Sunday ;
Cloudy,
cool, intermittent rain.
Did a teensy bit of gardening
and work on the camper. Went for an exercise walk but it was cut
short by rain. Removed an empty propane tank from the camper to take
it for refilling in a few days.
Posted my weekly blog entry.
Spent the evening working on month end investment updates.
Monday
;
Sunny
and mild.
I
was up early this morning to have a phone meeting with my family
doctor’s
vacation replacement locum
to get prescriptions refilled. Then … I went back to sleep for a
few hours. I got up to have lunch, then … went back to sleep for
another few hours. HA HA HA ! Retirement is tough !
This afternoon we received
some photos of Kirby Kofa Klark … HA HA HA … known to us
previously as Carlos the cat. He is obviously doing very well, and
enjoying the full time RV lifestyle. Thank you, Noel, for giving him
such a wonderful home … and life.
We did a small amount of yard
and garden work.
Tuesday
; Happy 19th birthday to Joanne’s niece Amelia
Sunny and warm.
We
went into town ( Keremeos ) today to run errands. Refilled a propane
tank at FasGas. Bought fruits and vegetables at Sanderson Farms.
Picked up all my prescription refills at Pharmasave. Drove a few
more miles out to Cawston and bought bedding plants at Little Bush’s
Greenhouse. Drove back to Keremeos and while Joanne shopped for
groceries at Buy Low Foods I went to Keremeos Home Hardware for “guy
stuff”. They had some, but not all, of what I need. I bought
nothing, thinking that if I had
to go to Rona in Penticton for
a few items that Home Hardware did not have, I might as well get
everything at Rona.
After
we returned home we both worked on planting the bedding plants we
bought. Planting our vegetable garden is now completed. Before
preparing supper we
went
for our daily long exercise walk. We prepared supper together ;
garden salad, breaded Tilapia fillets, fresh green beans, and bacon
carbonara pasta. Of course, not real bacon ! HA HA HA !
Wednesday
;
Overcast,
raining for most of the day.
This
evening I received a somewhat unusual
phone call. A woman who had “consulted” with me a few years ago
regarding the purchase
and transport of a trailer phoned me again, this time seeking advice
regarding the stablization of a park model manufactured home she
recently bought. Two doors down from us ! Hello,
neighbour. HA HA HA !
Joanne
did laundry today. I did a minor upgrade modification to the truck.
I
did prescription records keeping and accounting. I reconciled
monthly investment statements.
WOO-HOO
! First perogy dinner in over six months !
Thursday
; Joanne’s 19th anniversary as a cancer survivor
Sunny and warm.
Joanne
vacuumed and shampooed carpets today. I washed the camper exterior.
WHEW … lots of bugs on the front ! Lots
of diesel soot on the right rear lower corner !
Friday
;
Sunny
and warm, a lovely spring day. Joanne roasted a chicken in the Sun
Oven today.
This
afternoon I flushed the camper’s water heater, flushing out mineral
scale buildup, an annual chore. We did an online exercise session
and took a long exercise walk. We do both most days.
Saturday
;
Sunny,
warm, windy.
The
wind helped with our first task of the day. We walked down to our
park’s fenced dog run area and scattered Ozzie’s ashes. <
sigh > Farewell, sweet little fellow.
We miss you.
Our community’s fenced “dog
park” was championed by Ozzie’s original “daddy” Gord, then
the construction of it was supervised by Gord. Shortly before Gord
died a couple of years ago we “dedicated” the park to him,
memorializing it as the Gordon Watson Memorial Dog Park. It was
created by Gord for his two dogs ( at that time ), Dudley ( the father ) and Ozzie (
the son ). We felt that it was the most fitting place to scatter
Ozzie’s ashes.
This afternoon I did an annual
task that I dislike. I removed the aftermarket air intake system
from the truck and cleaned the "permanent" filter. Tomorrow I will re-oil it and
reinstall it.
MMMMM … barbecued marinated
steak for supper.
