Well things are going much better now (touch wood).  We had a nice day and a half with Emily ,
Jon and their new puppy Taika.  I have never been exposed to such a young pup and although Taika is very cute she is as much work as a new born.  Emily & Jon were both quite tired.  She gets them up every 2 to 4 hours.  And like it is with a newborn, most of our time was spent sitting around watching Taika's antics.
Monday morning we travelled all the way from Winfield to Summerland where we stayed with an old friend Mark.  (His wife, Louise was in Ontario ).  We went on a lovely bike ride long the Kettle Valley railway and spent the rest of the time visiting over a glass or two of wine.
Tuesday we headed to Cultus Lake Provinical park near Chilliwack.  Jeremy met us there and we spent two great nights relaxing.  This was the first chance we have had to camp.  Camping has gotten much more expensive than I remember.  It cost us $30/ night plus another $12 for Jeremy.  And that is for no services; although they did have flush toilets and showers.  As well we had to pay $20 for green firewood for 2 nights.  But on the positive the camper is very comfy for sleeping and we seem to have everything organized quite well.  Plus nothing can compare to sitting around a campfire listening to Jeremy play the guitar and sing.  I think everyone around us was jealous!
We are now at Jeremy's for one night.  It is good to be plugged in again.  Didn't realize how dependent I had become on my toys.
I also realize that we have been on the road for almost a week and are only in Vancouver.  I guess it is a good thing we have 5 months, at the rate we are going. LOL!
