We are now back at Royalwood Golf and RV park, on Hwy 1, Abbottsford, Free Hi Speed Wi Fi, and cable TV, full hook ups with 50 amps. Not bad for 165 bucks a week. We got the slide fixed, it had got "stuck". A lot of pushing and heaving, and using a wrench on it all at the same time, and in it went. Loads of silicone spray to follow, and the problem seems to have gone away. I also managed to fix the huge water leak we had on the hot water tank. So fingers crossed, we are all back in shape. Because we had an enforced extra few days stay in Cultus Lake, we will stay here now 'till we leave to cross the border next week. No sense in travelling back to TT for one night.
We were just driving out of here this morning, going to Mission, BC., when we saw a familiar looking motorhome and tow car drive in. We waited to see the occupants, just to make sure, and surprise surprise, its Tom and Sharon. They are a couple we first met in Florida last winter, and met up with them again last week in Cultus Lake. They hail from Ontario, Canada. They will be staying here for a week also, before they too head south for the winter. Small world.
Our weather here has gone a little cool over the last week or so, highs in the upper teens cent., but its still sunny and dry, so cant complain. If it could stay like this until we cross the border and start south, then we couldn't ask for more. We are surrounded by mountains here in the Fraser Valley, and only one had any snow visible when we arrived in this part of BC at the end of August. Now we are surrounded by snow capped mountains, its really beautiful.
We had some sad news this morning from Grace, our 6 year old granddaughter in England. She called to tell us that her beloved hamster, Elizabeth, died last night. Lots of tears as she told us all about the burial, where and what plants she planted at the grave site in the back garden.
Then she brightened a little as she told us of her visit to the pet store after school tonight, and about "Sophie", Elizabeth's replacement. Though she kept on repeating that "Elizabeth could never be replaced."
