We got up to rain this morning! Val phoned her daughter and made arrangement to see the kids. We read for a while and at 3 pm, we drove to Coquitlam to visit Val’s grand-kids Jenaya and McKinley. We ordered in Chinese food for dinner and had a very nice visit with everyone. After the kids were in bed, at 9 pm, we came home after saying our goodbyes. Rochelle & Kevin were still up when we got home but not for long as we went to bed shortly after.
Cloudy this morning but no rain so far! Rochelle cooked breakfast for father’s day and it was DELICIOUS! She made French bread and “toad on a bun” which is a cut out round part of the bread, then soaked in the batting then put on the grill with an egg in the middle where it was cut out. Once cooked, you put the cut out part on top of the egg and VOILA!!! It was a success, one of Kevin’s favorite and now mine! Unfortunately, Graeme didn’t show up and Hayley was sick and didn’t feel like breakfast but Jeffrey did show up which made it a bonus. Jeff was down in Chilliwack to play floor hockey with friends so left soon after. At 12:30 pm the four of us went to Kevin’s parents (Sid & Vera) for his birthday, he just turn 65 so we celebrated two events in one day...his birthday and father’s day! After cake and ice cream, it was time for us to say our goodbyes and hit the road back to Lee Creek. It rained on and off most of the way; we stopped in Merritt for coffee at Tim Horton, in Kamloops for fuel and wine and were home by 6 pm. We unloaded and packed away everything then took Tucker for a walk. Val decided to go to go Donna and spent some time there; I caught up to the blog and pictures
It poured rain overnight but right now, it’s cloudy! After breakfast and morning toiletry, we loaded the kayaks and the bikes, the last two items to load. I went to Chase and bagged up our homemade wine then back to Sorrento to pick up our meds. The rest of the day was just relax until 4 pm when our get-together and pot luck at Donna and Marcel. The sun finally came out to warm us a bit.
The potluck dinner was a success! There were 18 people out to share in the meal and to say their goodbyes. It’s great to have such fantastic friends! We came home by 8 pm and to bed by 9.
Cloudy with some rain throughout the day! We left at 8:40 am; Donna came over to say goodbye. We stopped in Salmon Arm to dump at Save-on-Foods (we are leaving in time as the water and sewer system were shut down as of today due to extremely high water levels on the lake; the park is partly flooded in some places) then to OK Tire to have the slow leak repaired on the rear wheel on BEAR, they didn’t charged us anything, quite nice of them. We went on to UPS to pick up our mail then to JAVA JIVE to have our usual breakfast sandwich. Finally we hit the road for good after fuelling @ $1.24. There was very little traffic which was nice however when we hit the Alberta border, that all changed. Lots of constructions and verrrrrryyy slooooow, stop and go for about 10 miles!
We
stopped in Cremona on Hwy 22 for fuel @ $1.11/litre. In Golden, BC, it was 1.37/litre so I had
only put in $50 worth. We arrived in
Olds at 7:30 pm local time. Audy had
dinner ready for us so we had dinner and caught up to all the news. We are here until Sunday, inclusive.
We travelled 653 Km (403
miles) in 7 hrs and 40 minutes @ an average 51 MPH and were stopped for 2 hours
