right away. Only one problem was the rear wheels had locked up. So I had to get the jack out and remove each on of the rear wheels and tap with a hammer on the brake drums to loosen things up. That's all it took though, and then everything was fine. Still, it took me a half an hour out in the cold, and we all know how much I like the cold!

Then, I drove over to the RV dealer I worked at last summer, and said hello to everybody. Part of me will miss working there as I did have fun with them. But a bigger part of me will enjoy exploring Nova Scotia!

Then, I drove for an hour up to Perth, Ontario and said hello to the girls at the lab where I used to pick up blood samples on my courier job. Then, it was off for another hour drive to Ruth's Dads. We did steaks on the BBQ for supper, and had a good visit in the evening.

Today, I'm going to stay here for the day, and then go to one of my best friends to stay in Ottawa for the next few days. I'll visit with my Mom tomorrow, and attend my father's memorial service on Saturday.
