April and Myles came for a weekend visit. I love having them visit. We went to Coombs today and bought lunch and ice cream cones and played in an old beat up blue car. It was so much fun.
On the way home we took a quick detour and went to that fantastic nursery they have here. We bought carrots and cherries and impatiens.....Such a fun place.
They got away by about four and Monte and I swung into 'pack for camping' mode. This is our first camping trip together so it was a fair amount of work getting it all put together. I bought a camp stove off Amazon recently so we had that covered. I put all my hanging plants into a bathtub of water and hopefully they will make it through the week. And we had to haul everything in off the deck. Whatever is not nailed down gets stolen. So bbq, recycling, tables, chair etc all come in.
On Saturday Rabina and Cookie came for a day road trip!!! Rabina lives in Nanaimo and Cookie goes to visit her for weekends now and then. And bless them they took a day from their visit to come up to visit us! So there was April, Myles, Monte, Rabina and Cookie for lunch. What a wonderful wonderful visit we had! It was so good to see everybody. This home is feeling more and more homey as time goes by! I love it!
Another thing thats happening is a cruise...in October. Its not a very exotic one but its a good calm one with lots of at sea days...which will be a good starter cruise for Monte. Its a cruise to Hawaii. Five days at sea to start, from Vancouver, four days of visiting the islands, then five at sea days home to Vancouver. No flying. I know this would probably drive some people nuts (Sharri and Michael!!!) but I love at sea days and I feel Monte will too. The only thing is its on the Star Princess, a ship that is getting terrible reviews right now. She is an old ship, going to be decommissioned soon so no money is being spent on it. Oh well...we don't care! Pretty exciting.
So off to Tunqua Lake. We will be a Kathy's tomorrow night and Tuesday night. On Wednesday we head up to the campsite to stake out number 44...apparently the best group campsite. Kevin and family, Jen and Jeremy and family, Jo and Craig and family, Em and hopefully James, Kathy and Kerry, April and Myles, Monte and Myself....I feel like I left someone out, but we will all be there. Should be a hoot! I shall post
