About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

May 14 to 18, 2011; Lee Creek, Kamloops

MAY 14, Saturday, Lee Creek
The blog site was down yesterday so I uploaded it this morning. I spent some time checking out the Pension plan from Canada when we reached 65 in 10 months. Val went into town with her friend Donna to check out and drop off a few resume on prospective jobs in her expertise.
It is sunny this morning so time to go outside and do some chores.
For Happy Hour, Dan and Heather came over to join us. We had a nice visit and once they left at 7 pm, we had dinner then watch the tube.
I discovered extra charges on my visa that I suspect are fraud. They are from Mexico and the transactions took place at the beginning of this month!?? I reported them and my visa was put on hold until further notice. Great!

MAY 15, Sunday, Lee Creek
Sunny most of the day but with lots of clouds around, we had a lazy one and didn’t get mobile until late. We decided to take a day off so no work in our yard but we ended up at our neighbour helping him to shovel and rake gravel; so much for the day off!
At 3:30 pm, we went to George and Dorothy for happy hour with the rest of the neighbourhood (5 couples total). We came home around 5:30, cooked steaks and shrimps for dinner with a salad from a recipe of Rochelle then we watched the last episode of Survivor! “Boston Rob” won; no surprise there!


MAY 16, Monday, Lee Creek
It is raining today! Once again, we didn’t do much. I made a few calls and got an appointment with South Thompson RV for May 24. My excitement was to dump in the morning, the tanks that is!! I went to Sorrento to turn in our papers from Mexico on the trailer so we can get our insurance refunds


MAY 17, Tuesday, to Salmon Arm
We went to SA for a Dr’s appointment for Val. We also stopped to pick up our mail, went to Canadian Tire to exchange a couple items and ended up buying more stuff, did a grocery shopping then came home. We got our papers for Old Age Security so filled that up and will mail it tomorrow. BBQ’ed pork chops for dinner then we watched the tube.


MAY 18, Wednesday, to Kamloops
Val has an appointment at a specialist in Kamloops for some test so off we go. While there, we stopped at BCAA for a Passport picture and to turn in my papers on the truck to get a refund on our insurance while in Mexico. We went to the Federal Gov’t building and applied for my new passport and our OAS application papers. We made a stop at Walmart then it was time to return home. Fish and rice for dinner and by the way, it was sunny and very nice all day.
