This is getting boring...3 days of constant rain now, it can stop anytime! We spent the day in the house again, it never let up the whole day and we had strong winds from the West too. We went to Ruth and Dennis’ place for Happy Hour and she served homemade pizza and jalapeno filled with cheese; both were a success and delicious! We came home at 7 pm forfeiting dinner as we were full. Watched the tube for a while then bedtime!
SUNSHINE!!! Yes we got up to it albeit a few clouds around too but at least it is sunny! I went to Ed and borrowed his chain saw and proceeded to cut the stumps left from my neighbour pulling and breaking away the trees behind us. I stopped for lunch and surprise!!!! IT began to rain and never stopped for the rest of the day. I’ll have to finish the job another day but at least I got most of the stumps. HH was at Ed & Judy today.
Cloudy but there is blue sky in the West and the sun is trying to shine through! I helped cleaning our compound in the morning, cutting down cotton trees and low brush. Donna and Marcel hauled all the stuff at the top of the hill where there is a big burn pile. We had lunch then in the afternoon, I went behind our place and cut down two more cotton trees, cleaned the chain saw and returned it to Ed. HH was at Marcel’s place then in the evening, we had a fire and George and Paulette joined us. The sun did come out in the afternoon and warmed us all. Around 9 pm, Ron and Theresa arrived from the coast for the week-end. They bought a Park Model which will be delivered next week so they are here to empty their 5th-wheel.
Back to rain this morning but did eventually stopped and the rest of the afternoon was warm but cloudy. Val did some Tai-Chi with Kelly across the road from us. Jack and Mim came out to Ed and Judy so we went over for a visit. I had to get more propane today; I’ll be glad when the temperature warms up more in the morning. Spaghetti for dinner then watched the tube.
The sun is out one more time albeit with lots of clouds around. This was a relaxing day (as if we need it!?). I went for my morning walk, took Tucker for his and Val did some Tai-Chi with Kelly. B&G and M&D worked around the compound some more. Some feel that it is a waste of effort as there is no guarantee that the compound will be ours in the end and personally I think it should be the contractor doing that work, not us. Anyway, the effort is appreciated and we do want to keep a positive outlook on things too! Ron and Theresa left right after lunch; they have signed all the papers and made arrangements for delivery of their Park Model next Saturday. We had HH at our place as it was sunny but the wind was a bit cool. For dinner, it was spaghetti! I got a call from my brother Johnny; he wants us to come down to the coast on Wednesday so that we can have a bit more time together so after discussing it, we will try to do it.
9 days left to our departure!

Hello Claude and Valerie,
I've been checking out your blog, and reading about all the cool places you've stayed at over the years. It sure looks like you both have had a wonderful time as full-time RVers!
My name is Rachel and I work for a relatively new (and awesome!) company, RVC Outdoor Destinations. And I would like to invite you both (and your pets too!) to come stay at one of our RV Destinations sometime in the future. We'd love to have you!
Now, who we are (in case you're wondering): RVC Outdoor Destinations is trying to redefine traditional camping and take it to the next level with our unique outdoor vacation concept that includes upgraded facilities and hotel-like amenities. RVC lets travelers enjoy some of the country’s most beautiful natural settings and recreational areas on their own terms by offering a variety of affordable lodging options, such as RV sites, yurts, cabins and cottages, all with a consistent level of quality. But what really sets RVC apart is the upscale amenities it offers at each of its properties, such as a concierge service, free wi-fi and cable, a coffee, beer and wine bar, fitness centers and modern swimming pools.
Most of our properties offer fun rentals (kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boards, etc.) for guests who enjoy being active outdoors and/or are located close to state and national parks that offer plenty of hiking, biking, and wildlife watching opportunities. All our properties are big-rig and pet friendly too! If you want more information or just to check us out, feel free to visit our website at www.rvcoutdoors.com.
We currently have 7 RVC locations in 5 states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina...and I know you are currently staying up in British-Columbia but we'd love for you to come on down and visit us in the future the next time your in the states.
So what do you think? Are you interested at all? You can contact me at rohara@rvcoutdoors.com. I hope you are enjoying your time back in Lee Creek, and I can't wait to hear back from you!
Safe travels,
