AUGUST 22 to 31, 2007

AUG. 22, Wednesday

Had to go to a health clinic this morning because of my diabetes level being higher than normal. Informative but had it before....I guess I have to start paying attention if I don't want to get any worse.
Made some calls re: health insurance while in the States next few months. Found one at Barton for 850$ for both of us. Good price.


AUG. 23, Thursday

Met a guy at our storage about some of the furniture we want sold. He will take it into his store so that means I can now close off this storage. Loaded a few boxes in the truck to take to Chase.
Went to Logan Lake and stopped at Pascal Lake on the way and visited with the Kirkby's then off to Pat and Rick for dinner.
As usual, it was great dinner and company. Got home around 10 p.m.


AUG 24, Friday

Took the boxes to the storage in the morning and Joanne ( Val's daughter), her husband John and their daughter Jenaya arrived early afternoon from Burnaby. Val was happy to see her grand-daughter. We had dinner then a camp fire in the evening. Cooked marshmallow and our neighbours dropped by for a roast and to meet this little bundle of joy and her parents too, of course.
A good time was had by all.


AUG 25, Saturday, cool and cloudy today

Took the kids to the Wildlife Park in Kamloops and Jenaya had a wonderful time petting all the animals she could. Came home at 5 p.m. and had BBQ chicken and salad. Mandatory fire inn the evening with more marshmallow


AUG 26, Sunday, cloudy and rain

Kids got up early and left around 9:30 a.m. It was a wonderful week-end and now it's clean up time and get ready to take this rig to Butler tomorrow to get these repairs done finally


AUG 27, Monday

Took the rig to Butler then headed to Logan Lake. Will be staying there for the next 4 nights


AUG 28 to 31

Had a wonderful time at the Kirkby's and visited everyone including an old friend of mine from my previous life: Patrick Muldoon, a sailing buddy. Had a wonderful chat catching up to all the news. On Friday, I finally heard from Butler that the rig was ready so I paid the bill upon returning from Salmon Arm and left it there for another night as we were going to the Bull Pub in Logan Lake. That turned out to be a night filled with a lot of chatters and meeting more acquaintances from the past.
I had to go to Salmon Arm to see a specialist about my liver. Lynden came with me and we had lunch with his son, Trenton.

Life is but a journey filled with adventures
