About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
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!

March 5 to 8, 2012; Birthdays and readying to leave

MAR  5, Monday, My Birthday and the Kirkby’s departure
Another beautiful sunny and warm day!  The Kirkby’s left this morning at 9 am; the park is really becoming emptier by the day.  Val said her goodbyes then went for Tai-Chi.  Units from the south come in for a day or two then leave, taking along one or two of the Units who spent the winter here.  Some folks like travelling in group for security sake.  It was a quiet day otherwise.  We have a new neighbour behind us; Ron and Anna, friends of Leo & Lynn.  Val and I, along with Joyce and Bill, went for lunch at “JJ’s” for torta and lancha (tortilla with diced pork, delicious) then cycled back home.  I had a short snooze (I am over 65 now after all) then Happy H.  The group is down to 6 now but two more joined us; Ron and Anna from Alberta.  For dinner, Val cooked my favourite dinner: meat balls, gravy, mashed potatoes and vegetables with a salad on the side...what more can you ask for at 65!???


MAR  6, Tuesday, Tucker haircut
We dropped off Tucker at the groomer at 11 am and he should be ready by 2 pm.  Val washed small runner carpets and Tucker’s blanket and his bedding.  The crew decided to go to “The Edge” for a hamburger so we tagged along.  Leo was out fishing this morning but didn’t catch anything.  I bought a kilo of Sea Bass fish and ordered 2 kilos of shrimp for Saturday; stocking up before leaving.  Val went for more Tai-Chi at 4 pm, Happy H at 4:30 then dinner and a quiet night at home


MAR  7, Wednesday, 5 days left in San Carlos!
 A fairly quiet day, Val went for Tai-Chi in the morning then we went to town to get some more vegetables and meat both at Tony and Santa Rosa.  Val was busy visiting people and I was busy getting things ready for the big wash day tomorrow and starting to clean some of our stuff...everything is full of dust!  Leo, Al and Ron and their wife of course, went clamming today.  All of us, including Joyce and Bill, went to JOEY for two for one drinks and all you can eat pasta for 100 pesos (approx $8 Cdn).  We came home in time to watch “Survivors” at 9 pm (8 in BC)


MAR  8, Thursday, wash day!
We got the Bear and the Beast washed today, now I can start loading the truck.  We went to “JJ’s” for taco and lanchas (pork served on a toasted tortilla) then to the bank to get some cash for next week.  We came home and I loaded more stuff after washing it.  Happy H then a quiet evening at home.
