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!

July 1 to 5, 2015; Visit with Val's grand-kids and BBQ at our house

JULY 1, 2015; HAPPY CANADA DAY!
I sat most of the day waiting for the guys to install our A/C and they didn’t show up.  When I called he had some feeble excuse and I got angry and told him a piece of my mind for making me waste a whole day.  Val went shopping for groceries and a couple of other things.  It was a HOT one again.


JUL 2-3; WORK!
Back to work on Thursday for some delivery and pick-ups then I spent more time tearing old window frames apart.  I was home by 4 pm.  The service guys were here early this morning to install the A/C and it is now nicely cool in the house.  Friday was the balance of the frames, clean up shop and the truck, take delivery of 20 new windows from GENTEK then to Kevin’s uncle Ron to pick up a saw and take it to the Home Shop.  I got home by 1 pm, showered and got ready for an eye appointment at 3:45 pm which turned out to be an infection of the left eye and was prescribed eye drops for 4 days.  My vision has also improved a bit (!???) so I am getting new lenses.  Blue Cross and Medicare paid for most of it all.


JULY 4, SATURDAY; Visit with grand-kids
Sunny and HOT again today.  After our usual lazy Saturday morning, we went to Holiday Trail campground and visited Joanne, John and the two grand-daughters; Jenaya & McKinley.  Of course, we spent most of the afternoon at the waterslide next door (which belongs to Holiday Trail now) then we had dinner with everyone out by their new trailer.  Afterwards we all went for a walk and ended up at John’s sister lot in the same campground and had a very nice visit.  We finally got home at midnight.  It was a fun-fill day!


JULY 5, SUNDAY; BBQ
I was up early so that I could wash the Santa Fe which I did.  After showering and breakfast, we went to Costco to buy some stuff for the BBQ later.  This has been the hottest day thus far: 96*F!  I went to CDN TIRE and bought a sun canopy for the BBQ.  Rochelle and Kevin, Hayley and brother Johnny and his girlfriend (new) Gabrielle were in attendance.  We sat around for a while then I cooked sweet corn and hamburger and potato salad from Costco.  We had a great visit and it was so nice to have Hayley over.  We tried to invite Graeme and Courtenay but they had other plans and we couldn’t reach Vanessa.  Everyone was gone by ten and we headed for bed soon after
