About Me

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!

February 22 to 26, 2012;Stolen truck and vet. visit

FEB  22, Wednesday, follow-up with veterinary
We went to the Vet after Val got home from her Tai-Chi; all is well with him and the ear infection is pretty well all gone.  We stopped at “JJ’s” for a taco and ended up getting a BARICHI SOUP...delicious with beef and spiced just nicely, tortilla de harina (flour) to go along with the soup!  YUM! YUM!!
A hot day today...26*C by 1 pm and no wind to speak of!  We went for a walk on the beach and it was very nice.  Quite a few people too!  At 5 pm, the ten of us went to JOEY in the San Carlos Plaza by Algodones dunes and beach.  We had a lovely dinner of all you can eat pasta with a choice of Alfredo or Ragu or Marinara or Bolognese sauces, a glass of wine, bread, two tequilas for happies prior to eating and it cost us 395 pesos plus tip (approx. $35 Cdn), INCREDIBLE~!  We came home in time to watch “SURVIVOR”; Pat came over to watch it with us.


FEB  23, Thursday, Truck found
Another lovely day, 20*C by 9 am!  We spent the day relaxing (as if we need it!?) then went to Guaymas to get Val’s bracelet.  Unfortunately the jeweller wasn’t there and the two girls had absolutely no clue as to what we wanted even though we spoke a little Spanish.  Quite ignorant!!!  Once we were back home, we got Jose at the office to phone them and found out that the bracelet would be ready by tomorrow morning.  Happy Hour then dinner...steak and Greek salad.  The wind came from the south which brought more moisture and became quite cold once the sun is near the horizon; we all went inside quickly!


FEB  24, Friday, truck found
After Val went to TAI-Chi, we went to Guaymas but first stopped at the “Lot” to drop off Cathy’s birthday card.  We learned that Craig and Cathy got a call from OBREGON police, about an hour south of here, that they have their truck but there has been quite a bit of damage done to it.  They also found their passport and some of the important papers.  The insurance still hasn’t phoned them back so they are waiting for them before doing anything. The saga continues!
We went to The EDGE for lunch then to Guaymas to pick up Val’s bracelet and some milk.  Happy Hour then home for dinner: fish, salad and trimmings.  It was a warm day...28*C and little wind.  Fire in the evening!


FEB  25, Saturday, Rescate Bazaar
We went for breakfast at TORRO’s this morning for 65 pesos each (approx $4.50) then we walked to the bazaar.  This is a local event and there are all kinds of things for sale and burgers and beer for sale too.  We spent about an hour there then came home and did more relaxing.  It’s really hot today with little wind...about 30* C in the shade!  Some of our crew went to the beach and others just stayed home too.  Val and Pat decided to walk to Pillar and back, about one hour walk return.  Happy Hour at 4:30 pm then dinner


FEB  26, Sunday, another hot day
Val did laundry this morning.  It is 26*C at 1 pm.  We went into town for a while then came home.  Val went for a beach walk with Joyce and I had a snooze.  Happy H at 4:30 and dinner and a quiet night at home.
