DAY 3 and DAY 4: WOULD YOU BELIEVE...?

TWO cars ran a red light at a four way intersection, one going south and the other north? The northbound car swerved around us on our right, at high speed and THEN swerved AGAIN to avoid colliding with the southbound car which was turning left.

 I am sure that all the occupants of the other eight cars at that intersection, GASPED collectively.  I know Linda and I did. It happened SO fast. The northbound car, at the speed he was going, would have rear ended us, as Linda had just slowed to a stop as the light turned red. Linda's first words? "OMG, we would have had to be first responders to that mess!"

Weigh stations for truck axels look like cemeteries without the grass?

You can visit a former neighbour from 23 years ago, and be treated like royalty... and it doesn't matter that you are no longer young, married mothers, but two separated/divorced boomers in your sixties?  The years slip away and you happily pick up where you left off.

The great generosity of some people? Take an old friend whom I have known for over fifty years, for example.   He is undergoing chemo and has an ingrown toenail that requires surgery the next day, but he still finds time to take you and your friend on a long, Cook's tour of his town.  At a famous local farmer's market, he treats you to lunch and snacks, even buys your friend a hat, and plies you with small gifts before you leave? His generosity knew no bounds.

A third visit for tea, as only an Englishwoman can brew it, along with homemade cookies, with a former colleague of thirty-five years ago... where her soon-to-be husband has exactly the SAME name as Linda's father- Richard Kelly? Both their dogs... named Daisy. :)

On busy and congested highways in southern Ontario, in construction season no less, AND during the work week, we have yet to come upon standstill traffic?

We will have traveled 1650 km from Lac Légaré, upon reaching our destination in two hours... Windsor, Ontario.

Thelma and Louise will have arrived!!!
