We left early as our appointments were at 10:20 am. It is a lovely day out, sunny and warm! After our doctor visit, we picked up our mail and had our usual breakfast sandwich and coffee at “JAVA JIVE”. We stopped in Cdn Tire to check on a couple things then to Rona. At 1pm we went the Vet and had Tucker checked out and found out he has a heart murmur!!! Nothing serious but needs monitoring. We stopped in Sorrento where I picked up our insurance for the truck, made arrangements at the Pharmacy for our drugs for the next 9 months then drove to Chase to the lab for Val (Salmon Arm had a half hour wait) then it was home for HH at Bob and Gail. Donna invited everyone for dinner and we had chicken stew; delicious! In the evening, we watched the last episode of “Hatkins & McLeod’s”, a true story of a deadly feud between two families in 1888.
We are going to the Coast tomorrow at my son’s place so this is our last day officially here at our site. We packed all the ornaments inside, all the stuff outside, put away in the shed the stuff that won’t be coming with us; the kayaks and bikes will be loaded next Monday. I went over to help Bob who is building a storage box for under his balcony. We had some drizzle in the afternoon but the sun did come out in time for HH. We now have a new system on the perimeter gate that requires a remote; we got two! HH was at George and Paulette this evening. We had a nice visit and came home around 7 pm, in-between rain falls.
We were up by 8 am and after coffee, we packed the last few things, loaded the truck, hooked “Bear” and moved it to Allan’s lot for the week-end so that our renter can move on this week-end. We drove to Sorrento about our meds than to Langley. We stopped in Kamloops for breakfast and at BCCAA for truck insurance.
We arrived at Jeffrey’s place at 4pm. It rained most of the way except Merritt where it was sunny and surprisingly, it wasn’t raining but in fact, the sun was out! WOW! My brother John cooked us steak, lobster and crab for dinner, it was DELICIOUS! Afterwards, we proceeded to drink which turned out to be too much for me; I got quite drunk.
Woke up with a hang over this morning and a cloudy and much cooler day! After a hearty breakfast with Johnny (Jeff had already left for work), we packed and came back to Chilliwack to my daughter Rochelle & husband Kevin. First, though, we stopped at the Mall as Val needed hair stuff. We visited friend Murielle who lost her husband of 55 years just 4 months ago. She misses him greatly. We came back to the house at 5 pm and after HH, we all went out for dinner then came home and proceeded to drink wine (moderately). Hayley, Vanessa and husband Garrette joined us and we had a nice family gathering.
A beautiful sunny day, finally! Hayley went to school for the last time. We had an appointment in town and attended that then we went for lunch. The rest of the day, until 3 pm, was doing baking, cooking, preparing and setting out all the food for the gathering. At 3 pm, everyone arrived including Jeff and Johnny and we had a great visit and devoured the delicious meal. Vanessa made her famous cupcakes and they didn’t last long. At 5 pm, we headed out to the hall for Hayley’s “Commencement”. There were 180 students graduating and the whole thing lasted until 9:15 pm. Our girl got her certificate and a scholarship to boot. We were all very proud of her. We came home and had a few glasses of wine, toasted our new “Grad” and had laughter and joy as a family. We went to bed at 1 am!
