OCT 18, SUNDAY; Gateway
Cloudy this morning and it rained overnight. This was a lazy day, totally! I watched football games and Val took a
couple walks with Donna. Very unexciting
day!
OCT 19, MONDAY; TO SALMON
ARM, DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS
Cloudy again. We went
to Salmon Arm for Val’s specialist appointment then to the Chiro for another
session on her neck. The doctor told her
that it was OK for us to go down but if it got any worse, then return to BC. She called our family doctor but he is off
until Nov.2. We also went to the clinic
for Val’s second blood test. I guess our
count down to our departure is on! We
have to be in Bend OR. By the 29th and we figure that if anything,
we can decide from there. We stopped for
lunch and some groceries then came back home.
It is raining lightly. Traffic is
sure light with all the Albertans and tourist gone!
OCT 20, TUESDAY; 5 days to
our departure,
SUNNY! I had some more
data added to my phone and now it won’t work with my computer as a mobile
hotspot. I called BELL and SAMSUNG and
got no further. I took the phone and
computer and drove to Salmon Arm and finally got it going but still don’t why
or how. Anyway, I returned home and
tried it and it worked but Val’s computer still won’t hook-up!?? Beautiful day; sunny and warm! While I was gone, Val cleaned the house. She went for her walk and now is getting
dinner ready: Meat Loaf, baked potato and salad
OCT 21, WEDNESDAY;
The sun was out first thing this morning but now it is
cloudy. Val did her walk this morning
and I spent some time fighting with VIRGIN for overcharging me after cancelling
my 3-year contract which is now illegal and none enforceable. Well, for the first time this year, I had to
put on a sweater under my jacket as it is cold outside. Definitely time to leave. Called son Jeffrey this evening and had a
good conversation with him.
OCT 22, THURSDAY; 2 days
to our departure
Val went to Heather’s for a haircut this morning then in the
afternoon, we drove to Salmon Arm for her appointment at the hospital for an
imaging scan at 3 pm and her chiro treatment at 1 pm. After all this, we went shopping for a new TV
and bought a 40” SMART LED SAMSUNG. If
you’re going to buy something, it might as well be big and the best, right!? The price was right as they say on TV. Anyway, we drove back to our lot, put
everything inside then went to Jeff and Donna for a get together with all our
friends left in the Park. 12 people in
all and Mark joined us in the evening.
We sat around the fire and lots of food was available. We had fun and lots of laughs then got home
by 9 pm. It was sunny and a balmy 14*C
but it got chilly as the sun went down.
OCT 23, FRIDAY; Last day
in the Shuswap!
Sunny with a few clouds!
We decided to leave tomorrow to allow us the sunny window being forecasted
and to give us enough time to get to BEND OREGON! Kevin was supposed to come tomorrow to
install our counter glass but I cancelled that.
It will have to wait until next year.
I contacted DISH today and had my service restored as of Saturday. Tomorrow, BELL TV and phone will be suspended
until next April. We also called our
insurance to report Val’s test and doctor’s visits. Val did laundry and I covered the Santa-Fe
for the winter. I hooked up our new TV
to our satellite and what a pleasure it is to watch a BIG screen at eye
level. I should have got a 50” …. JUST
KIDDING!!! We went to Judy and Ed for HH and dinner. The same gang as last night was there and we
proceeded to have a good evening as this is our last as a group. Everyone except Donna & Jeff, Donna &
Marcel and Heather and Dan, are leaving this week-end. Dinner was delicious consisting of a cooked
ham, cube potatoes, carrots and broccoli.
YUM! YUM! YUM! Once again we had
fun but it came time to say our good-byes and we were back in our little home
by 9 pm. Looking forward to our new
adventures!
