thrihyrne: Portland, OR (Default)
It turns out that I did pack my camera cable, but instead of putting with my other cables in my bag, I put it in the front of my backpack. Didn't think to look there! So here's Friday's pictures from our 6 hour drive to a place outside of Greenville, PA, staying with a longtime family friend and her husband on a lake. Now I'm safely in Arkell, near Guelph, Ontario, and have fallen in love with this sprawling house and grounds and barn and 'bunkhouse' where I'll be sleeping. It's delightfully isolated and some of my sister-in-law's family is here, more coming. It will be a combination of lots of socializing with me getting to go off and write if I wish, and there are loads of places for me to do that. :happy sigh: Oh, and when we stopped for some lunch at Tim Horton's (a Canadian fast food staple with great doughnuts), I saw not one but two cute gingers! I'm so lucky.

And I'm sorry if some of these are appearing ginormous; I've tried resizing them all in Photobucket, and rotating them and stuff like that, but it doesn't always appear to have worked. :(

but here's day three )

I'll post today's pictures later on tonight! ♥

Since I'm in Canada, my phone doesn't work. I mean, it works, but I don't have coverage up here. So for those of you who I usually talk with every other weekend or so, I'm afraid I won't be able to chat until next weekend. Though I think I have plenty of minutes, so I may treat myself to a weekday conversation next week. I'm loving the weather up here, though, and the ambiance of a huge, older house, a barn, and a converted 'bunkhouse' and a sauna and pool and loads of yard space! Yes, you can envy me. ;)

Much of today was on the road, and then lounging around at my sister-in-law's grandparents' place. I feel rather out of place a lot of the time, and am quite content to fade to the background with my knitting while everybody fawns over my brother's baby/one year old. I'm just not a baby person. And this should have been 6 pictures, but one didn't upload, and given how much of a pain in the ass photoshop is being, I thought I'd cut my losses and post five pictures today.

Oh Canada )

I expect I'll do a fair amount of writing and knitting over the next couple of days, though perhaps I can get into town and mail a couple of post cards. And to the Canadians on my flist, glad to be up here! :)
