About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
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!

September 12 to 15, 2014; Gaetan & Josette leave and work begins at Unger Windows and Doors!

SEPT  12, Friday finally!  And Gaetan & Josette last day
Another busy day for me working on private home and making some deliveries.  I got off at 3:30 and came home to have a shower then we were on the road to Richmond to meet Gaetan and Josette at their hotel near the airport.  We both arrived at the same time; they had just got off the ferry and were held up by the traffic on the way in.  We had a nice visit with them hearing all about their trip to Vancouver Island then we went to the “Boat House” for dinner.  We also walked the neighborhood and it soon came time to say our final goodbyes as they are flying to Montreal tomorrow.  We hugged then left to return to Chilliwack.  We finally got to bed at 1 am.

 
SEPT  13, Saturday; working on grand-son’s house
I was up at 7 am and on the road by 8 am with grand-son Graeme and son-in-law Kevin to take a load of old gyproc and left over from the house to the dump.  After unloading the trailer, we drove back to the house and began to take one of the main front windows apart and prepare it for the new window.  Once that was done, we went for brunch then to the shop to pick up the new window frames and the glass.  We installed it all but unfortunately, one of the new glasses didn’t fit as it was measured wrong but we did get the other two glasses in.  We finally called it quit at 4 pm, came home, showered then Val and I went to Sid and Vera while Rochelle and Kevin went to a wedding reception.  We had dinner at Sid and Vera, went for a walk and we were home by 8:30 and to bed by 9 pm.

 
SEPT  14, Sunday; a day of rest!
I was up at 8 am, refreshed and relaxed!  It is sunny and the forecast is for a very warm day.  After relaxing all morning, we took the motorhome to the fair grounds to empty the tanks then to Husky to fuel up.  I also called Brook and reserved his trailer for next week-end.  We have to go back to winterized the place and get a few things we will need for this coming winter like heavy jackets and clothes.  We spent the rest of the day relaxing and reading.

 
SEPT  15, Monday; Back to work
Sunny and hot (32*C)!  Today, I spent the day at the shop doing a very monotonous job pacing rubber sealant in window frames.  I came home at 4 pm, showered and BBQ pork chops for dinner.  We ate on the patio, very pleasant.  To bed early!  Oh and it was payday today for me.
