I'm afraid this wasn't the smashing ending I'd hoped for as we spent 12 hours in the car! We got home about an hour ago. Still, it was a happily uneventful drive and we're back safely without too much traffic or construction.

( five states and one Canadian province that I drove or rode through today: Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia. )

So for those who've followed along, that was my past 7 days in pictures, just not including a lot of family for a variety of reasons. But you hopefully got a sense of where I was and what my days were like!

Sorry I'm a bit late; I was up late last night. Anyway, here's day five, still in Arkell.

( First full day in Arkell, at Piper Hill. )

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! ♥

So here we go!

Tomorrow will include 5 hours in the car, so the excitement level is pretty low. But there may be Thev in a bathing suit, we'll see!
