About Me

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!

June 20 to 23, 2012; visit family in Olds, Alta

June  20, Wednesday, OLDS
SUNNY!!!!  Finally, a nice day!  By the way, we are set up in their yard with electricity; we use the rig for sleeping only and we are still hooked up.  Marcel is at work, we went to town to the bank and Shopper Drug mart for Val’s make up and stuff.  We had lunch at a local pub then came home and relax.  At 2 pm, I took Tucker for his walk then the three of us went into Calgary to meet Marcel at 4 pm.  We had dinner at a local pub that we’ve been to before then the girls went to the stadium to watch Brian Adams Live!  Marcel had bought two tickets for them and Val was really surprised and excited.  Marcel and I came home in Olds and had a few drinks then it was bedtime.  Val got home sometime around midnight but I was asleep.


JUNE  21, Thursday, Olds
Another sunny day!  We went to Red Deer for some shopping and we had lunch there.  Val had to get a few items for her toiletry and we stopped at Costco to redeem a couple rebates I had and to buy some vitamins.  Nice not to have to pay the infamous HST!  Marcel got home around 5:30 pm and we had dinner then watched the tube and chatted until it was his bedtime, 10 pm. (he gets up at 4:30 am). 


JUNE  22, Friday, wash day
Val did the laundry this morning then she and Audy went to town.  I stayed home with my little buddy and watched a movie.  When Marcel got home, we had dinner, salmon from Costco and baked potato with salad.  Afterwards, we drove to Red Deer lodge near here to a music jam.  Marcel had his guitar and played of course.  This went on until 10 pm when everyone left as the place was closing.  We drove to Sundry and did a couple of bars, both with live music but the second one was much better and livelier.  We got home around 1 am!


JUNE  23, Saturday, Last day in Olds
It rained overnight and it is cloudy right now.  We decided to leave a day earlier to give us more time to make it to Geraldton, ONT, in time for the big party.  Marcel and Audy will be leaving next Tuesday and are taking the car only with a stop in Saskatchewan to see his son and grandson.
We went to Sundre, about one hour West of here to watch a rodeo.  We were there the whole afternoon and luckily, it didn’t rain.  It was fun and interesting.  Afterwards, we went for dinner at a local Pub then came home.  We watched a movie in the evening and Val decided to bathe Tucker.  I was in bed by 10 pm.
