Arrived at Sue and Tom's house in Ballantrae on Saturday afternoon. Sue and Tom,their children, McKenna and Eli, are our friends we met at Triple Diamond Campground. They were our campsite neighbors on Spruce Drive and the the folks that Brian built the deck for.
They have a couple of gentle cats and one furry friend named Riley, a puppy who is a Bernese Mountain Dog. I have never seen a dog like Riley. She lays on her back and spreads her arms like she is flying. We took a chance and put Teddi outside in the backyard with Riley. They were fine together -- no fighting (that's a first for Teddi) but Teddi was not interested in this young pup. Instead she just wanted to sit at the patio door and watch the cats inside.
Tom is a fantastic cook. We ate the most amazing and delicious ribs ever!!! He made these ribs on the smoker that would put Tony Roma's to shame. Then we learned to play Euchre (an Ontario card game) that Brian has been trying to teach me for years. Now that we are all together again and in Ontario, we thought we should at least try to learn it. Then we played our campground favorite "Dice".
We had a few more awesome meals and watched a couple of movies while we were there together. Monday morning rolled around pretty fast and soon it was time for the kids to go to school and Tom had to go to work. Sue is studying for her realtor's license so we had to get a move on. We hate to say goodbye but at least we know we are coming back again when we actually get to move here.
