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!

September 14 to 19, 2013; 16 days left to our departure

Saturday was a quiet day.  HH at Bob and Gail and Judy joined us.  Val made a great salad for dinner along with a BBQ steak.  Another hot day!

I washed the Motorhome on Sunday; I timed it so that I washed each side as it got into the shade, even the roof was pleasant to do in the morning.  Val went to Scotch Creek for milk and wine and HH was at our place with Bob and Gail in Attendance and Wayne joined us about half way through.  Ed and Judy left early this morning for a couple weeks; he’s going hunting in Northern Alberta and she will be staying with family. 

Monday; I knew that if I washed the MH, it would rain and did it ever!  All night long and into the morning; we did have some clearing and I was able to walk Tucker and Val got a couple loads of laundry before it began again.  We watched a movie in the afternoon and Val made a hearty meal for supper.  I called VIRGIN MOBILE again this month for over-charges!  I am really getting disappointed in these guys; it seems to be a monthly ritual.  Anyway, I did cancel Val’s phone as of the end of the next billing because we will be in the States by then; mine will be next!

We went to Salmon Arm on Tuesday as Tucker had an appointment with the Vet.  After an hour and 5 BIG ONES later we were on our way to pick up our mail, have lunch and then get some groceries.  Val had a doctor appointment at 2:30 pm so we attended that at 0 cost except if you count the cost of the prescription for meds for the next 6 months.  We came home, had dinner and watched the tube.  It was cloudy most of the day but warm enough to walk around with short sleeves and shorts

First thing I did this Wednesday morning is call Mexico to make reservations for our trip then e-mailed everyone in our group. It is a sunny but windy day.  We went to the Quaaout Lodge for lunch to meet our friends Pat and Rick and found a big surprise; Bill and Tammy were sitting there and had been invited by Pat.  They soon walked in with Joanne and Don and we proceeded to have a wonderful reunion.  Bill and Tammy are friends from San Carlos, Mexico whom we have known since our first trip there, they live in Vernon.  We spent over two hours catching up to everyone news but unfortunately it was soon time to say our goodbyes.  Tammy gave us corn and cucumber grown from her garden.  We came home after a short drive in the neighborhood.  HH was at our place with Donna and Marcel who just returned from Lacombe, Alta.  The evenings are getting cooler each day.

Thursday was sunny again so I vacuumed the Jeep and cleaned the inside, put some stuff away for the winter and organized the Beaver’s basement.  We sat out for a while but it got too cold and came inside, time for dinner anyway!  We also got an e-mail from friends we met in Mazatlan and they want to pick our brains about places to stay in the USA and our reasons for the choice of a motorhome (they may want to buy one too). Oh and I made a doctor appointment for next week for me to get my final stamp of approval and a prescription for my meds.
