OCT. 1, Wednesday
We woke up to rain but it stopped later in the morning and was on and off all day. Went to the bank in the afternoon then just relaxed and read. Val cooked a delicious stew for dinner.
OCT. 2, Thursday
Val did the laundry and I put together our medical claim for BC. We also got a call from Joanne (Val’s daughter) with wonderful news that she was pregnant with twins. She is due next April, so another reason to get home next spring.
I got a call from a guy whom I knew when I was an Army Reservist (16 to 18 yrs old). I met him in town and we had a coffee together and brought back so many memories that I felt overwhelmed. It was neat and I am glad he called. I felt kind of bad because as we talked, I really didn’t remember him from that era but he sure did!
Gilles came home tonight and we all had a drink together. It was very windy today. The leafs are falling in droves
OCT. 3, Friday
It was sunny with cloudy period today so we worked on putting all the summer equipment away for the winter and we put up the tarp garage for Lise’s car.
Windy again today and the yard is just covered in leafs and pine needles. Gilles got a call from Johnny to come down and give a hand building an addition to his shed so we all agreed to go.
OCT. 4, Saturday
We left the house around 9:30 a.m., stopped for breakfast and drove to Longueuil to Johnny and Ginette’s place. We spent the rest of the day working on the addition and got it all finished except for the siding. It was sunny and cool which made for a pleasant day.
Ginette cooked us all a marvelous pork roast dinner and we made pigs of ourselves. It was delicious. Afterwards, we visited and finally came home around 11 p.m.
A long but productive day!
OCT. 5, Sunday
Sunny again but very cool. It got down to 2*C (34*F) overnight. We spoke to our friends in Idaho, Steve and Linda, on Skype in the morning. The neat thing is that we were able to see them on our camcorder. Modern technology!
A lazy day sort of, Gilles worked on his lights and I raked the yard. Afterwards, I moved all my stuff in the garage ready to be loaded on the truck as soon as I can wash it.
Andre and Claudette came over from Montreal for a visit. We all had dinner together as Val cooked a lasagna; another success.
Gilles left for Latuque around 8 p.m. and Andre and his girlfriend also left. We cleaned up the dining room and also turned in.
15 days to go to our departure!
