Two customers at a Tim Horton’s drive-thru near Sarnia, Ont., took more from the pickup window than they were supposed to. Police said two men pulled up to the Bright's Grove coffee shop window around 4:40 a.m. Tuesday. They said one man then crawled through the drive-thru window. A second man held his feet so he wouldn't fall into the restaurant. Police said the first man then used a knife to cut the cables on the back of the cash register and pulled it back into the car before the vehicle pulled away from the drive-thru.
We are now in Sarnia but it IT WASN'T US!!! HONEST! We drove around the area and went to a house on Lakeshore Road, which was listed for sale. We noticed an "open house" sign just down the road so we pulled up to that house and realized we would be 2 days early as it was advertised for Sunday. Just about the time we were walking back to our motorhome, the owner drove up and got out of his car. He came over to meet us and started chatting -- a very friendly guy named Phil. Come to find out he use to live in Calgary but also use to live in Sarnia and moved back here a few years ago. He was very familiar with all the South-western part of Ontario. He told us about Sarnia from a more positive perspective. Then he offered to show us around his house. He was moving to Vancouver now because of his job. Anyway, it was funny, how it all worked out. He took us around this beautiful house and we were very impressed but knew it was way out of our league and we were right, it was way beyond our budget.
Phil was very helpful and very trusting to show two complete strangers inside his house, especially after the Tim Horton's robbery a few days ago. LOL Phil told us how to get to the nearby Centennial Park that has public beach access to Lake Huron. (Everyone we meet says they would never swim in Lake Erie because it is so dirty but that Lake Huron is great!) We told Phil that we were planning to stay at the Lakewood Christian Campground on the edge of town. He confirmed that it was a good place to stay so we drove outside of town to view an acreage for sale then we headed over to the campground.
As soon as we arrived we notice how clean and organized it was for a set up of 300 seasonal campers plus a lot more for overnighters. We set up for the evening and then rode our bikes around with Teddi running along beside us AND trying to chase squirrels! Teddi is about 70 years old in dog years so by the time she got home and ate her dinner, the poor girl just dropped onto her bed by the campfire and didn't move until we went in for the night. She loved every minute of it.
Well that’s it for the evening. Tomorrow it is suppose to rain all day and we are pulling out. We’re going back to Michigan tomorrow to see the kids for another four days.
