About Me

We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. 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. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

June 8 to 15, 2014; Back to work & to Langley

JUN  8, Sunday; Back to work
We were short staff this morning so I think we earned our pay today!  Campers were slow in moving out and there were no rush for the Dump Station which was good.  Got home at 3:45 pm under a cloudy sky but warm day (it was sunny all day)!  We had a drink then dinner and watched the final CD on “Fringe”; a very strange movie but it kept us captivated.

 
JUN  9, Monday; Laundry day!
Another day working around the yard and doing chores such as laundry and dumping the tanks.  It got cloudy in the afternoon and we had drizzles by early evening.  Val made sweet potatoes fries in our new T-Fal and I BBQ’ed hamburgers.  We watched a new series this evening; “Games of Thrones”.  I was in bed early as we have to leave early tomorrow.

 
JUN  10, Tuesday; Eye exam in S.A.
We were up by 6:30 am and on our way to Salmon Arm by 8!  We first went to the eye exam place where we both had our eyes tested.  We were both fine.  We had breakfast to the coffee shop next door and checked on our mail (none).  We took Tucker to the groomer at 11 am then we drove to Walmart to purchase a bra for Val and some treats and food for Tucker.  We went to a local Pub for a beer and a snack and bought a couple of wasp catchers ($5 each) that the barman/owner was selling!  We picked up Tucker and drove to the doctor’s office for Val’s appointment and finally drove home by 3:30 pm. Oh, and we also got groceries and put that away when we got home.  We sat out for a drink then dinner and another episode of “Games of Thrones”.

 
JUNE  11, Wednesday;
I washed the Jeep and the car.  It was a warm and sunny day and we took advantage of it.  Been thinking a lot about grand-son’s marriage in Cabo and whether we want to put the expenditure for it!??  It seems a lot to spend for only a seven day luxurious trip and we soon have to make a decision.  HH at Bob and Gail then dinner and Games of Thrones series in the evening.

 
JUN  12, Thursday; Back to work
I got a call yesterday saying that if it rained, not to come in so I was happy to see the sun shining when I got up at 6 am.  I did go to work and it never rained!  I got home at 4 pm and at 4:30, we went to George and Paulette for HH and gave them a bottle of wine that we picked up yesterday and a card congratulating on their new purchase, a 2011 Newmar 43’  and it is gorgeous.  We came home afterwards and had dinner then watched Games of Thrones.

 
JUN  13, Friday; To work again
Yep, got an extra day!  Actually I am getting the whole week-end which suits me fine.  Early in the morning, Cassie (read Boss) asked me for Val’s number; she has a job for her as Janitorial starting June 27th and we get the same days off.  She even gets a bonus again this year!  Once home at 3:30 pm, I had time to change then it was HH at Ed & Judy.  Dinner consisted of bangers and mash, another favorite of mine, and then we began the second season of FRINGE!

 
JUN  14, Saturday; Work
A busy day which began with sunshine but ended in rain!  It rained most of the evening but there was a break long enough to allow me to BBQ steaks for dinner.  Evening was more of FRINGE!

 
JUN  15, Sunday; HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!
I worked again today but it was slow.  We didn’t have as many people show up as we thought, maybe due to the lousy weather!?  I was home by 3:40 pm, had a beer and chatted with Val then Race and his wife came over and that’s when we had a huge downpour that lasted about 15 minutes and inundated everything.  It was crazy.  They left as soon as it let up, in case it happened again which it didn’t!  We had dinner then watched another episode of FRINGE!
