Aileen and friend Karen in Penticton were trying to plan a
surprise 65th birthday party for our mutual friend Bev. It was decided I could do my post the other
day as long as I didn’t jeopardize the plan, hence the title of my last post. However, when Bev went to take her Mom for a
ride Friday morning, Pearl asked to go see Karen’s grand dogs. Well, as soon as they turned in the driveway,
there’s our motor home front and center!
Game over! Everyone had a good
laugh and we did have a nice birthday supper here at Karen and George’s Saturday
evening. Aileen marinated a couple of
pork loins supplied by Karen and George; I grilled them. Karen did the veggies while Aileen made the
dessert. The wines were a joint effort
of Karen, George, Bev and Pearl.
The old Kettle Valley Railroad tracks make for great walking
and cycling and the trail crosses just down the block from here so we have used
it a bit. Most of it is away from
traffic so rather peaceful. After breakfast
yesterday we headed down Eastside Rd to a farm market we’d been told
about. We checked out a few side roads
along the way. Crossing the highway at
Okanagan Falls, we took the Green Lake Rd which was a new one for us. What a pretty little valley it took us
through. We followed it through to White
Lake Rd which brought us back to the highway above OK Falls and not far back to
the motor home.
We had thunder and lightning Friday and Saturday so Mitzy
has not been a happy camper. It rained
with both as well as some in between so the air is a little fresher after the
long dry spell. The forecast shows
another dry spell coming on. We’re
hoping for some clear weather when we head over to the Rockies shortly.

Looks like a good crop coming on
