Barb’s Thanksgiving Adventures



We go to Daphne’s place in Pike Lake for Thanksgiving.  We pick up Sarah in Guelph on the way.  Sarah wanted us to bring her some clothes from her room.  We also had to bring Sarah’s snow tires.   

Barb wanted to try out the pickleball in Kitchener.  The best players in Canada play there.  Barb drove down early and stayed with Sarah.  While she was there, she fixed a few things around the house even though the house was lovely.   

First she fixed two toilet seats.  Then Sarah’s roommate was having trouble with the clothes dryer.  It wouldn’t dry her clothes.  The dryer was brand new.  The landlord had just replaced it because the old one didn’t dry clothes either.  Barb figured out that the vent to the outside of the house was clogged with lint.  So there was no air flow.  Barb found a long pole to whack the lint off the vent.  Barb probably saved the Sarah’s house from burning down from a dryer fire.

Barb got lost while driving around Kitchener but she finally found where she was going.  It was a gym with 12 pickleball courts.  She played 5 hours of pickleball with the best player in Canada.  He was definitely good but Barb got a few points and he complimented her some good shots.

The next day Barb had a really sore back.

Barb also drove around Kitchener to look at places for us to live.  She found a nice community in New Hamburg just South of Kitchener.  She gave our her name and email address to a real estate agent and told him to email her if any places in New Hamburg came up for sale.

She did all of this before Thanksgiving started.
