About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
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 16 to 22, 2014; Langley then home

JUN  16, Monday; To Langley, BC
We were up early and on the road by 10 am.  We stopped at Costco in Kamloops to check out glasses and had a quick breakfast at TIM HORTON.  We then drove on to Chilliwack where we stopped to say Hi to Rochelle and Kevin then continued on to Langley.  We called Jeffrey when we got near and he told us to meet him at his boat in Port Moody so we continued on.  I made the mistake of taking the Pit Meadow Ridge and got myself turned around but finally found my way and got to the Marina.
WHAT A YATCH!!!!  I am very impressed!  43 feet total length, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a beautiful and fully equipped galley and living room, a rear deck and a bridge area with deck, all enclosed.  Jeff is in the middle of replacing some electronics so I gave him a hand.  We ordered in Pizza for dinner and finally left for his house around 8 pm.  We sat around and chatted for a while then went to bed.

 
JUN  17, Tuesday; Langley
Jeff went to work early and we went shopping later in the morning.  At noon, friend Debbie came over and took the dogs for a walk with Val and I went to Hyundai to have the locks checked but they couldn’t find the problem and it ended costing me “nothing” which was very nice of them.  I met Jeffrey at his boat around 2:30 pm and we installed new speakers and installed the marine radio.  We came home and had Quebec style Chop-Suey which I had prepared earlier; Val cooked rice to go along with it all.  We watched some tube afterwards and everyone was in bed early.

 
JUN  18, Wednesday; Back to Lee Creek
We were up early and drove to Jeff’s shop to say our goodbyes then hit the highway by 9:30 am.  We stopped in Chilliwack to say goodbye to Rochelle (Kevin was out) then continued to Kamloops.  We stopped at Costco to pick up some stuff and were home by 2:30 pm.  We had a surprise visit from friends whom moved to Manitoba a few years back.  We had them for dinner and they left around 8 pm.  We were in bed by 10!

 
JUN  19, Thursday; Back to work
Back to the grind this morning; a busy and productive day!  HH with my little woman who went to Salmon Arm today to get herself pants for work and paid by the Park.  We received refunds from Extended Health for my new breather on the CPAP and a refund on the Mexico insurance from BCAA.  We watched more of the FRINGE tonight

 
JUN  20, Friday;
Work all day!  The Park is now fully open and it looks like I will be working full time effective now!  Not much else to report.

 
JUN  21, Saturday; More work!
Another busy day!  Came home, changed into more comfortable clothes then, after HH together, we had dinner and went out to start a pit fire.  Bob and Gail joined us for a while then it was time for bed.  Summer solstice and the longest daylight hours day!

 
JUN  22, Sunday;
One more day of work and it was a warm one at that.  Most of the campers left today hence our being busy cleaning…some people can be such pigs when they leave their sites!!  Anyway, I got home at my usual time and Al and Dana (from Alberta) who arrived today, came over for a drink and we all decided to go to the pub in Scotch-Creek for their Sunday night special: Roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding.  I also got a call from brother Gaetan to let me know his cancer flared up again and will have to go for treatment in all probability.  It has reached part of his lungs too.  That’s really shitty!!! 
We had a good dinner and came home early enough to watch the last episodes of FRINGE!
