It’s been a lovely weekend with Ken and Donna!
Saturday, Donna and I headed to their RV property to finish emptying and cleaning ‘the trailer’ as the Ark 2.0 is now being called. It was a full day of hauling and cleaning, with the goal being to make the place sale ready ASAP. I was rewarded with a Blue Boy, a foot rest for my patio, and a good metal spatula. 🙂
We got home feeling rather knackered, so we put together a quick dinner then settled down with Ken to watch a few movies. Their new dog, Roxy, and I bonded and spent some time cuddling. She’s a sweet but neurotic/skittish girl.
I wound up accepting quite a bit of work for the week (why can’t it pour like this at times when I’m at home twiddling my thumbs?), so I started on that this morning because Donna was going to church in the morning and Ken was having a down day since he has a cold. I put in about three hours then quit since Donna is working the next couple of days and we wanted to spend more time together.
We lounged around for the rest of the afternoon, then I cobbled together dinner with the meagre offerings in the pantry and some leftovers. Ken is going grocery shopping tomorrow. 🙂
I’m hoping to put in a full day tomorrow and get the project done so I can finish preparing the seminar on Tuesday and also get the truck ready. I’m not really in any hurry to leave Wednesday, so it’s okay if some prep leaks over from Tuesday. I just want to get some mileage under me so I don’t get to Kelowna too late on Thursday.
Visiting Donna and Ken is just like being at home, except there’s dogs and a gentleman makes my morning toast and coffee. 🙂 I look forward to a time when I will be set up to reciprocate their warm hospitality.
Glad you made it safely!
Thanks, Gina!
Rae is safely to her destination on the West side of the Rockies. She left Wednesday morning and headed to the Revelstoke area for her first night. Good thing too as the East side of the Rockies is experiencing the worst flooding in over 100 years. For those who remember, they said that in 2005, but now that looks like slightly elevated water levels compared to current flooding. Stampede in 2 weeks in Calgary, and the grounds are COMPLETELY under water. The Zoo is challenged too, but you’ll have to look it up on the net for details.
Rae’s return route will hopefully bypass the worst of the flooding……..
Things are looking dire for the trip home since the Hat has yet to be hit but is expecting record floods. I could be stuck here because I can’t afford to take the northern route. At least, I’m dry and my cat is okay and I have everything I need to ride this out.
