One more sleep

This week has flown by and daily I go through the "list" of things we feel necessary to bring with us on the trip.  The list is almost comlete with checkmarks. 0nTuesday I took Kuan to be shaved. It was quite an ordeal and now at aged 14+ I don't think I will causes added stress with future "groomings". Yesterday  I had to take both she and Buddy to the Vet for some vaccinations. I tried to sneak to the basement for the cat carrier but Kuan must have sensed something was going to happen so conveniently hid under the bed in the spare room. Bob and I took the carrier to the room and Bob crawled half under the bed and  managed to haul her out.  She actually went into the cage quite well.  I went to Diane's to  borrow the second carrier for Buddy and we also got him inside with little fanfare.  Thank God the vet is only 2 km away as Buddy yowled constantly. Then when we get inside the vet he cowered in  the carrier and we had to literally dump him out only to discover he ha relieved himself inside the carrier!! Not the best manners to introduce him to a new vet! Once needles and pill given he raced back iside carrier ...no problem there getting him back inside!!  Then we had  to go through the same routine with Kuan. Both  were quite happy to return home. I bought Kuan one of her favourite mice while leaving the Vetand she has been playing with it ever since. We went to Bev and Peter's for diner.... Surf and turf which was amazing. Bev is better than Martha Stewart, so her meals are always super. I did asparagus, So did contribute a little something. We all had too much wine but did get over to our back yard for campfire later on. It was a beautiful night. I discovered this morning that my daughter in law's father passed away in Montreal. He had suffered a stroke a few weeks ago. My sympathies are with her and her family.  On the cycling note, Geoff called this morning to discuss a meeting place for departure tomorrow. We have decided to connect at the Polish restaurant in Hammond River around 1. The weather for tomorrow is calling for periods of heavy rain!! Not an ideal way to begin our cycling adventure but we can't control the weather, so best learn to make the best of the situation.  We are heading to Bev and Geoff's second home in Poley, outside of Sussex.  One of the cyclists is a musician, Ricky Watters.....and he requested that there be a guitar waiting at the end of the day.  Jam session, bring it on!!!  I know that Geoff and Bev extended a welcome to anyone in the area who wanted to drop by, the one condition that thy wanted to be in bed before midnight, yea right???!!  Like that will happen.
