Here are a couple of shots of our other lot. The one in the Mobile Home Park. It was covered with trees when we bought it, now it is leveled out and the trees are cut down.

You can see the pile of trees in the background of the next picture. We're standing where we plan on setting up a mobile home (in a few years!!) You can see the orange poles that we stuck in the ground for markers.Eventually, we'll probably live on this property when we're here for the summer.

And here is a pretty shot of our creek. It was taken after dinner so the sun had already gone behind the hill.

AHHH this is the life!


The temperatures soared here this week to 37 degrees plus. Thank goodness we are now hooked into a temperary power pole that gives us 30 amps of power. We would have wilted away in our motorhome without a/c. But Michel did find a way to cool off outside. He looks quite content doesn't he?

We had an unscheduled trip to Kamloops and the Shuswap this past weekend, and as you can see it was a pleasure trip. Michel's cousin Les invited us to come for the weekend and we spent Saturday out on the lake in the Shuswap. Michel did a little tubing, and I just relaxed. Actually got a little too much sun, but we all had a great day!





We came across this nice little waterfall, and there were hundreds of houseboats out on the water, some of them were mighty nice.













Check out this houseboat - pretty sweet eh??? I think we could have some fun on that for a week or so.

We went golfing today at Christina Lake with Stan and Jude. They also have purchased two lots in Fort Greenwood. We took the scenic route and drove through the US at Midway and back into Canada through Grand Forks. We stopped at the border crossing to buy cheap beer and gas then continued on to Christina Lake. The golf course there is a Par 3 and it's a nice quick game for me. I'm not much of a golfer and 9 holes is about all I can handle. (too many swings). It was the hottest day of the year (so far) 37 degrees or something like that and it was HOT!!!

The park is looking good. Many trees have been planted and grass has been seeded. The first picture is a view of Phase I facing north. Our two lots are at the end by the fence.









Here is a face on view of our lots. Aren't they pretty?
Not big - but we're right on the creek.

We had some excitement in the park this morning. Brian hired a HUGE CAT to move some lumber. We were pretty tense as they were coming between our motorhome and the garage as you can see.









Here is a shot of just how close it was. After the first pallet we relaxed a little. It was fairly obvious the CAT driver knew what he was doing. We decided we'd take a walk and not watch.
When they were done they just loaded up the CAT and were off

I can't believe it's been a month since I've updated my Blog. I'm getting pretty slack!!

Anyway, we've kept pretty busy doing nothing.

We had our 1st Park Party today. The invitees were the people who've purchased in the park, PLUS almost the entire town. It was very well attended. Brian and Marilyn Bell (owner/developer) supplied all the beer and wine and snackies. (Brian is the one with the crutches) It didn't go all night, who can do that anymore?? But we all had a good visit and tipped a few beers for a few hours. One of the 'park members' set up his music system and played us a few tunes, and his wife sang a couple of songs. I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

You know you're getting old when your parties start at 7 and end at 10 !!!!
