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!

February 15 to 18, 2013; Routine stuff

FEB  15, Friday, Weslaco
Val is still not feeling 100% so she didn’t make the exercises this morning.  It is sunny and going to mid 70’s today!  Val did make the “vegetable guy” who comes in the park every Friday with fresh vegetables and she bought what we needed or were short on.  Val, Judy and Louise went shopping to the local mall, Dave drove them there.  I fixed another “must do” on the rig; replaced the intake water inlet as the back-up valve was shot.  Dave and I went for lunch at Burger King.  Dave figured if his wife can go out for lunch, so can he! J  I picked them up at 4 pm and found that Val had been good and only spent $15, total.  We had HH at Ed’s place.
The day was sunny and warm but cooled off quickly once the sun went down.

 
FEB  16, Saturday, Geocaching
Sunny; we had a cold front come through overnight and the wind was quite strong (woke me up)...this morning all is quiet and it is already warming up, it went to 78*F (24*).  We went Geocaching in Harlingen.  We found 6 of them, two of which were really interesting; the first one was a Veteran’s Memorial at the Info Centre then we drove to the IWO JIMA Monument.  This one was located on a Military Marine school base.  The museum was interesting and full of pictures and the monument was huge and impressive.  We looked around some then went for lunch at Pizza Hut which was very noisy.  We decided to come home as it was getting late in the afternoon and got back in time for H.H at Louise and Dave.

 
FEB  17, Sunday, sunny & pleasant
Cloudy and very strong winds, we went up to mid 70’s.  Val did laundry and I read.  It was blowing so hard that everyone stayed home!  I downloaded a program for our income tax and began the process; now I wait for our mail to be forwarded so I can find out how much we get back or owe.

 
FEB  18, Monday, Mexico one last time!?
Sun, clouds and lots of winds today; temperature went up to mid 80’s F!  Val went for Line Dancing Lessons and I had one tank filled with propane @ $19.  Today is Audrey's birthday so we called her and wished all the best and Val chatted for a while.  We drove to Nuevo Progresso with Dave and Louise in their truck.  I spent over 2 hrs at the dentist while the crew went shopping; thank goodness we had enough time to eat first.  Dave went looking for some meds for his gout and found some then we came home in time for H.H at Ed’s place.  We had the A/C on for a while but now it’s off as the evening is cooling off quite nicely.
Eight days left to our departure!
