We got up to a beautiful sunshine this morning but it was really cold in the Unit. I checked the furnace and it was on so I went outside and found out that we had run out of propane so I got dressed and drove to Scotch Creek to fill both tanks, came back and started the furnace. Val was still in bed keeping warm under the covers.
We worked around the lot, Val did the laundry using our washing machine and I fixed a couple of little outstanding items. Afterwards, I went to give Bob a hand with his addition then it was happy hour. It was sunny all day but still quite cool, only got up to 17*C.
We went to Kamloops today to shop at Costco, Cdn Tire, BCAA and Home Depot where we picked up a washer and dryer for Bob and Gail. I fuelled the truck at $1.29/Liter then we came home. After unloading the appliances and putting our own stuff away, it was time for happy hour. For dinner, we bought a BBQ chicken at Costco. Val made a salad and re-heated some left over vegetables.
It was sunny all day and the temperature reached 21*C
We ran out of propane overnight so it was pretty cold in the rig this morning. Yes, both tanks were empty so I drove to Scotch Creek and had them filled for $44.
We went to Salmon Arm to take Tucker for his hair cut. While he was there, we stopped at Cdn Tire to return a heater we had bought, and then we went to the Vet office to pick up some glucosamine for Tucker. After picking Tucker, I fuelled the truck at $1.28/litre, we came home. Called Rochelle to find out what everyone is wearing for the party this week-end...casual we were told.
Cloudy most of the day with sunny period! Today is wash day! Val did the laundry and I began organizing the basement. We’ve had a few drizzles but nothing serious. I called Shaw and had our second receiver hooked up for $5/mth more. It was a very cold day especially with the wind. No happy hour this afternoon!
On the road once again! First thing this morning, we went to Chase for blood test and immunization then we came back and packed for the week-end. We drove to Kamloops where we stopped at Cdn Tire then went on to Hope where I took on fuel at $1.36/litre; bloody ridiculous, more expensive then the Interior! I took on $70 for free as I used the points I had on my Esso Visa. Then we carried on to Chilliwack to Rochelle and Kevin’s place. We had a nice reunion with the girls...Hayley is so quiet, hard to talk to! Anyway, the four of us went out for dinner at “OJ’s”, a new restaurant in town. We came home and continued our visit.
After Rochelle went to work and Hayley left for school, it was our turn to get ready. We went to town and looked around at all the new changes; Chilliwack has sure grown since my days here. We met Andrew, our financial adviser and made some changes to our investments. We came home and Rochelle was here already so was Kevin so we visited and Russ & Cathy, friends of theirs and her boss at work, showed up and we proceeded to reminisced about the their trip to Arizona a couple weeks ago where we met them (Kevin and Russ) in Oatman. Rochelle served dinner for everyone, steaks and salad then we sat around and chatted to late hours when we decided it was time to go to bed. We had a great time filled with laughters.
