AUG. 15, Friday,
We went for a walk in the a.m. and to the golf course for dinner with the whole family in the evening. This is a weekly thing here. Kind of neat!
AUG. 16, Saturday
Sunny again. I organized files on the computer in the morning. Just after lunch, a couple (Louise and Dave, friends of Chris & Dorothea) came over to talk to us about full-timing. They sold their house and bought a 40 foot 5th-Wheel and a 350 Chevy. dually, diesel. They had lots of questions and we gave them as much info as we could. They went home about an hour later and we promised to keep in touch.
Dori came over in the afternoon and everyone (Dori, Val, Dorothea, Chris) went kayaking around. There was only 4 kayaks so I stayed back and took pictures. This was Dori's first time in a kayak.
For dinner, we had BBQ Pork Chops then watched the Olympics in the evening.
AUG. 17, Sunday
We went for a hike in the afternoon. Drove down this logging road then hiked or should I say, bush-whacked for about an hour and got to a point on the lake. Stayed there for a few minutes then walked back. Once home, Val went into the lake to cool off and I showered ( I am not much into cold water). We were gone for about 2 1/2 hours.
Kathie came over for a visit. It is very warm tonight and we have quite a lightning show but no thunder
AUG. 18, Monday
I spoke too soon. We had a horrendous thunder, lightning and rain storm around midnight while in bed. Actually woke us up. It finally quiet down a good hour later.
We got up to clouds and very cold temperature. Never went over 60 the whole day but it did clear up in the evening. Everyone is back at work now. Dorothea was off last week but now it's back to the routine for her. We have the house to ourselves.
We went for another hike again in the evening but a more gentle one in the Provincial Park nearby. There were Val, Chris, Dori, Ashley, Kathie and all the dogs of course. Mosquitoes were quite bad so we made it a short one. Came back to the house for a desert and a quick visit.
AUG. 19, Tuesday
Sunny again today and warming up quite nicely but the wind is cool. I went for a haircut this morning then we met Kathie, Dorothea and her daughter Michelle for lunch. Afterwards, Val and I took a drive towards Wild Goose beach and looked around the area. Came home and got dinner ready for the poor working people
AUG. 20, Wednesday
Another sunny day and much warmer. We went cycling to town through the golf course and then on the way back, down a neat little trail along the lake. It was a 2 1/2 hour trip with a stop for a hot dog and fries.
Came home and prepared dinner after going for a swim in the lake and after dinner, we went on a boat ride with the neighbours, John and Marlene. A neat couple who are thinking of buying a 5th wheel and truck and go south in the winter.
APR. 21, Thursday
Got up at 8 a.m. to a sunny day. We went into town for more groceries and stopped for a hamburger and fries. We drove to a the campsite where Louise and Dave are staying but they weren't home ( they are the couple full-timing for the 1st time). We came home and prepared dinner then Tucker and I and Chris went for a long walk; Val is in town with Dori and Kathie decorating a hall for the week-end's festival.
