Fire at Holiday Park Resort

About an hour into our move yesterday I looked down the road and was shocked to see a fire.  Fire in an RV park is extremely serious due to close proximity to each other and  propane tanks, lots of them!  Fortunately, Walter Bulten, recently retired from the local volunteer fire department was doing some work [...]

Privacy issues!!

When in the USA last month Colin and I shopped at JC Penney where the clerk at checkout talked us into getting one of their credit cards and getting a 15% discount on our purchases.  We did not want a US credit card as it is too difficult to make payments.  According to her things [...]

Too much too fast!

Yesterday just zipped by with all the decisions and changes that had to be made.  Good thing Colin was able to be here.  I was disappointed that the crew packed up and left early at 4PM.  It is a 5 day job and they are trying to get it done in 4 days but not [...]

Recycling!!!

Here at Holiday Park Resort, recycling has become a huge thing, they have even won civic awards for what goes on here.  We have an area for cardboard only, another for [...]

Bucket List!

Do you have a bucket list? I went to a funeral yesterday.  Only my second ever funeral and it hit me hard.  It was more a celebration of life for a friend here at Holiday Park who died much too young at 66.  This was the fourth friend we have lost in a month!! Of [...]
