July 1 to 5, 2010; visitors at Gateway

We had a big celebration at one of our neighbour for Canada Day! About 35 people showed up for a BYOB and BYOFood! A good time was had by all and we even had live entertainment. There was lots of food to taste and even dessert. It always amazes me how talented certain people you know are when it comes to music!!! We had to call it early as we were both working in the am.
Friday was a working day for both of us. In the evening, we were invited over to Donna for a get together for dinner with three other neighbours.
Saturday was back to work for me and Val did some work around the house and the garden. This is also my sister Therese and Michel’s anniversary so Happy 40th to both of you! We went to Joanne and Don’s cottage on the lake for a drink and ended up staying for dinner.
Sunday, after work, I found Glenda and Terry had arrived and were set up in Al’s spare spot. Joanne and Don came over for a visit and we had had dinner after a happy hour and a fire in the evening where we proceeded to get a bit smashed!!! We had a downpour around 5 pm but it lasted only about 20 minutes and then it was back to cloudy sky
Monday, day off for both of us, Terry and I went to the garage in Sorrento to have the reservoir on my radiator changed as it had a leak then we met the girls at Chase’s laundry mat. Afterwards, we came home and went to Don and Joanne cottage for the afternoon and had a good time again. We couldn’t go for a boat ride as it was windy and the lake was rough. We came home around 5 and Glenda boiled baby-back ribs then Terry BBQ’ed those on our BBQ They were delicious!! In the evening, we played a game of sequence and we let the girls win as we are good gentlemen. We called it quit early as Val has to work tomorrow and Terry wants to hit the road by 7 am at the latest; they are headed for Creston then Spokane. We said our good-byes then it was beddy-bye!
