R E S T DAY!!
It was nice to get up this morning, although it was only 6:30, and just leisurely do my own thing. There were only 8 of us staying at this church, so basically we had it to ourselves. The kitchen was equipped with food, so we made our own breakfast. We did have access to the computer and I could read my blog I could not post to it, or read any comments as the computer had a "block" on it. I was able to check my home e-mail and delete the 50+ junk mails and I could check Christopher's blog to see where he and Claudine are and how they are enjoying their vacation. I feel negligent that I haven't been in closer contact with my children or my parents....there just isn't enough hours in the day.
As I write this I am sitting outside the laundromat waiting for the wash (3 loads) to be done and then to the dryer. Bob is at the Pentecostal Church where the bikes are and he is going to clean them. I wasn't sure if he was going to church first? I wanted to find an Anglican Church as I felt I needed a touch of home. The singing and praise music with bands is ok, but I miss the comfort of a more regimented and reflective service. I am hoping to get downtown to the boardwalk and have our supper there. I need meat or chicken and potatoes. So far it has been: lasagne 20 times, roast beef 2, chicken 1, burgers the rest...oh how I long for seafood!!
The little Chinese lady at the laundromat is so pleasant and helpful. I have Ed's laundry as well. He joined us in Regina. It is overcast and looks like rain a good possibility. I regret that the group is seperated for the day off. We are back tonight for "choir practice".
I have now finished the laundry and am waiting for Dale to take us back to the Pentecostal church.
It is now a bit later. Bob is still working on the bikes. I found the kitchen and made us a bite to eat. We are going to take a bus downtown later and will take Sidney with us. It will be a treat to see some of this city.

So glad you are getting some rest! Mary and I biked to F'ton and back-yes, and back-yesterday. Through Cambridge Narrows both times. The total distance was only 170 km. every time one of us had seat issues, or was tired, we'd turn to the other and ask how in the hell Jill and Bob did it. Plus, we got to return to our homes after we were done-you guys still have to be billetted, and be polite to a whole lot of people. I was barely civil to the cat once I was done!
Stay well, and keep the rubber side down!
Love,
carole
