About Me

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!

July 17 to 21, 2012; Drummond'Ville

JULY  17, Tuesday
We had more rain overnight and most of the morning but it finally cleared late in the afternoon!  We went grocery shopping then stopped a few other stores for items not found at Super C.  We came home and found that my sister Therese and husband Michel had arrived with their trailer and were all set up by us.  After hugs and more hugs and putting the groceries away, we got down to serious business; beer!  We all had dinner together outside, spaghetti with sauce that Therese made...It was delicious.  We stayed up until 11 pm, talking and laughing then it was time for bed.  Tucker seems to be more like himself which is a relief for us.


JULY  18, Wednesday
More rain overnight but now the sky is cleared; the forecast is for 25*C today but actually reached only 22*C!  We all stuck around the house and yard today.  Peter did go out for a while but otherwise, it was a quiet day.  I tried setting up the satellite without success but will try again tomorrow as it is too frustrating right now.  We cooked our bag of pickerel fish for dinner and everyone enjoyed it.  We had a fire in the evening and called an early night at 10 pm.


JULY  19, Friday Geo-caching and town run
After breakfast, we all went into Michel’ struck and drove to town.  On the way we stopped to find two ‘caches” but had no success.  We went grocery shopping, picked up our dry-cleaning and stopped for a beer at a local bistro.  Peter saw friends who were at the house when we arrived so invited them to join us.  We finally left two hours later and came home.  We had appys and that became our dinner.


JULY  20, Friday
Sunny and cool this morning!  We have made it a habit to get up and take our coffee to Peter’s balcony and sit with him and chat.  Even Therese and Michel joined us.  We relaxed most of the day waiting for the adjuster who showed up at 3 pm.  He took notes and pictures of the damage caused by the blowout then we all went to my sister Christiane and her friend Susan.  We had a marvellous dinner called “Bird Nest” which consisted of dried Chinese noodles in the form of a nest filled with chicken and vegetables cooked in a wok.  It was delicious.  We had a fire afterwards and came home around 10:30 pm.


JULY  21, Saturday
Sunny!  Gilles is home and on holidays for 2 weeks so came over for coffee first thing this morning.  He found out that it was dirt in the carburetor that prevented his boat from starting so he got that all fixed and will pick it up today from the shop.  We basically sat home again today and swam in the lake.  Therese and Val took the kayaks out and went for a paddle.  For dinner, we had steak and pear salad which everyone enjoyed then a fire to end the evening.  We even had fireworks from across the way.  It was a sunny day and warm evening.
