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!

May 22 to 28, 2012; visit from Johnny and R&K

MAY  22, Tuesday, Lee Creek
After taking Tucker for his walk and mine, we drove to Salmon Arm to pick up our mail and groceries for the coming week-end.  We made a quick stop at the bank to deposit a refund on our insurance for Mexico then onward back home where we unloaded all the goodies.  I went over to Dennis and Ruth and gave him a hand digging two holes for new trees they bought. We had a quick HH at their place then came home for dinner and a TV evening.  I was in bed by 9:30 pm. 
It was sunny and warm today.


MAY  23, Wednesday
I went into Chase after walking Tucker to have a test done as ordered by my doctor then it was to the Post Office to register a letter to ICBC and finally, I picked up a couple movies for tonight.  Today was cloudy, windy and cool.  Val did laundry with her new washer and dryer and we watched a movie, “The Grey”.  After dinner, we watched “War Horse”


MAY  24, Thursday
A cloudy and cool day again.  I organized the front locker on “Bear” and reduced the containers to two from three; I got rid of bunch of stuff I hadn’t used in a long time.  Made a couple phone calls to insurances and family about this week-end.  Val worked in her garden and I took the movies back to Chase and got two new one.  Ron and Sheila came over for HH and to say goodbye as they are headed back to Calgary tomorrow and won’t see us again before we leave for the East; Marcel & Donna and Judy& Ed joined us also.  The wind became quite cold which put a tamper on our HH; it was really weird, it became strong form the North, quickly turned to the East then west and back to the North.  This lasted about 20 minutes.  Very strange, indeed!  Dinner then watched a movie after taking Tucker for his evening walk.  Also got a call from my brother Johnny saying that he would probably be here around noon tomorrow


MAY  25, Friday
We spent the day working around the place, cleaning, sweeping and more organizing.  Johnny arrived around 3 pm and after a short visit, we went over to Leonard and Therese’s place for HH; the rest of the crew was there of course.  We had a fire in the evening and a few neighbors joined which turned into a party of sort.  To bed around midnight


MAY  26, Saturday
Rochelle and Kevin arrives around 4 pm and we had a very nice dinner, the 5 of us; BBQ steaks and salad.  We rented the trailer next door for them.  In the evening, we had another fire and one more late night with neighbours.  I gave up at midnight and went to bed, the party was still going strong.


MAY  27, Sunday, finally, a quiet day!
Rochelle and Kevin left around 11 am after a pancake and fresh fruits breakfast.  We spent the day relaxing and took Johnny for a drive to the Margaret Falls.  We walked the whole trail to the fall and back to the lake.  Very nice!  We came home and had dinner out under the gazebo then it was a quiet evening and early night


MAY  28,  Monday, all visitors gone and to Vernon
Johnny left at 10:30 am and we headed to Salmon Arm to get a few things and to Vernon to talk to a broker for life insurance.  We came home after picking up our mail and groceries in Salmon Arm then came home.  After dinner, we watched tv and went to bed early again
