SUNNY! And warm, finally! Did a couple repairs that needed attention and cleaned up around the yard. We read in the afternoon then HH at Ed & Judy. It was a quiet but good day, Val dropped off some resume at a couple places.
We were in Salmon Arm by 10 am for our appointment. We were both found healthy and good for another year except that I have to go for a colonoscopy, YUCK! I guess it’s for the best because of what happened to my brother Gaetan. Anyway, afterwards we went shopping for a few groceries then I checked around for pricing on new tires. We had to stop at the Vet for Tucker’s meds then home to HH at Bob and Gail. Dinner then the last of “Tudors”
I got a call from FLYING J RV Card about being overdue then I read the e-mail sent to me which stated that I was overdue by .04 cents!!! Considering this is an automatic withdrawal on their part, I fail to see why. In any case, I called them back and got it straightened out! The rest of the day was slow and easy. I worked on getting our Beaver ready for the week-end and did some stuff around the yard then we read for a while and I had a short snooze. It was cloudy all day but warm and pleasant. We had HH by ourselves but Dennis did join us for a while. After dinner we joined him and Ruth for nightcap.
We woke to rain and it lasted most of the day! I showed Val how to reconcile our visa both on paper and in the Quicken program…I don’t have much patience for this but we managed. The sun finally came out around 3 pm and I took advantage to pack up for tomorrow. Teresa and Ron joined us for HH then we had dinner which was delicious as it was a stew.
We were up by 7 am for some reason. We spent a couple hours getting ready to leave, put air in the jeep’s tires, clean the yard, took the garbage and recycling out and locked everything up. We hooked up and were gone by 11:45 am. We headed west on Hwy 1 at a steady speed of 58 MPH and stopped in Kamloops for brunch. We continued on South on Hwy 5 and eventually turned West on Hwy 97C. We arrived in Logan Lake by 2 pm, set up, paid for our site ($24) and found that the water pump would not work for us so we went into the village and bought some bottle water for coffee and the morning toiletries. From there, we headed to the Kirkby’s and his 70th Birthday Party. There were a lot of people, Daughter and sons, sisters, cousin and friends of course. It was great to re-unite with old friends and family and Lynden looked very pleased. Dinner consisted of salads, ribs, chicken wings and hamburgers. Mom Charlene did a great job on the meal and their son, Trenton, did a fantastic job organizing the whole affair. We finally came home by 10:30 pm.
We were up at 7 am under a cloudy sky and on the road by 9:45! We went down 97C to Merritt and turned right instead of left at the junction of Hwy 8 and headed for Hwy 1 and the Fraser Canyon. It had been a while since we drove through here and it wasn’t disappointing. Unfortunately as we got nearer to the Fraser Valley, it began raining. We stopped for brunch past Lytton and finally arrived in Chilliwack to Rochelle & Kevin’s place by 3 pm. It is great seeing them again. Kevin BBQ’ed great steaks and we ate outside on their covered porch with heat lamps and chatted the evening away, catching up to news.
