We said goodbye to Shannon and Irais and were on the road by 8:40 AM! We drove west on Hwy 1 to Chilliwack and got off at Yale Road to ROADMASTER where we left the Jeep and the MH to have the Base Plate installed on the Jeep. We got the vehicles back at 3 PM but he didn’t install the hitch at the back of the Jeep so will have to come back. We went for breakfast in a small place just down the road then Rochelle picked us up and we drove to her place after visiting Kevin in the new shop on Young St. I also made an appointment for the MH at Green Acres for a wheel alignment. We drove to the house and visited with Rochelle and read for a while. After picking up the vehicles, Val drove home while I went to O’CONNOR to dump the tanks then came to the house and parked. We had steak and potatoes with vegetables for dinner then Vanessa and Garrett came over for a visit. She is all brown as they went to CANCUN for two weeks. Hayley came over earlier and we caught up to her news too. We had a nice visit with them all and look forward seeing them again.

Cloudy but it cleared later in the morning. A relaxing day for us; Val did laundry and I filled the water tank. We spent the day relaxing, sleeping and reading. Rochelle got home at 4 PM, Kevin around 5 PM and Jeffrey and Debbie arrived about that time too. We visited while having happy hour then Val cooked a vegetable stir fry with chicken. Everyone devoured it in no time (it was popular) then, after clearing the table, we sat around chatting until Jeff and Debbie had to leave for home (they live in Langley, about 40 minutes from here). We soon after went to bed after clearing the table and putting everything in the dishwasher.
We took Tucker for his haircut around 10:30 AM. Afterwards, we went grocery shopping then picked up 5 coffee and tidbits at TIM HORTON and took the works to Kevin’s shop for everyone there. Everyone took a break then we left them to continue their work. We came home, unpacked and Val started preparing the lasagna dinner for later. I set a couple traps for mice as we have found evidence of an unwanted guest. I had bought a couple of different gourmet sausages so I cut them up and served them for HH. Johnny, Irais and Shannon arrived around 6 PM so we served dinner then visited afterwards for a while. They left around 9 PM and we all called it quit about an hour later. It was a very nice and warm day!
RAIN! But it did clear up later in the afternoon. We read for a good part of the morning and I also did some minor repair inside. Our investor came over to discuss a few things and to have a look at our new rig. In the afternoon, I took the jeep back to TRADEMASTER and had the receiver installed at the back. We joined Kevin and Rochelle for a drink then Hayley and her boyfriend Brad came over and joined us. We all went out for dinner at “ORIGINAL JOE” for dinner. Vanessa and Garrett work there so she served us. Dinner was great and Vanessa bought our table a chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. We came home and everyone went to their own bed so we came home and I worked on my blog.
Sid and Vera (Kevin’s parents) came over this morning so we visited with them for a while then we left for Langley where Jenaya (Val’s grand-daughter) was playing soccer. After her games, we drove over the new Portman Bridge which is now toll, to John and Joanne’s house in Coquitlam. We had lunch and visited with McKinley, what a little darling. Jenaya is working on a science project that has to do with salt, water and the effects of it in caves. She was building a mock-up she proudly showed us. For dinner, we had BBQ chicken and salad with BBQ vegetables. We finally left around 9:30 and were home by 11 PM. It was a great visit.
Cloudy and windy but the sun did shine through from time to time. We went to town then basically stayed around the house and read and napped. Rochelle invited Sid and Vera for dinner and she served chicken and vegetable and Sid’s famous potato salad. We visited for a while then they went home and so did we soon after.
