May 17 to 20, 2013; Annual meeting and surprised visitors

MAY  17, Friday: to Kamloops
We got a recall last year about the car’ exhaust system so I had made an appointment with Hyundai and Val took the car to them in Kamloops while I worked on our toilet.  I took it apart and changed all the seals then put it back together.  It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be!  I washed the seat covers and floor mat so everything in there is like new!!!  I took our portable BBQ apart and cleaned that, it was very dirty after a year of usage.  Val got back around 4 pm happy as she also got her radio working again; it was a fuse behind the dash, nothing simple of course.  We got a call from our friends Glenda telling us they are in Vernon and will pop-in tomorrow...that’s wonderful!  We had HH with Donna and Marcel then Val cooked fish, Yellow Tail Tuna, which turned out absolutely wonderful.

 
MAY  18, Saturday, Annual Meeting
Ron and Theresa, our neighbours, arrived late last night from the Coast.  It is cloudy today!  At 9 am I went to help set up the tents for the meeting this afternoon.  We were just about finished when friends Glenda and Terry showed up with their rig.  I told them where to park and that I would be over soon, in the meantime they visited with Val.  We had a nice reunion and as we were chatting, Charlotte and Rudieger showed up; they are staying at the Egmont Hotel visiting friends over there and surprised us with a visit.  It was really nice seeing them.  They only stayed for about an hour then left.  We had lunch then we went to attend our General Meeting which lasted until 4 pm.  I think it was more productive than last year!  We came back to our place and had HH with G&T.  A few people came over and were introduced.  At 6 pm, we drove to the Salmon Arm Golf and Country Club and had a marvellous seafood dinner for only $26.  We were a bit early so sat outside and had a couple drinks.  Eight couples showed and fun was had by all.  Val drove home.  We called it quit around 10 PM as everyone was tired.

 
MAY  19, Sunday, Lee Creek
It turned out to be sunny today with a few cloudy periods and a little cool when the sun went away but we did manage to wear shorts for a while.  Val had to help Donna cook some turkeys and potatoes for tonight’s dinner so Glenda volunteered to help.  Terry and I went over to visit Marcel and I ended up getting suckered into mashing the potatoes so afterwards, we both got out of there before we ended up with more work.  Terry and I went for a walk around the Park and the waterfront then we relaxed under the awning at our place.  Soon it was HH then dinner.
Dinner was paid for by the Developer as an appreciation token.  It was held at the front where we had our meeting yesterday and the tents were still up.  The dinner was a success: turkey, mash potato, green, yellow vegetables, carrots, 3 different salads, buns and desert.  It was delicious!  There were well over 50 people over there which contributed to the success.
We came back to our place full and sat out and had a fire to end a perfect day!

 
MAY  20, Monday,
We woke up to a beautiful blue sky and sunshine but unfortunately, it soon clouded over.  Glenda and Terry left around 9:30 am and Val did laundry after they left.  A few people that were over for the week-end also left in the early part of the afternoon.  We had lunch with Donna (left-over turkey from yesterday) and visited Ron and Theresa new Park Model then they visited our home.  HH was at our place and we had 8 people over.  Dinner than we watched a movie
