It was good news that we didn't need the black clothes we had packed. But now our temporary medical insurance is running out, and it's time to go back to Canada. The time seems to have gone so fast. We have been visiting family and helping out where we could. And eating way too much. One of our favourite desserts from the Philippines is called "halo-halo". It means "mix, mix" and consists of shaved ice layered with sweet jellies and beans and fruits, all topped with ice cream.
We found a place nearby that sells an amazing one and we've been back most days this last week. The weather has been warm and sunny enough to make the cold treat delightful. I don't know what the weather is like anywhere else right now, but it's still summer in New Jersey.
We also made friends with the family dog. A young black lab with a unique spotted tongue. He kept us from gaining too much weight with the daily walks we gave him. And going with my niece to Zhumba helped with that, too!
So now it's back to the regularly scheduled program, folks. A little bit of time with each of the girls, appointments to be made (and kept this time), and preparing the trailer - and us - for the next phase of our journey: south to New Orleans before the weather gets too wintery.
