Moni is a dear! Enjoy!

Glad she crossed that bridge when she came to it. Happy dinner. :)

Give greetings from all of the KT people.

Oh, fun. I hope you really enjoy your evening with her...

Wonderful!

Great!

I'm sure you will all have a lot of fun together.

Can't wait to see pics.

So glad you are having a good time.

Moni is an amazing woman.

How nice for you and for Moni, too!

Sounds like you are having a great time.

How fun for you both. Hope you had a great evening.

What a treat! Glad all is well and wish her a safe trip ALL the way!

A fun time for all and a nice break for Moni!

And here we are:

besides talking a mile a minute I only accomplished finding a rock in my tire, which made noises, that annoyed me for about the last 6 miles yesterday.

Today is a rest day!

Beautiful.

Wonderful photo! Such happiness shines through. Glad you two were able to break bread together and Moni could take a rest with you.

Cottage, that's great taking Moni in and giving her a very much-needed break!!! How wonderful to see you both. The weather is going to be perfect all weekend and early in the week. Have fun!

So lovely! and so very nice to see you.

Glad the rock was found and removed.

(I hate funny noises that I can't find. Last one was my pans rattling when no one was in the kitchen and no breeze or anything either. DH thinks it was a present from the cats. Yes the mouse that got away. Arrrgh)

You ladies try and stay out of trouble! Of course, don't try too hard. :)

:) We've barely drawn a wordless breath in the past couple of days! A breath of fresh air, confidence, and contentment blew into our lives, and wouldn't you know..just wouldn't leave! She's STILL here.. good grief! :) :) Moni's tolerated the so very nosy neighbours who don't have the courtesy to come over and say hello, but instead stand behind the hedge whispering and listening to our gunfire fast, chatty talk, only to be found out by a visiting dog.. goodness I thought I'd wet myself when the dog leaped on the nosy parkers!

We've had such a lovely time, even with poor Moni being nose poked by every dog staying here (she's allergic!), the chaotic weather..hotcoldhotcoldwindyhotmuggy cold.. all in one day! We'll be sad to wave Moni off in the morning as she continues her journey home to her future, her plans, her roommate and paintcans! I hope she continues in good health, happy spirit and keeps her knitting needles close to hand! She's made me a lovely knitted dishcloth that's too nice to use, but will be fondly put to use soon so I can remember the big laughs, the sly comments, and the joy Moni has brought everyone! Look out Ajax..she's on the loose and may be flying into a driveway near you.. hold the door open and let her in! You won't forget or regret it!

For some reason I can't get my pics to load off of PB or my comp but will give it a try again tomorrow.. we didn't take many.. too busy talking and sharing :)

Thanks for letting this nosy kitchen table neighbour read the Moni news. :) . Best to her in her journey and to you and yours. BTW I'm not allergic. Just saying... If you need more visitors. I can't ride a bike though...: ;)

What fun you have had. I would love to meet Moni or other KTers some day.

What a joy that you had such fun together.

Meeting KT folks is a happy time, whether with several present or only two or three.

What's her upcoming itinerary?

Where do I need go to find it?

ole joyful.

The start of a lovely evening above :) Dave and Moni getting to know each other, sharing laughs, and awaiting food! We had the loveliest of times together, and have a deep appreciation for Moni's strength, insights, and "simple is simple" approach to life and travel.

Ole joyfulguy.. I haven't the faintest idea of Moni's agenda in the coming days, other than she left here this morning around 7:20, bound for a 5-6 hr ride to her next "Warm Showers" home stay, and was then off to ride the Toronto Waterfront Trail or some such. I don't know if Moni knows one minute to the next what her day is going to hold.. but she'll check on this thread over the course of travels I'm sure, and let us all know how she's getting on! You can always check with her blog too and message her there! I'll see if I can post a link to her latest post on her blog here: Moni's Blog

Yeonassky, you're more than welcome.. we're a whole lot laid back, pet friendly, wicked senses of humour, have amazingly alert and interested neighbours (note that I say interest ed not ing!!) and don't do 5am anythings!

Who'd have thought that on this bike is a home, a heart, and a love of life so big that she outshone the rising sun! Glad to have shared some time with you Moni, even if it wasn't at 5am as you strolled to the beach to see the sunrise! I hope the rest of Ontario AND your trip treat you well! Eat girl EAT! You must be starved! The nosy neighbours are missing you! They keep peeping over their railings to see if they can hear that voice of yours! Travel safely friend!

Loved this thread and the pictures Thank You.

Moni I assume you need to eat more when your biking than when your not is this true?

Oh, my, I just about eat non stop to have the endurance to keep cycling!

That's what I thought Moni.

I'm quite in awe of how you are able to have the endurance to cycle I couldn't make in down the block. Lol...stay safe.
