July 27 to 31, 2011; Visit from Jeffrey

JUL 27, Wednesday,
Cloudy but warm all day with some sunny break; work for both of us! Val went to Costco in Kamloops in the afternoon to pick up some items including her eye lenses. We had a quiet evening at home today.


JUL 28, Thursday,
Is summer finally here? It was a beautiful day, blue sky all day and the temperature climbing to 26*C. My son Jeffrey arrived in the afternoon and after Happy Hour with a few couples from the Park, we took his boat to the launching pad to get it in the water; he will be sleeping there, at our dock. IT was early bed for me.


JUL 29, Friday
Beautiful day again! Work was crazy today, we have an employee off on WCB and there were only two of us to do it all but we managed! Val and Jeffrey hung around here most of the day and when I got home, I BBQ’ed hamburgers and corn on the cob from Abbotsford (Thanks to Ron and Theresa for bringing them in). Quiet evening at home and early to be for me


JUL 30, Saturday,
Sunny and warmer today! A few more people arrived late last night at Gateway. Val and Jeff spent the day sunning themselves while I slaved away earning a living! (YUCK!). Anyway, it wasn’t that hard a day and Happy Hour was waiting when I got home at Bob and Gail. I learned that Ed’s utility trailer which contained an ATV, a hunting rifle and all his hunting equipment was stolen during the night. He had two wheel locks and a hitch lock which were lying on the ground in the morning. A trailer with two skidoos was also taken so it looks like a well planned job. Nothing else was touched in the compound.


JUL 31, Sunday,
My day off! It rained overnight but now the sun is shining. I cooked pancakes for everyone this morning. Jeff decided to go home today so early afternoon, I took his truck and trailer to the park while him and Val took the boat. We loaded it and came back home. Soon after, Jeff left!
We had Happy Hour with Gail & Bob and Theresa and Ron who returned from their trip to Barker Ville with Marcel & Donna. For dinner, it was corn on the cob and chicken with salad. We sat with our neighbour Race by his fire in the evening and Brook came by for a visit with people from Germany.
Another month gone by!!
