May 1 to 7, 2016; Back at work

MAY 1to 7, 2016;  Last day in Chilliwack & return to Shuswap Lake

Sunday, the day is sunny and promises to be warm!  Kevin made a chowder with the rest of the ham and potatoes and veggies.  Val went to Vanessa’s baby shower for the afternoon.  Afterwards, Kevin and I went to the clubhouse and loaded presents in the car and the truck.  Vanessa was really spoiled at this shower.  We drove to her house and unloaded the presents and saw the baby’s room; very beautifully decorated.  We came home and had HH and tasted Kevin’s chowder.  It was delicious; I had two heaping helping.  In the evening, the girls came over for a visit

Monday was our departure day for our Lot in the Shuswap.  We left around 10:30 am, stopped at the “Fair Grounds” to dump the tanks and had a disaster!  The sewer hose came apart and the black water went all over including my sandals and bare feet.  I got that cleaned up and myself and we got the hell out of there after hooking up the jeep. 

The drive up the Coquahalla was uneventful and we finally arrived in Kamloops where I fueled up @$o.999/liter and we had lunch here.  In Chase, we stopped at a road side gas station and I filled our propane tank then we arrived home around 3:40 pm.  We set up and sat outside for a drink.

It feels good to be home.  I set up BELL TV in the evening as DISH is now cut off.

We travelled 208 miles @ an average 53MPH in 4 hrs.  We stopped for an hour and twenty-nine minutes.

Tuesday, we went to the Provincial Park and got our schedules and uniforms.  While there, a few employees came in that we knew so it was a pleasant reunion.  Cassie was happy to see us!  From here we went to Sorrento and got insurance for our Hyundai and mailed our claim for reimbursement for the private insurance.  I stopped at the garage across the street and got them to check where an oil leak is coming from.  I ended making an appointment for the 10^{th for} a closer assessment.  We came home and worked in the yard, set up the gazebo, table and chairs, cleaned out the fridge and freezer and the washer & dryer.  We called it quit at 4 pm and had a beer.  After dinner, we finally finished the “DEXTER Series”.

Wednesday, we went to Salmon Arm to pick up the mail and shopped for clothes for Val’s work.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday consisted of working at the Park for me and Val did house routine and some errands.  She started working Saturday for 4 hours only to begin with.
