Relaxing, Fife House and Running with the Rain

We've had a couple of days to slow down and catch our breath. A friend in Milton treated us to an afternoon by the pool, gin and tonic, and some really great ice cream. May 20th was our first day without getting into the truck since April 30th. It felt so good that it was sad to say goodbye, as our pal headed off to work.
We met Peggy's family for lunch before heading to Fife house were we shared the movie - Positive Women Exposing Injustice - with an intimate group. The movie left us sitting in stunned silence, but sparked candid conversation.





 



We left Toronto in the pouring rain - cats, dogs and elephants.  The wipers could not keep up - it was a slow trek to Brockville.  We arrived just before midnight and spent the next day catching up with missed Mother's and Father's Days, and changing the oil in the blue truck with dragonfly wings.
The traffic was heavy, but nothing compared to rush hour in the Big Apple.
The rain ended by morning and a new magic greeted us - St Lawrence tankers in the fog
A happy truck after an oil change and full of Franks
Toast on the River that flows to the Atlantic Coast - more than half way!
