October 9 to 12,, 2013; Chilliwack and dog sitting

OCT  9, Wednesday, Chilliwack
Sunny but cold this morning!  I got a call from Kevin first thing this morning asking me to go help his helper hook up the trailer in the yard as he has a bad back so that was my first duty of the day!  After a quick shower I took the Jeep to O’Connor Chrysler dealership which had a recall on a filter circuit for the airbags.  That took two hours and afterwards, we went to the Mall to drop off our bed comforter to be cleaned.  We picked up some groceries then went to TIM HORTON for lunch.  We came home and had dinner with Hayley as she showed up at 4 PM, just in time for dinner; she is now living in a condo with her friend.  They’re all grown-up now!  In the evening, the four of us went to the Theatre to watch GRAVITY in 3-D.  It was quite impressive and I liked the special effects.  We came home, watched the tube for a while and we went to bed by 11 PM

 

OCT  10, Thursday; time to wash the rig
I got a bill from SHAW for next month however I have put this account on “Vacation” so I called them and after checking I was told to disregard it; the account is being put to sleep as of Oct 16 for 6 months.  Rochelle had to go to Costco in Abbotsford so we accompanied her and ended buying stuff that we couldn’t live without including the last book from Wilbur Smith.  Rochelle had to be back at the office by one o’clock because of an important meeting so we had a quick lunch at TIM HORTON and drove back.  I washed the MH then filled the water tank.  Amazing how quickly it gets empty!!?    At 3 PM, we went to visit Hayley in her new apartment in Vedder Crossing.  She has a very nice and clean place in a new complex.  We also took a drive to see Vanessa’s place in a new sub-division on the way to Cultus Lake, she wasn’t home.
We had BBQ’ed steaks for dinner and K & R’s friends, Russ and Cathy, joined us and so did grand-daughter Hayley.  After dinner, we proceeded to try tequila and different wines...how crazy!!  Hayley didn’t stick around but went back to her place (couldn’t stand these crazy old folks).  Around 10 pm, Vanessa showed up and proceeded to make some cupcakes but by this time, everyone was leaving.  She has a side business and makes cupcakes for weddings and parties.  We got to bed around midnight.  I think everyone will have a hang-over tomorrow, it was a fun evening though!

 

OCT  11, Friday; Chilliwack
Yep....hung over and sunny to make it brighter!!!  We had a very late start this morning.  We went to town to check on a couple things that didn’t pan out then went to the shop but Kevin wasn’t there so came home.  I slept for a couple hours then we went to the Jolly Miller Pub to meet Val’s cousin Travis and his wife Carol.  We had a great reunion, a nice dinner but as all other good things, it had to come to an end.  We said our goodbyes then came home.  We watched the tube with Rochelle for a while but I soon called it quit for the night

 

OCT  12, Saturday; Dog sitting and more visiting
We got up to another beautiful and warmer day.  We spent the day helping Rochelle getting the house ready for the dinner tomorrow.  Hayley and Vanessa came over at different times for a visit.  I washed Rochelle’s windows and the rig and vacuumed the floor in the house.  We sat outside for coffee and cupcakes made by Vanessa and babysat Buddy and Billy, Jeffrey’s dogs that Debbie dropped off at the house earlier.  They are spending the night with us; hopefully there won’t be any “accidents”.  We had pizzas for dinner then watched the movie “Jack Reacher” and called it a night around 10 PM.
