June 26 to July 2, 2011

Sunday ; This morning we attended Riverside RV Park Resort's potluck breakfast. I would like to make disparaging remarks about one of the contributions to the potluck, but ... I really should restrain myself, shouldn't I ? Afterwards we performed ear candling on each other, a holistic health care practice of dubious merit that we're likely not going to repeat.

This evening we drove to Princeton for a performance of live theatre. We're "theatre snobs", having regularly attended live theatre at The National Arts Centre in Ottawa, the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, and the Shaw Festival in Niagara On The Lake, so I didn't have particularly high hopes for live theatre in Princeton. But ... it was pretty good, all things considered. Princeton's River Road Theatre is a summer stock theatre operated by five young, recent graduates of theatre school. The leader of the group of five is a native of Princeton. And I think starting and running a live theatre operation in a small town in the BC Interior takes a lot of courage and ambition. Bravo ! Tonight's performance ... in front of an audience of twenty people ... was a musical ; "I love you, you're perfect, now change".

Tuesday ; Happy 47th Birthday to Joanne's sister Lorraine and Happy 60th Birthday to our neighbour and friend Janet

We spent the late afternoon and evening at Janet's birthday party.

Friday ; Happy Canada Day

Usually we participate in Canada Day celebrations somewhere but today we just stayed home and worked on home and yard chores. Joanne continued working on cleaning and waxing the trailer. I washed the truck. Late in the evening I realized I had a cold coming on ... strong and hard !

Saturday ; Today was a long and difficult day. Or so it seemed, thanks to the bad cold I have. We delivered and set up two rental trailers today, one from the Summerland storage yard to a campground in Penticton, and the other from the Summerland storage yard to a campground at Gallagher Lake. Then we drove to Osoyoos to deliver Similkameen Day Tours business cards to the NK'MIP campground office. And while at NK'MIP we decided to drop into the nearby Spirit Ridge resort to check out if that would be a good place to have our rack cards placed. We think it would be. We're expecting our rack cards to arrive by mail in about two weeks.

We bought some groceries in Osoyoos and refilled a propane tank in Keremeos on the way home. WHEW ... lots of mileage today !
