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!

August 22 to 27, 2013; Last days of work for Val & more routine stuff


AUG  22 to 27; Last days of work for Val

Thursday was back to work for both of us, lucky Val only got 5 days left!!  It was warm today, in the upper 20’s C.  The wasps seem to be slowing down, getting dozy due to cold nights, I think.

It was cloudy on Friday and even had some drizzle, albeit very light and much cooler; work is getting boring and a chore but still plugging at it.  I got our medical insurance documents today via e-mail.  Paper documents to follow!

Saturday was cloudy with a few drizzle.  The campers are getting restless and are eager to lift the ban on fires but it won’t happen soon unfortunately.  At home, I BBQ’ed hamburgers and boiled corn on the cob for dinner; it was a pleasant evening so we sat out for quite a while before hitting the sack.

Monday, what a change!  Rain all night and into the early afternoon; it made for a wet day to work!  Well, Val is off to Toronto.  We took the back road via Turtle Valley into Falklands, Vernon and finally the airport in Kelowna.  We stopped at a local pub in Winfield for a bite to eat.  Val checked in with no problem and went into the restricted area so I came home; it took me 2 hours coming back via Salmon Arm which was shorter in distance then the back road we took going out.  Now I have to fend for myself for 5 days....Poor me!!!

Tuesday was wash day; the jeep (it was filthy from the gravel road yesterday) and clothes.  Cloudy, rainy period and just plain miserable!  Val called to say she arrived in time, tired but feeling great being with her sisters and sister-in-law.
