August 21 to 27, 2011; End of summer

AUG 21, Sunday,
I went to work for 3 hours this morning as they were short one worker and 124 campers were leaving. In the afternoon, we went to Salmon Arm for the mail and groceries than home and Happy Hour at Gail & Bob. Dinner was lasagne then Val went for a walk with Tucker and Donna while I did the dishes.


AUG 22, Monday
We went to Kamloops to Costco for some meat and bread then stopped at Walmart and Super Store as Val was looking for “colour free sheets” for the laundry but to no avail. We also stopped at a store call “Princess Auto”, a paradise for men!!! Everything you can think of was there on the shelves; I will definitely be back. It was a cloudy day with sporadic rain. When we left Kamloops it was 24*C and it went down to 15* by the time we got back to Lee Creek.


AUG 23, Tuesday
Back to work for me, Val did the laundry and worked in her garden. It was sunny and warm all day. Happy hour was at our place with Gail & Bob. Called grand-daughter Vanessa to wish her and her husband Garrette (who was still at work) a Happy FIRST Anniversary! We chatted a good 15-20 minutes before saying bye. It was really nice talking to her! They went to Whistler for their Anniversary.


AUG 24, Wednesday, sunny and warm
Well, I was the hero again today. A kid was lost/missing so, of course, we are all put on alert and have to patrol the Park until he/she is found. This 5 year old decided to go explore the trails in the Park with friends. His mom was very happy to see him and grateful we found him. He got grounded to say the least. Otherwise, it was a quiet day and once home, it was a quiet evening with the A/C on as it is still very warm outside.


AUG 25, Thursday,
Another hot day! We both went to work and Val ended up doing cashier work. I worked all day on the tractor cutting lawn in various places and fields; there is a LOT to cut, took me 6 hours to do it all and that is with a 15 minutes break and lunch (half hour). Back home, the A/C is on again until it cools off later in the evening.


AUG 26, Friday
After work, Dan came over for a drink then Donna & Marcel. Bob & Gail joined us too and then Ron & Theresa arrived from the coast and came over. Fun was had by all and dinner was delicious.


AUG 27, Saturday
Last day at work before my week-end and 5 more days to go before the end of the season. We went to Herb and Mary’s place as it was his party. Pretty well the whole neighbourhood showed up. They live in a two bedroom Park Model with a huge deck. It was a warm evening and George played music and sang us to dancing. It was a lot of fun and the food was absolutely fantastic; yes they serve everyone food, cold and hot. Their daughter, her husband and friends did all the BBQ’uing
