July 18 to 31, 2007

Not having ready access to the internet can be a pain sometimes.  I hadn't realized it had been this long since I wrote.

Not much to report.  It's been a quiet week and a half.  Rained for about 6 days and finally cleared on the 24th.

I heard from Fleetwood finally.  They want us to bring the rig down to LaGrande, Oregon at their expense so will do that soon hopefully.  Need to get some work done on this rig first.

On the 23rd we went kayaking up the lake and down the river.  On the return trip, Val got caught up in some branches and with all the boat traffic, she got swamped and her kayak floated down the river on its own.  After securing her on shore I went after it and finally got a boater to pick it up for me as I couldn't reach it...too rough over the sand bar.  What an adventure!  Finally got home safe and sound and put the kayaks away for the time being.

We also went to the Imrie's at their cabin up the lake and did some kayaking there and had a wonderful day.

 

I AM HITCHING TO GET A MOVE ON!

 

On the last days of July, I finally got the front of the lot finished off with P-gravel and put up a little fence to add to the cosmetic.  Looks great.  Kids are coming for the long week-end, looking forward to that.

Friends of ours, Glenda and Terry, came over for the night with their rig.  They are just returning from a trip up to Alaska.  They are also full-timers and we follow their adventure on their blog at http://tagretire.blogspot.com    Had a very nice visit and they left the next day for Spokane, Wash.

Also called Festival RV in Lethbridge, Alta and got the word that our counter top replacement has been approved.  Made arrangement to have it installed along with some other stuff, in La grande when we go down.  I am REALLY DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED WITH FESTIVAL.  I would NOT shop there again for the life of me.
