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!

Septembre 22 to 27, 2014; Work, new home and days off

SEPT  22, Monday; Work and signing a lease
We had some rain today but nothing for long.  Work consisted of one delivery then going to the Post Office project in Abbotsford where we installed the new glass that was delivered this morning on the window frames we put up last week.  It was hard work as some of the glass were as heavy as 175 lbs each.  We got back by 4 pm and cleaned up.  It was a hard day for me but it felt good all the same.
After dinner, we drove up to our new “home” and finalized the arrangements with the landlord and gave him post dated cheques for the next 6 months.  We unloaded the stuff we had in the jeep then came home to our Beaver!

 
SEPT  23, Tuesday;
Well, the valley showed up its true colors today and what to expect; it rained all afternoon and we got wet but we got all the glass in and were back in at the shop by 4 pm.  It rained all evening and night.

 
SEPT  24, Wednesday; Day off
It rained most of the morning but finally stopped in the afternoon.  We took the Jeep to “GREEN ACRES ALIGNMENT” to have the brakes done then we went to “COTTONWOOD RV” to make an appointment for the motorhome to have it winterize and to check the leak in the slide.  We then went to our “new winter home” and dropped off some more stuff.  We had a drink with Kevin and Rochelle then went to our pad for dinner and watched the tube for a while before heading for bed.

 
SEPT  25, Thursday
Today I did a lot of driving picking up doors and other stuff then came back to the shop and unloaded everything.  I then gave the guys a hand in cutting, gluing and set-ups for the Post office job.  I finally got home at 5:30 pm just in time to see Rochelle and Kevin off to Leavenworth, Wash. for the week-end.  Val was busy today getting more stuff together for our new place and cooked us a marvelous dinner.

 
SEPT  26, Friday
Rain, rain, rain!  Things to come???  I worked half a day then came home and filled our water tank, washed and put away the Osmosis System in Kevin’s garage for the winter.  Val took a load of stuff up to our “new home” and found out that we can move in this Sunday.  They also bought a new 40” TV for our place!  WOW, Luxury!  I also put VERIZON on vacation mode for the next few months.  I can only do this every three months after I paid one month.  I still need to cancel our satellite and reduce our phone plan as we won’t need so much data since I have internet with the place.

 
SEPT  27, Saturday, Days off
It was very foggy this morning but no rain!  We moved pretty well everything that needs to be moved.  Tomorrow will be our official first day at our new “home”.  I went to help Graeme in his new home but he was pretty well done for the day.  Val also did laundry.  Grand-daughter Hayley is staying at the house while R&K are in Leavenworth, Wash. so we visited with her for a while too.  Mom and Dad’s room looks like a tornado is living there but I am sure it will be spic and span for their return tomorrow J
It was sunny and warm today and the forecast is for the same tomorrow.
