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. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

March 1 to 6, 2015; Last month in our apartment

MARCH FIRST, 2015, Sunday; Last month in our apartment
It’s amazing how time flies! It seems only yesterday we moved here in this nice apartment with a million dollar view!  By the end of this month we will be moved back into our regular home (read Beaver MH) and hopefully will be settled in at Cottonwood RV Park on Luckakuck Way in Sardis.
It is cloudy with a few sunny breaks and cool again but no wind so far!  We went for a walk on the Rotary Trail by the Vedder River and did some Geo-Caching at the same time.  Found them all except for one which we believe was taken.  Stopped at the “Jolly Miller Pub” afterwards for a brew then home for a quiet evening.  Made my lunch for tomorrow, coffee pot ready and to bed early after watching “Madam Secretary” (Good wife is recorded)


MAR 2, Monday; Back to work for both
Sort of; it turned out that Val had her schedule wrong and didn’t work today.  As for me, I worked in the shop for a while then took a delivery to Langley at the job site to drop off some flashing then went to GENTEK to pick up some soffit and dropped that off at a job site in Chilliwack.  Back to shop and I loaded the recycle bin and went back to the Chwk job and Todd & Tanner helped in loading the old aluminium soffit and all the stock they had there to get the job done which is now completed.  Back at the shop, it was a rush to unload and we took a seal glass to BOSTON PIZZA and replace a broken window.  An hour later I was back at the shop and clocked out.  A good day overall!  Val had a mishap in that she locked herself out of her car and had to wait over an hour for BCAA to come out and help her.  We had spaghetti for dinner then relax in front of the tube


MAR 3, Tuesday;
Another busy day!  First I took the truck to a Gus Electric to have turn signal lights installed on the side of the truck.  I worked in the shop for a while then had to go the home shop and pick up the scaffolds for a job.  Back at the shop, we loaded glass and tools then headed for Clearbrook where we replaced the glass in one window.  From here, it was back to the PO in Abbotsford to put up one last piece of glass on the front awning.  We were back by 4:15 pm and unloaded the truck.  At home, I had a nice hot bath then dinner.  Early to bed again tonight.  Val worked 8 to 2 today.


MAR 4, Wednesday; HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAL!!!
Val was gone to work for 6 am to 2 pm.  She also got bad news in that her best friend Tony is in a coma and may be dead within the nest 48-72 hrs.  Val is quite upset about this news and is thinking of going over (Vancouver Island).  I’ve encouraged her to do it but she wants to think about it.
My day was busy.  I loaded windows for a job here in Chilliwack and met Todd and Tanner at the house where we proceeded to put in 5 windows in out of 15.


MAR 5, Thursday; Another birthday!
NO day off!  Actually, it was an easy day.  I did some pickups in the morning then put the frames together for a door entrance way. 
In the evening, we went to Rochelle and Kevin for BBQ hamburgers and salad.  Grand-son Graeme and his wife Courtenay were there along with the girls and friends Russ and Cathy.  Later, Sid and Vera (Kevin’s parents) showed up and we had birthday chocolate cake and ice cream that Rochelle made from scratch.  We were presented with lots of good wishes and some nice presents which were not expected.  Good time was had by all and we came home by 10 pm.


MAR 6, Friday; great stuff
I began the day by working in the shop then was called to give Todd a hand at a private house on Fairfield Island.  We finished off the job and were back at the shop by 5 pm.  Home to a great dinner then proceeded to fall asleep on the couch to when Val woke me up and sent me to bed.
