It’s been a momentous week. July 1 for Canada Day and July 4 for America’s 250th birthday. I am excited that I was able to take the Thor Hurricane out of the BCRV 178 site , stop on the road and hitch the Jeep Wrangler to the back, then head out to Harrison Lake. I had to stop for gas on the way and there were construction delays but I made the journey safely. A 1 hour and 20 minute journey took 3 hours due to traffic but despite being tired I was able to back into site 17 with the help of staff.
I loved the Hotsprings RV and Camping Park. It was right beside Glencoe where we often took the truck and adventurer camper. Right down town on Lillooet street across the public minearl pool. It rained all week but I barbecued dinners and we walked the dog round the lagoon park most days. Laura or I took him for a couple of short walks .And we read. I read a couple of Louis L’Amour westerns and a science fiction about an alien invasion. At night we watched episodes of Blue Bloods or Cold Case. I took care of some patients calls and work a a couple of days.. There were firecrackers on July 1 . Not many.
I dropped of the Vespa and carrier with Victor to sell. We had a couple of brunches in Chilliwack. I was even able to attend an AA meeting in Agazzi, his friend Janey’s cake. I enjoyed that her daughters and her looked so related. When I commented, she replied ‘it’s the strong Scottish genes that carry through’. I liked her immediately and appreciated why Victor did too. Joie to vivre in recovery. 20 plus years.
I actually went into the lake as freezing as it was but didn’t do that twice. I stuck to the public hotsprings getting a half hour in the hotsprings most every day I was there. My back was painful the week. I took ibuprofen and muscle relaxants and by the end of the week was doing better. Laura had a tooth ache which resolved with keflex. Madigan was happy adn has taken to having us throw things so he can fetch them. He’s still growling and snarling and wagging his tail.
I asked Laura to join me in Palm Springs at Christmas. So that made me decide I’d leave Vancouver early December to go to Palm Springs where I’d be for the Christmas holidays. Then it’s Fountain of Youth and Algadones. I think of going to San Diego perhaps from Palm Springs after Algadones. I might even catch LA on the way back or may just do Palm Spring , FOY and Algadones. I’m aiming for 3 months.
Moninder got her license approved so my supervision responsibilities reduced
I supposed I’ll have to write a book soon. I took the laundry in when I got back.
Now i have to
1. Take jeep in again because the warning light for transmission continues to show
2. Arranged to have Madigan groomed and a vet visit
3. Take the Thor into DAMS Ford Langley for annual service. I aim for 6 months but annual it is so far
I am booked here for 2 weeks and thinking of going back to Harrison for 2 to 3 weeks in August. I’d thought to go to Nakusp but found the Harrison stay so enjoyable that I think that may do it. Want to go swimming daily and would have the hot spring close.
I really am thankful to God fro my 29 years of sobriety. That’s a real milestone for me. I hope to make church on the weekend I enjoyed the. MD2 and WCDIR meetings. I haven’t had enough gratitude and my resentments and fears had returned last month, possibly with the cake anniversary. It seems that May and June are often challenging. Now I need to spend more time on th lawn chair in the sun and walk Madigan more. I need the exercise and must reduce the girth that hampers my back recovery.
Thank you Jesus for Madigan. Thank you Jesus for Thor. Thank you Jesus for the Jeep. Thank you for my in-laws , nephews and great nephews and great neice. Thank you for the god family and good children. Thank you for the clinic and patients and work. Thank you for the RV parks and the service maintenance folk. Thank you for
