JUL 23 to 31; Sister and brother in Law arrived
from Montreal, Quebec.
We went to Kamloops today (Tuesday) to pick up Val’s eye contacts and a few groceries. It is very hot out there, at least 35-36*C
and it is forecasted to last until at least Saturday.
Wednesday
we went boating with Bob and Gail on their boat. We swam and cooled off nicely for about 3
hours. It was great, we even got Val and
Gail on a float and drag behind the boat.
A lot of fun was had by all. It
was a good way to beat the heat!
Back to work on Thursday and in the evening, I spoke with Jeffrey, Rochelle, Kevin,
Debbie (Jeff girlfriend), and Therese and Michel from Montreal (my sister and
brother-in-law). They arrived yesterday
and Jeff was having a BBQ in their honor tonight. It is so nice to see my little family
together like that; I wish I could have been there.
Friday
was payday for both of us, I worked an hour overtime because of a load of
firewood came in late and I had to stick around to let him in and lock up after
him and then do the last run of refuse pick-up.
We woke up Saturday
to very strong winds and cooler temperature (below 30*C) which made for a nice
change.
Sunday
we had some sprinkle but nothing to make things really wet. Bob and Gail joined us at the Scotch Creek
Pub for the famous “Sunday Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding”; absolutely
delicious and cooked to perfection!
Donna and Marcel joined us as we were just to leave. We left but B&G stayed back to keep them
company.
Monday,
our “Friday”, was very warm, sunny
and a few clouds in the afternoon. HH at
our place with Bob & Gail and Ed & Judy! Morris and his wife Brenda were in the park
visiting everyone. It was good seeing
them; they used to own the lot next to Donna and Marcel but due to unfortunate
circumstances, they had to sell. There
is a lot of discontentment around due to uncertainties which won’t be resolve
until the owner goes to court in September against CSRD, the Political Regional
Body.
Tuesday,
our first day off, Val went to Tai-Chi class in Chase with Gail and Donna then
afterwards we went to Salmon Arm for our mail and some groceries. I talked to Jeff who will now bring up my
sister and husband on Aug 10 and spend a couple nights with us. T&M will have Brooks’ trailer to stay in
for 4 nights. Very warm today, 30*+ C
Wednesday,
the 31st, another month gone by.
Sunny and very warm, we’ve now had a whole month of sunshine with little
to no rain worth recording. We spent the
day dumping, washing vehicles, doing laundry and vacuuming the inside of our
house. HH was at our place again and
Dennis and Ruth joined us. For dinner,
we had Mahi-Mahi fish with rice then it was relaxing before work tomorrow!
