Its been a really busy few days. Good days. We left early early Saturday morning for Kamloops. There was no way we wanted to be here while April had her party Sat. nite!! The trip up was uneventful and rainy. Kathy had a wonderful lunch waiting for us and immediately after Bill and Kerry pruned and chopped all the foliage on their property.
Kathy and I went shopping and visited Mom. She was in such good shape and we had the best visit with her. We were reading excerpts from her 1945 diary. Amazing!
One of the stores Kathy took me to was a place called Bulk Barn. Holy Crap!!! Why why why can't we have something like this store down here? They had everything possible in that place. Aisles and aisles of candy, snacks, nuts, baking stuff, soups, honey, soaps, pinatas, cake pans, cake decorating stuff, craft stuff, british stuff (like spotted dick in a can), and anything else you could think of. Its right beside the best fat lady store in BC and right across from McDs. The perfect trifecta!!!
So, Bill needed to see this place. Yesterday we stayed longer than normally we would and waited for the store to open. He couldn't believe it either!!! Next time I am decorating a cake or scrapbooking, I'm heading straight there!!!

We came through the canyon on the way home. Saw lots of stuff and it was a trippy trip down memory lane. If we don't go the Coquihalla we do the Duffy so it had been a long long time since coming down the canyon. Loved it!!
My favorite drive!
