AUGUST  1 to 7 2013; Gateway, Lee Creek

Back to the grind this Thursday morning under sunny sky and warm weather which has now beaten many records in the Province.  We also have a fire ban starting today! 

August Stat Week-end (BC Day) was hot and the Park was very busy and so was Gateway.  As a matter of fact, we have never seen it this busy here in Gateway which is great in a way!  There was a hamburger and hot dog cook-out Sunday evening so after work, we stopped in for a couple burgers then came home for an early bed.

Tuesday, days off!  I called Rochelle yesterday to find out how they and the kids are doing.  Val went to Tai-Chi in Chase then we went to Salmon Arm for our usual shopping and mail pick-up.  It took us over an hour to do 10 KM just before Salmon Arm because of constructions; we travelled the distance between 5 to 40 Km/Hr.  We finally made it, did our thing and then came back home which was much faster but still heavy with traffic.  HH was at Ed & Judy with Bob & Gail and Allan and Dana joining us.  We bought a cooked whole chicken at SAVE-ON-FOOD so we had that with small potatoes and St-Hubert BBQ.

 

Wednesday, I went back to S.A. for Tucker’s haircut; we couldn’t get an appointment in Chase until September which was too long.  I also got a haircut then we came home.  Spent the rest of the afternoon working around the yard then at 5 PM we went to Bruce and Joyce to join Marcel, Bob and Gail for Happy Hour.  For dinner, we had BBQ pork chops with a nice salad then watched the tube and to bed...Tomorrow is back to the grind one more week
