About Me

Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing.

November 8 to 10, 2013; last of Algodones and visit with Kirkby's

NOV  8, Friday, Algodones
Back to Mexico one more time but only for an hour this time then came back home.  We had breakfast then we went into town to pick up final items before heading to Mexico for the winter.  We stopped at the RV Store where Val wanted a knife holder and I picked up extra sewer treatment liquid.  We came home, put everything away then relaxed with a good book.  In the evening, we watched TV and tried to figure out our new DVR.

 
NOV  9, Saturday, Winterhaven
We went in & out of Algodones for one last time and to pay our bill.  Today was “Day of the Deads” and a big celebration was going on when we arrived.  Lots of free stuff including Tequila and beers!  We paid our dental bill (cash only) and were back in the USA within an hour and a half.  We went back to the RV Store to return an item, stopped at the Post Office to mail a card then came home only to find out that the water will be out until possibly Wednesday!?  Bloody hell!!!  Good thing my tank is almost full of fresh water.  It’s getting hotter out there, already well over 80*F at 1 pm.  After dinner, we watched the first DVD of “Pillars of the Earth”.  Denis was right, I am hooked!

 
NOV  10, Sunday; Visiting
Cloudy this morning but the sun did eventually shine through in the early part of the day and became quite hot!  Uploaded more pictures on our PICASA WEB, folder #108.  We went to Imperial Dam, a little over a half hour drive from here, to visit the Kirkby’s who are there for the winter.  Charlie made us lunch then we all walked to the “girls” site to meet and visit.  They are friends they met a couple years ago and after telling them about this area, they decided to move here.  We also saw the new site the Kirby’s will be moving to next week; quite a nice view of the lake and the surrounding hills.  Tucker had a great time wondering on his own, I think!  We came home around 3:30 pm, had a glass of wine then loaded the kayaks, the bikes and the rest of the stuff.  We are ready to go to the shop tomorrow morning.  I just hope it’s not all day!
