5C's Que Pasa

Here at Holiday Park there are a few yard sales throughout the summer and today was the first one.  Sometimes we participate and we do have lots of stuff to sell but decided to take this one off.  Too much energy.  So instead all four of us climbed in the golf cart and toured the [...]

At 4:30AM yesterday, Colin left me and the girls!  He has gone to Vancouver to do aerial photography, both from a helicopter and fixed wing.  He has enough work to be in the air for over 8 hours, which is a lot.  Here are some examples of what he will be doing. Meanwhile the girls [...]

I just returned from another appointment in Kelowna and the highway is full of convertibles all with their tops down, RV’s of every size, cars pulling trailers and SUV’s towing boats.  The sky is blue and the sun is shining.  It is 23C  with a possible 2 or 3 more degrees to go!  As I [...]

We moved here almost 8 years ago and did not want to wait a lifetime for trees to grow.  Because of the huge fire in Kelowna in 2003 there were no mature trees left to be purchased locally so we headed to Vancouver.  We purchased a Dogwood, a Tri – Color Beech and a Persian [...]

The morning started out with low clouds and showers.  A bad omen, perhaps.  Yesterday was the annual Valley Wide Trade Show/Business After Hours being held here in Lake Country at the Gatzke Orchards.  By the way as well as having fresh fruit, produce, there is a cafe, cabins for rent in the orchard and now [...]

One of our friends has a leaky washer problem in his RV.  We have a leaky lawn! Every fall we have our irrigation system blown out but every spring it is a gamble re the reconnection process. The PVC pipes get cold, old and brittle.  This spring ( what spring) has shown to be a [...]

I want to go on record here…..I MISS Mexico. We have all been griping about the weather, well I am adding a new element.  The cost of food!! Remember these tomatoes that were being sold door to door on the Isla…. So today I went to the store and I paid 50cents for one small [...]
