June 10 to 13, 2013; Chilliwack to Langley, BC

JUN  10, Monday, CHWK
A sunny day!  We went to visit Vanessa & Garrett’s new house; Very nice!  It has three bedrooms on a 3 level townhouse overlooking the Chwk valley.  We had a nice visit but soon had to leave as they had to go to work.  We drove to TIM HORTON and picked up 3 coffees then on to Kevin and Rochelle’ new shop.  The new sign is up above the entrance and looks great and the front entrance is pretty well finish and also looks great.  We are so proud of them!  We came home and read until the kids were home then had dinner: BBQ’s ribs, a Greek salad.  It was all delicious and then proceeded to empty 3 bottles of wine then the girls  turned to gin and tonic.  Finally went to bed at 10 PM

 
JUN  11, Tuesday; Wheel alignment
We were up by 7 AM and drove to GREEN ACRES where I had a wheel alignment done on  “Little Beaver”.  They recommended that I have the tires rotated so I took it to FOUNTAIN TIRE and had that done too.  I brought our “Baby” back home, parked and hooked up.  We read for the rest of the day; although it was sunny, this was not a warm day.  For dinner, Val made her famous meatball and mash potatoes which was a success with Kevin.  We watched a movie in the evening then went home to bed.

 
JUN  12, Wednesday; CHWK, spare key cut
It rained overnight and cloudy this morning!  Val did a load of laundry and I filled the water tank again.  We also discovered that there is still a leak at the toilet bowl; very frustrating.  Anyway, we went to town to “Liquor Store” where they were having a sale on some wine so we bought some.  We also bought one for dinner tonight.  We stopped at O’Connor Jeep and Chrysler and I had a spare key cut for the Jeep.  Rochelle cooked us a delicious pork medallion in an orange sauce which was absolutely delicious.  Val made a salad and rice for the dish.  Their friends, Russ and Cathy, were also present and we had a great evening laughing.  We finally went to bed by midnight.

 
JUN  13, Thursday; To Langley
We were up by 7 AM, showered, walked Tucker then we drove to “Mark’s Worldwear” and bought shorts for ourselves and a frock for me to work around.  We had a quick coffee at T.H., picked a couple coffees for R & K then drove to the shop to hand them their coffees.  We said our goodbyes, drove back to the house, got the M.H. and drove to “O’Connor’s” to dump.  We finally got on Hwy 1 and drove West to North Langley to Jeffrey’s shop where him and I proceeded to take the washing machine out and built shelves in there then we tore the shelve off in the bedroom and began constructing a closet.  We got the wood cut and called it quit as it was 6 pm by then.  We had a beer, a chat then drove to Jeffrey’s house where Debbie cooked us a great dinner of spare ribs (Jeff’s favorite).  We sat and chatted for a while then it was time for an early bed as everyone was tired.  Jeff’s new home (rented) is great looking and well situated in a very quiet area.  It has three bedrooms and a very nice yard for the dogs (they have two).
