September 3rd through 7th

September 3 & 4

Another travel day. First across the long beautiful bridge into Canada and through customs with no problems. They even let me take my tomato plant along. Then miles of lovely scenery past lakes and whistle stop towns. We landed in a
funky resort by a lake with beautiful trees. It is pretty rundown with lots of old rigs, and makeshift add ons. Makes me think of the word "trailer trash", but I guess that refers mainly to people. The people here are friendly and nice, lots of families. It’s near Sudbury which is a mining town. So they are down to earth
mine workers.
The park is owned by a couple who run it with their son’s, daughter and son-in-law. They do very special activities at certain times of the year like Christmas in July where they bring Santa in by boat on the lake, Thanksgiving
feast, and Labor Day corn, beef and pork roast. They invited us to join the celebration by bringing a dish for the potluck. We did and what great food.
The owners give out gifts to all the regulars, then they have a dance which lasts well into the night.
Tom was feeling really rotten so we skipped all that including an invitation to a campfire gathering, and a jam session at one of the camp sights. I was tempted, but once in our "home away from home" it is hard to go out again.

September 5

Went to church and no one was there. Turns out their summer schedule is
church at 7:00 in the evening. We did return. There was a small crowd due to Labor Day, but a missionary was the speaker. He works with the Afar people group in Ethiopia. Excellent presentation and miraculous work. So glad we went.

9/6 &7
Travel days. Overnight in PEMBROKE’S Walmart and then shaking, bouncing, jumping down these terrible Canadian roads to St Boniface in Quebec.
The little bugs (like fruit lies) were so bad we left the next day.
