About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

October 4 to 8, 2011; more prep, new purchases and to Chilliwack

OCT 4, Tuesday,
More rain again today! We returned the rental movie and then went for a drive to Adams Lake as Val wanted to look at the store there and the village which consist mainly of summer cottages although a few people live there year round. We came home and had Happy Hour at B&G. They bought two single chairs for the living room and asked to store the extra couch in our storage unit so I went over after to clear an area as we will move it tomorrow. By the way, I bought an “I phone” 3G on line for real cheap and had it shipped to our friends in Boise who will mail it to us, hopefully before they leave for Mexico on the 17th of this month.


OCT 5, Wednesday
Cloudy this morning but no rain so far! I called TELUS and suspended our phone as of the 24th and reduced the plan to bare minimum as of the 10th. This is so I don’t get charge any extra while we are away as the phone will not be used and TELUS don’t have the “sleep” period anymore that they used to offer.
I helped Bob putting up the cover by the “clubhouse” for their party on Thanks-Giving. By the time we finished, it was happy hour at Ed & Judy so we went over for an hour then came home, had dinner and watched “Survivors” then a movie.


OCT 6, Thursday
A bear was around our garbage can overnight and made a mess outside which I cleaned up promptly. I guess I won’t be doing that anymore. We have blue sky this morning so hopefully it will last. We went to Salmon Arm for my final check up on the c-pap and received my own machine. Then it was a trip to Kal-Tire to get the front tire on the car fixed...it had a slow leak. Val had to go to Zellers for a couple of things then we went to Chase to return a couple movies and pick two more then home. It was cloudy in S.A but sunny in Chase and Lee Creek. We had H.H with Bob & Gail at our place and ended up sitting out in the middle of the street chasing the sunrays. It reminded me of San Carlos at Happy Hour and how we chase the sun by sitting in the lane instead of under the canopies.


OCT 7, Friday
I got a text from Rochelle that they (Rochelle & Kevin) won’t be going to Kelowna so we decided to go down to Chilliwack today.
We packed and left around 1pm. First, we had to stop in Chase for the Post Office and then return our movies. We again stopped in Kamloops to take a look at Readers at Staple where we ran into Bob. We chatted a bit then made our way across the Coquihalla pass and down into the Fraser Valley to Chilliwack. As we arrived in the driveway, Vanessa drove in right behind us. We hugged and had a very nice visit with her and R&K. Kevin cooked steaks for dinner then Vanessa had to go to work at Boston Pizza and we proceeded to drink wine. That daughter of mine can sure gulp it back!!! Anyway, we didn’t get to bed until past midnight.


OCT 8, Saturday
A nice day with the sun shining most of the day. Kevin took me to a couple of job sites his company is presently working on then we came home. Val and I drove to Abbotsford to Best Buy where we checked out some tablets and e-readers but didn’t buy anything. We came back to Chilliwack and stopped at Future Shop then Staple where we finally found a tablet Val liked and after doing some research on prices, we bought a 7” Acer e-reader with WI-FI access and e-mail and web browsing.
Hayley finally got home around 6 pm from Kelowna where her team won first place in the competition. We went out to Mr Mike restaurant to celebrate with her. We came home and watched football for the rest of the evening.
