Mon. Apr 9 - drove thru Manitoba & arrived at my high school friends' Jim & Annie Mowrey's house around 5. Annie had to go to Toronto for training for the provincial election, and Jim was left with a casserole & detailed instructions! It was very good, Annie, pasta, beef & lots of cheese, but poor Jim took alot of ribbing for the help he needed there, ha! Lots of talk of old times & retirement, how does this keep coming up??? Vacations, how much $$'s do you need, what to do, etc...it requires many drinks to aid the discussion!! It is about -10 outside, so we sleep inside, after the guys watch the taped end of the Masters Golf & I talked to Annie on the phone from her hotel room.

Tues. April 10 - after a hearty breakfast of juice, toast & coffee, Gerry brings in his iPod & Jim gets us psyched up and set up for the long drive across Ontario with 495 new songs he has ready to go! Wow, thanks Jim, it got us thru the first day safely, arriving at Marathon about 8 (with time change). Many awesome views of the rocks and Lake Superior as we cross the pre-cambrian sheild. Still no moose sightings. The cook is in the kitchen preparing salmon & green beans, and we are starving!!
