After leaving the Truck Stop where we spent the night , we decided to take the Toll road around Toronto because the traffic in "TO" is absolutely nuts and I don't need the hassle. The toll road is by a "charge " only, which mean they will send you a bill at a later date. They do have a sign on the Toll road that says out of province license plates will be also charged.
We arrived at my sister's house ( Pat and Henry ) by early afternoon and the first topic was the condition of my sister in law ( Marg ) who was in the hospital with terminal cancer. Then we were parking our MH at their son's yard so Henry lead us to their place which is acreage outside of the town of Dorchester.
We got the MH setup and finally got our satellite TV working for the 1st time since we started this journey. For some reason I could not find the signal in NS.
We returned to Pat's for supper and to catch up on the family happenings. cheers

Today we were trying to find out the medical condition of my sister in law , however my brother and the 3 kids where spending most of their waking hours at the hospital so I finally contacted the oldest son who gave us the latest condition of his mother. Only my brother and the children where allowed in Marg's room.
As we drove into the town of Dorchester ( Pop 2500 ) we were passing a hair salon and we know the proprietor. The owner is the daughter of someone I went to High School with; so we dropped in to say hello. Carroll and I both needed a hair cut and she had an opening so we got out badly need hair cut and we swapped stories and family happenings. We ask why she had an opening for us and the answer was that the Seniors where out of town on a daily Bus trip. so now you know who her customer are.
Our next errand was to go to Costco to get a GPS. You may recall that we return our GPS to Costco in NS and we feel lost without it. While driving there we received a call from Carroll's brother who lives in Woodstock ( 35000 ) some 40 KM away, inviting us for supper. Free suppers are our strong suite. Unfortunately, Costco does not stock our GPS any longer but it was suggested that it may be available on line.
We have been traveling and living in our MH since we returned from Nfld on the 27 th Sept and you may not think about it but sooner or later the Black water ( which is a nice word for sewer/sewage ) tank fills up. Hence we needed to find a "dump" and most camp sites and Dump Sites are closed by 1 Oct. However, we know that most or at least some Flying J have RV dumps. Therefore we went to the one near Costco in London and it was open and had all the facilities; Sewer dump. water, fuel and propane. We will return to dump her later.
My youngest brother passed away in Feb from a heart attack and I was unable to get home to the funeral so our mission was to visit his wife (Connie ) to give our condolence to her in person. Not only did we have a nice visit but it made me feel better to visit with Connie since I missed the funeral.
We then went to Carroll's brother's home( Lyle and Helen ) in Woodstock and we had great supper and caught up on all the family news and happenings. Cheers
