Val went to work at 6 am and I at 8 am under a sunny sky. My brother Gaetan and Josette are in BANFF, I am sure Josette is really taking it all in being her first time out West!
Work was very busy right from the beginning; only 28 or so sites stayed filled in the Park out of 240 sites. We kept 5 lanes open and shut down the rest. We had to take out all the garbage and recycling then block the main streets. I also had to make a run to Niskonlith and Adams lakes for the garbage there. Both of those Parks were almost emptied except for a few die hard!
I came home at 3:30, showered then we went to Dan and Heather for their wedding anniversary. We partied until 10, came home and straight to bed! We had lots of laughs and sat out the whole time. There were quite a few people present and lots of food to munch on. Good way to start off the month of September!
We decided to head for Kamloops today. We stopped at Costco for buns and Sears & The Bay for a new bed comforter but no luck. We had lunch at “Original Joe”. We got a text message from Gaetan telling us that they were in Revelstoke and coming here for tonight so we high-tailed it back to Lee Creek.
They
arrived at 4:30 pm! We had a marvelous
reunion. We showed them around our place
and the trailer next door where they will be staying. We set them up with coffee, sugar, milk and
yogurt for the morning. Val made dinner
then we proceeded to have a very nice visit catching up to news. They went to bed by 9 pm and we weren’t too
far behind.
I cooked pancakes for everyone then Val did the laundry while our guests relaxed. I took them around our resort and showed them everything then we came back and had a light snack outside. I made a few calls to Johnny, Rochelle and Jeffrey organizing this coming week-end. Gaetan had to go to the ICBC bank and the only one available was in Salmon Arm so we drove out there. We walked the downtown part then drove back here but first, we stopped at Walmart to pick up soap that Judy forgot there. Once back home, we went over to Judy and Ed for HH then came home and had dinner, cooked on the BBQ. After dinner, we had a fire outside.
I don’t why but I was up by 6:30 so I read until everyone was up! After cooking a healthy breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, hash-browns and toast we went to the Provincial Park to return our uniforms and to show Gaetan and Josette our little summer hide-away. They were impressed by the Park then we showed them the village of Scotch Creek, had a pizza for lunch @ Yummy’s then we went to the river to see the salmon run and stopped along the highway to look at where the Indians have a barricade to count the fish coming up the river. We then drove to Margaret’s Falls and hiked in; once again very impressive, I just love this area. We then walked across to the Provincial Park and to the beach. We sat there for a while before returning to the Jeep. We drove out and stopped at the local winery where we samples some wine and bought a bottle and shared it among the four of us with cookies and cheese. It was very nice especially with the sun shining and the warm weather!
We
came home, put the flag out and had HH with everyone in the neighborhood
attending. After I cooked local sweet
corn and hamburgers for dinner, we sat around the fire until 10 pm. Tomorrow, we head for Chilliwack.
