AUG 8 to 14, Gateway and visit from sister Therese
& Michel
Oooooooh,
another week of HOT weather!!!! 34*C
this Thursday and to top it all, I
had a lousy sleep last night and felt it today at work!!!
Friday was payday, here now,
gone a minute later paying bills!!!
Picked up some beer and wine for our guests arriving tomorrow.
Saturday, we went to work but I
quit early and got home to find sister Therese & Michel, son Jeff already
all set up and drinking beer with Val (Debbie had to work so couldn’t come). We had BBQ Steak, corn on the cob from
Chilliwack then sat around and caught up to news. Ed and Jack came over to discuss the trip to
the Baja and borrowed our book. Jack and
Mim came over to meet Therese and Michel before they left. Val went to bed early and I did around 11 pm.
Sunday was work again for both of
us but I once again got off earlier.
Jeffrey had T&M at the beach and by the time I showered, they were
home. We sat around and enjoyed the heat
of the day then BBQ’ed hamburgers for dinner
Monday, Jeffrey left early this
morning to go back home and work. While
Val was at work (I took the day off), I showed them our Park (Gateway) then we
went to Quaaout Lodge; they were quite impress.
We walked the beach then drove to the Provincial Park, chatted with Val
and her partner for a bit then I showed them around. We even walked around at the beach. We stopped for lunch at the Park Store then
came home. As we were driving home, the
sky began to cloud over and by the time we had Happy Hour with Bob and Gail,
the sky opened up and a deluge came down.
It lasted about an hour then cleared up but it sure cooled off the temperature,
so much so that we had to put jackets on in the evening, a first in almost two
months!!! For dinner we had pasta with
shrimps, delicious.
We
went to Salmon Arm on Tuesday for
our usual mail pick up and grocery shopping; I also had a doctor appointment to
attend. We went to see the Margaret
Falls but the trail was closed due to a tree falling during the storm last
night and it destroyed one of the bridges on the trail; so we went to the
waterfront walk-board in Salmon Arm instead then to the local pub in the hotel
where we had delicious ribs just like those in Logan Lake. We came home after picking up groceries and
more beer and had dinner (tacos with moose meat, delicious) then we sat outside
for our last evening together. Dennis
and Ruth came over for a while.
Wednesday, we drove Therese and
Michel back to Hope via a short visit through Logan Lake and a look at the
mine. We headed south on 97A to Merritt
where we stopped for a coffee at TIM HORTON and a small bit to eat. We arrived in Hope around 4:30 PM, had a beer
with Johnny and Irais then we said our goodbyes to Therese and Michel and
everyone else and headed home. We left
at 6:15 PM and arrived home at 9 PM after a stop in Kamloops for gas @ $1.24
and a hamburger in Chase. Val made her
lunch then we relax for a bit before going to bed and be ready for another week
of work. It’s been great having Therese
and Michel with us here at Gateway and I think they had a good time while here.
