October 5 to 8, 2013; Langley to Chilliwack, BC

OCT  5, Saturday, Langley.
The day began cloudy but soon became sunny.  We had our showers in the house then breakfast.  Jeff and I went to his shop with the MH and Val did some laundry and visited with Debbie.  At the shop, we finished the closet, made a drawer for our side table and change the desk around so that the drawers are facing the aisle.  We also put a new and wider countertop.  It was quite a bit of work and took us about 3 hours to complete.  At one point, we stopped and went to TIM HORTON for coffee and a quick bite to eat.  We finally wrapped it up and came home, had shower and at 7 PM, we all went out for dinner; my way of paying them back.  We called it quit around 9:30 pm and went to bed.

 
OCT  6, Sunday, Visit with Jenaya, McKinley and family
A beautiful sunny day greeted us this morning!  We left early for Burnaby where Jenaya is playing her soccer game.  We got there just as the game was ending due to block left turns from Hwy 1 on Easting Street all the way to way past Boundary.  This was due to a bike parade as it just happened to be the Ride a Bike Toy Collection and thousands of enthusiastic riders were out in force.  So we finally arrived and got to spend some quality time with the grand-kids in the Park playground.  From here, we drove to John and Joanne’s house where we spent the rest of the day and evening.  We had a marvellous time with the kids and John cooked a turkey for dinner with all the trimmings; the dinner was delicious.  The girls were a lot of fun today and full of mischief.  We had lots of laughs.  We even went for a walk in the Park; it was a beautiful warm and sunny day.  As we left at 10 PM, it was raining and we drove in it pretty well the whole way.  It was a great day and we enjoyed our visit.

 
OCT  7, Monday; Back to Langley
Still raining this morning but the sun did come out!  I called VIRGIN MOBILE this morning and reduced my plan effective Nov 6 and confirmed that Val’s phone plan will be cancel on Oct 16!  We took a drive to town to pick up some wine then came home and read for a while before joining Debbie.  Jeffrey got home around 5 pm then we had lasagna for dinner then watched football and the “Black list”. 

 
OCT  8, Tuesday; To Chilliwack
It rained this morning but we did have some sunshine later in the afternoon.  We slowly packed up, said our goodbyes to Debbie then got back on Hwy 1 and headed East to Chilliwack.  I stopped at TRADE MASTER to have the lights fix on the Jeep and discovered it was a relay switch which was promptly replaced and now all is well.
We visited with Rochelle and Kevin after setting up in their driveway and Kevin left us around 4 pm to go to Vancouver with his friend Russ to watch the Canucks game.  We even saw him on TV!   How neat can that be!!!  Rochelle cooked lasagna which was delicious.  Oh, and Vanessa came by and visited for about 15 minutes.  It was great to see her!
