OCT 12, Wednesday
It was sunny and warm today although we did get rain later in the afternoon. We spent the day busying ourselves doing chores in preparation of our leaving. Flowers were pulled out, tree was pruned, took the gazebo apart and put it away including all the chairs, winterized the washing machine, put all the ornaments away that were outside, loaded the kayaks on the truck and put air in the tires and the airbags. Val did laundry and then went to Heather for a trim on her hair.
Marcel & Donna were at their new Park Model so we went over for Happy Hour and since they don’t have their propane set up yet, we invited them over to our place for dinner and afterwards, bored them with our pictures.
It poured rain for about 20 minutes in the latter part of the afternoon and I do mean “poured rain”, coming down in buckets but after, the sun came out and made things all better.

It is definitely time to leave soon! We got up to frost this morning on the vehicles and grounds. I got a call from our wine maker that our lot is ready to be bottled so I made an appointment for tomorrow. Val went to Kamloops with Gail and Donna and I went to Salmon Arm to pick up our mail and got an oil & lube done on the car. Once home, I went over to Marcel’s place to join both him and Bob in putting up the skirting around the Park model. The girls got home around 4:15 pm and we had H.H at Bob and Gail. Ed and Judy also joined us; they are leaving tomorrow for southern destinations.
It was a sunny and warm (16*C) all day and the forecast is for more frost tonight.
5 days to our departure!
OCT 14, Friday
A crispy morning but it did warm up in the afternoon. I loaded the rest of the food and paper materials in the rig, went to Chase and picked up our wine in bladders, had our mail forwarded to UPS in Salmon Arm, got some US $ and last but not least, bought flowers and a card for Donna & Marcel’s new home.
I helped Bob putting skirting around D&M’s Park Model but had to stop when we ran out of treated 2X4 for the base. Val had gone shopping with Donna and while she was out Joanne and Don from Logan Lake showed up for a quick visit. Don bought a new truck and was pulling their boat back to their house in Logan Lake.
Happy hour at D&M and Donna cooked a stew for everyone; there were 5 couples total and a good time was had by all. We came home around 7:30 pm, watched a bit of TV then went to bed. I called Jeffrey earlier and made arrangements about coming down. ED and Judy were supposed to leave today but he woke up with a very bad cold so they have postponed their departure.
4 days to our departure!
