Slept thru until around 8. Mark had our ceiling fan running, but I got cold, so he turned it off. Joined Chris for breakfast. Robert went biking with his group early this morning. We went for a very long early walk. Decided to check out the haunted house on Center Street. It was boarded up but I was able to climb up the front stairs and touch the front door. It's supposed to have been empty for over 60 years. I did get some interesting visions. Much later, we did some research in Chris' Niagara-on-the-Lake book, plus she had a newspaper article with information. Some of what I saw was documented. Most interesting. We walked all the way to the library and around back home. It was overcast when we left, but the sun came out and we were all sweating when we got back. We all took showers. Robert returned from his biking just before lunch. Enjoyed a lovely lunch, eating out in the screened in porch. We got some rain but it didn't last very long. More rain was predicted. I started going thru my big suitcase to downsize for our upcoming visits with family and friends. Mark did more research on our Jeep registration papers. They finally told him that they won't send the documents to Canada. Not sure what we have to do to get our vehicle registered. Mark and I decided to visit my sister, Vicki, and her family. We drove a different set of roads. Enjoyed our short visit. Then it started raining pretty hard. We got wet getting back into our Jeep. The drive back was very rainy. We stopped off at a local fitness shop as I needed an updated phone number for a friend. We arrived back just in time for dinner. We have been eating very well. It continued to rain hard for most of the evening. The temperature had plummeted here. I was feeling a little cold. Mark put on a short slide show on our sailing adventure from Florida to Hawaii. He has a little ways to go in selecting more. We just started watching the movie, The Great Hack. Thanks for the many emails and messages. Enjoy your day!

About:
We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
