It feels like we are mostly just spending our time
waiting. We have very heavy smoke in all
of southern BC so there is no sunshine.
The coastal areas have some rain forecast today but none in our forecast
until perhaps Friday where I see the possibility of a thunderstorm. The smoke makes the idea of pleasure travel
or outings unpleasant so we are mostly sitting still. Road trips or RV travel are on hold.
Things are progressing at a snail’s pace on our house. We do have the basis of a successful house
plan but it still needs tweaking. Since the
builder is very busy, it takes time to make changes on the plan. We are trying to remain patient. When the weather turns colder we will be
winterizing the motorhome and moving into our friend Bev M’s apartment while
she moves in with Karen. Bev and Karen
have lived together off and on over the last few years and travel together so
they are looking forward to the arrangement.
Not so sure about Aileen and myself as neither of us have ever lived in
an apartment, but at least we will be warmer.
We are renting a portable storage container which we will
place here at Karen’s. This will allow
us to get some of our belongings from our storage shed at Bev and Kev’s before
the fall rains make it too difficult to access.
Our shed is up a hill behind their house and it gets very muddy in the
rain. This should be quite exciting as
most of the storage items in boxes, at least, we haven’t seen in twelve
years. I’m sure there will be lots to
dispose of since our lives have changed so much in that time. I certainly won’t be using all my backpacking
equipment as that is not on my horizon. That
ship has sailed. It will be an
experience, I’m sure!
Aileen and Karen are continuing to can with peach jam and
pickled beets being the most recent.
Pears will be next and then we should be out of jars and that will be
the end of this year’s canning.
Hello John and Aileen,
ReplyDeleteDo you two have to stay in Canada this Winter? I hope you can travel(in the states) I have never commented, but I enjoy all the wonderful pictures you take! Take care, Rawn Stone
It certainly isn't looking very positive for us to travel south this year. Bummer!
