OCT 9, Sunday, Thanks-Giving dinner
I was up early this morning and played with Val’s new e-reader, trying to figure it out for her. Everyone began arriving around noon and by 1 p.m everybody was here; 15 all together! The meal was a total success and Kevin gave thanks for our grand-kids for being wonderful and successful and made them his main theme on his yearly speech. Last year, it was the grand-parents. The meal consisted of a glazed ham, scallop potatoes, green vegetables and carrots, Rochelle’s famous jelly salad, another dish made with rice and other things, buns and red wine. For dessert, we had apple pie and/or pumpkin pie with ice cream. We had a marvellous family dinner filled with Love, laughter and good conversations.
Everyone went home around 4 pm and we just relaxed and digested our full day. What a wonderful family I have...I have been blessed more than I deserve!
OCT 10, Monday, to Val’s grand-kids in Coquitlam
We got a call from Joanne and made arrangements to go there by one pm. We spent the morning, reading, surfing on the net, showering and getting ready to leave. It is cloudy and raining this morning! We stopped at Staples first and return the tablet we bought two days ago and exchanged it for a KOBO E-Reader. We drove on to Coquitlam and couldn’t believe all the changes on the highway coming in...Lots of constructions and re-routing!
We had a marvellous visit with the kids and were amazed at the changes in Jenaya and how much more grown she is. McKinley was a bundle of joy for both of us and she made us laugh many times. We had dinner with them, Val played games with Jenaya and too soon, it was time to leave. Coming home, it was pouring in Vancouver making it hard to see the road and it finally subsided around Abbotsford. We got home at 11 pm and everyone was already in bed so we also hit the sack
OCT 11, Tuesday, back to Lee Creek
We got up early this morning to say goodbye to everyone, I played with my new KOBO for a while, showered and finally hit the road by 10 am. It rained all the way to the top of the Coquihalla Pass where the sun finally came out and the road dried out as we got closer to Merritt. We stopped in Kamloops at Costco to get a couple items then drove on home. In our park finally, we saw that Marcel and Donna got their new Park Model and after unpacking, we went over to help them cleaning and set up. Happy Hour was at Ed and Judith who also returned today from Saskatchewan. We came home, had dinner and relaxed from a fantastic week-end.
I have posted pictures in my latest folder!
