JULY 16, Wednesday, Truck maintenance
I took the truck to the garage and had an oil/lube done. Afterwards, we drove to Longueuil to Therese to pick up our bikes before they go on holidays. While there, we went to Costco and Wal-Mart then we came back to Drummond. Traffic was heavy on the way back. This is the start of Construction holiday when the WHOLE Province's construction workers go on holiday for 2 weeks. still no mail
JULY 17, Thursday. More maintenance
Took the truck back to the garage and had the wheel alignment checked and 4 new shocks installed. What a difference. Afterwards, I called our mail service to find out what was happening. Good thing I did, they had a computer crash and lost my address and phone number. They forwarded our mail via UPS overnight at their cost which was very nice. Gilles came home around 3 p.m., he has started his holidays.
JULY 18, Friday, Mail arrives finally
Our mail arrived this morning finally. Got two cheques from the BC Govt regarding green refunds. Also got one refund from ICBC re: our trip to Mexico. It rained most of the day
JULY 19, Saturday Yard work
we went to town in the morning after helping Gilles around the yard. Also deposited our "fortune". Val went for a swim in the lake and then a friend of Gilles and Lise came over for a quick visit.
We had a fire in the evening and music provided by a party across the lake.
JULY 20, Sunday
Today marks our mid point before we leave again for southern destinations. Time is flying! I do miss home, our Province, our friends. So does Val. It's cloudy and humid again today but the sun is trying to burn through.
We went cycling around the neighborhood, about 10 miles return. Gilles and Lise spent the day getting ready for their big trip to the States to see Veronique, our niece and for a drive to Virginia beach
JULY 21, Monday.
Gilles and Lise left around 11 a.m. for their holidays. We are babysitting the dogs (4 of them). I made an appointment with the Vet for Friday to have Tucker's shots Rain in the afternoon.
JULY 22, Tuesday
Christiane had called and wanted me to help her get a load of firewood for her party in August so I drove to her place then to Rona to pick up a pallet of left over wood such as 2X4, 2X6 and the likes. I didn't realize they did that. Cost her $50 and we got a full truck load. Went to her place and unloaded then I came home It rained later in the afternoon
JULY 23, Wednesday
Cloud and rain again. God, is this weather pattern ever going to end!? Another spent at the house. Took the dogs out for a walk and read most of the day.
