Long drive in the Rain

We're nearly finished the first half of this chaotic interlude in our life, but the move is not all that's been happening!  Our son and daughter-in-law have moved down from distant northern Ontario to a village an hour plus west of us (and thereby been the recipients of several bits of furniture, tools, etc.).  But 10 days ago when our son was coming south with a trailer of more stuff, his car died - as in totally died.  He ended up having it towed to our house, and it was finally towed away to a junkyard today.

So we were on a long rainy drive today to drop off our second car to loan them for awhile.  We've been thinking of doing without for the winter anyway.  This was after taking a final very large load of garbage and recycling to our local dump from the old house.

There were some pretty dark clouds at times, and the rain constantly varied from spitting to heavy, but never actually quit.  It was a cold wind too, only a few degrees above freezing.  These are all just iphone shots.

Lots of wind turbines near the Lake Huron shore.  And tomorrow we'll be off for 7 hours of driving to London and back for an apt. with one of my surgeons.  Then we'll learn more details about what's ahead, and the timing of it all.  Meanwhile here at home, the boxes can just sit and wait!

  2. Please pardon the pun, but it doesn't rain but it pours. Speaking of rain, we had seven inches of rain in the rain gauge this morning after it rained all day yesterday. Hopefully the surgeon doesn't say "Tomorrow morning" as our son's did 18 months ago.

  6. Timing for anything with a surgeon is guaranteed to not fit in with the season, the days out, or even a holiday. I hope the visit goes well, and you know what will be ahead. I am having a silent guess down here, and am so glad you have shifted. Lovely skies, and family living closer, a huge bonus in anyone's life.

  7. Gloomy weather. Looks a bit like what we had here two days ago. This front did some real damage to the Northeast USA. Hoping your surgery is minor and goes well.

  11. How nice that your son is moving closer. Too bad about his car but things happen for a reason!
    Hope for a better driving day today for you and only things at the surgeon appointment.

  13. Best wishes for a good doctor visit. My late father in law had a wonderful cardiology team in London. They fixed him up and sent him on his way. Don't worry, it was something else totally unrelated, like extreme old age, which finally sent him on to his next great adventure!
    Sorry to hear about your sons car. They will do that to us at most inopportune times won't they.

  14. Bless your heart. When it rains, it pours (and for you all on that drive, LITERALLY)....

    Hope you have a good visit with your surgeon... AND --hope you have better weather in which to travel. Hopefully all of this will be over soon and you can settle down and enjoy your new home...

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  15. Oh not good about your son's car but I bet they are thankful to have the use of yours while you don't need it.
