OCT 7, WEDNESDAY; More
yard work
Cloudy
and cool but comfortable! A lazy morning
to start then back at the yard. Val went
for a walk with Donna and I worked on the monitor switch that controls the
back-up camera along with some stats on the engine and tranny. I switched the one from the wall which was
good with the one on the console by the driver side. It took me over an hour to do this as it was
difficult to reach and saved myself over $300 in shop repair! Relaxing evening to end the day!
OCT 8, THURSDAY; Doctor’s
appointment
Cloudy
again! We were in Salmon Arm by 10:30 am
for our appointments at 11 am. We picked
up our mail for one last time and then went for our exam. Mine was OK and just the usual however at
Val’s visit we learned that she should go see a specialist in Kamloops about
her tummy problems. This will delay our
departure by a week or two maybe; it will all depend on when the exam at the
hospital can take place. If it’s too
long, we may postpone to the spring, providing it is safe to do so. The doctor believes it is not that serious
but just cautionary. We also had to go
get blood work at the clinic then headed home after picking up a few
groceries. It rained a bit in the later
part of the afternoon.
OCT 9, FRIDAY; Chiro
appointment for Val
Cloudy! Val went for her appointment and when she
came back, she was very happy with the Chiro and wants to go back one more time
so she made an appointment for next Tuesday.
I cleaned up the branches from the tree and took them up the hill then
did a final clean-up of the leaves. New
visitors arrived at the Matchim so it’s going to be a busy week-end for
them. I made my spaghetti sauce for
supper then we had a quiet evening at home.
OCT 10, SATURDAY; BACK TO
CHILLIWACK
Woke
up to cloudy sky and some rain coming down but it eventually cleared up and the
sun even shined for a while. After
saying our goodbyes, we finally got on the road by 10:20am. We got sunshine all the way to the top at
Coquihalla Lake where the toll used to be and then it all changed! RAIN, rain and more rain and fog all the way
to Bridal Falls where it finally stopped long enough for me to fuel up then
back on HWY 1 when it began raining again.
It stopped in Chilliwack long enough for me to park then the wind came
up and it rained buckets, coming sideway!
I did eventually hooked-up and levelled the MH. Kevin left for Vancouver to watch a hockey
game with son Graeme and we visited with Rochelle and had pizza with her. We went back to our little home after and had
a quiet and early evening
OCT 11, SUNDAY; THANKSGIVING
Not
raining this morning, so far anyway! I
got my final paycheck from UNGER WINDOW with my “Separation papers” and so did
Val. Now we can apply for EI, not that I
will get anything but I always wanted to do that! J We had our showers in the house then got
dress for the day. We did help Rochelle
in a few things but she had most of it under control. Everybody showed up by 1 pm and we were sitting
down at the table by 2 pm. The meal was
absolutely wonderbar with lots of vegetables and new salad dishes. When we finished, everyone was full and the
grand-kids did the dishes (Wonderful).
Afterwards we sat on the covered patio and played a couple games of
words. Lots of fun and laughter! The kids went home with care packages of
course and the grand-parents lingered on for a couple hours more. We were back in our home by 7pm. A wonderful day!
