MAY 8, Sunday, Happy Mother’s Day!
Everyone got up late this morning! We had a delicious breakfast in a casserole and prepared yesterday. All the kids showed up around 10 am and we had a fun family breakfast. Graeme and Candice left first then Vanessa and Garrette as she had to work so that left 5 of us. Later in the afternoon, Rochelle and Valerie prepared the dinner, a roast with all the trimmings and Kevin’s parents, Sid & Vera, showed up around 4 pm. We sat around for a while and chatted then we had the dinner which was absolutely perfect. Si and Vera left around 8 pm and we watched the Amazing Race on TV then went to bed. IT was a perfect day!
MAY 9, Monday, Back to Lee Creek
We got up early to say our goodbyes to Rochelle and Hayley as they went to work and school respectively. After they left we showered, Kevin helped me load the freezer on the truck, we said our goodbyes then left. The ride back was uneventful except that once in Merritt, we took the old Hwy 5A which was a bit rough but very scenic in sceneries.
We arrived home around 2 pm and unloaded everything and parked the truck. Mim and Jack were in the park so they came over for a glass of wine, then Bob across the street showed up and eventually, George and Catherine with his new Ford F350. We learned that he sold his motorhome and bought a park model for his lot. WOW! The happy hour continued on until 8 pm then after everyone left, we had a quick light dinner as Val had served lots of happies while the crew was here. The sun was shining and it is much warmer.
MAY 10, Tuesday, Dr’s appoint. and to Logan Lake
We went to Chase early in the morning for eye appointments then did the laundry. After dropping everything at our place, we drove to Kamloops and made a stop at Costco where Val returned eye contacts that were malfunctioning. We then drove to Logan Lake to Lynden and Charlene, had a nice reunion then walked to the Black Bull Pub where we celebrated our friend Don’s 60th birthday. We had a room in the basement with our own bar and waitresses (2). There were about 50 people there. We had a great time and finally called it quit around 9:30 pm. We walked back to the Kirkby’s house as we had walked down to alleviate any problems with our drinking which we did freely.
We were in bad early as everyone was tired.
MAY 11, Wednesday, back to Lee Creek
We got up early only to find that it was raining. Yuck!! We left around 9 am after saying goodbye and drove to Costco in Kamloops where I gas up at $1.07/Litre. The amazing thing is that in Vancouver it is $1.44/L and the Barrel of oil is down to $99...go figure! We got home, put everything away then Val decided to vacuum the place so Tucker and I had to get out of the way.
After dinner, we watched Survivors and just as the program ended, our power went out in the whole Park, bummer!! Time to go to bed anyway; it’s raining outside.
MAY 12, Thursday, Lee Creek
Took Tucker for his haircut this morning; he looks like a totally different pooch now and much happier! Val had a couple of medical trip to make to Chase, nothing serious! It rained on and off most of the day, cleared later in the afternoon and we had a big dump later in the evening; just crazy weather! I did a couple of minor repairs/touch up inside the rig then it was time for Happy Hour. I have uploaded new pictures in folder: “SUMMER 2011”
MAY 13, Friday, Lee Creek
