Today in Canada we are having yet another election. It matters not for whom you vote, but most importantly to exercise your privilege to vote. We should be thankful for having the right to vote in this country.
This guy was shouting from the roof tops, vote, vote...
So I decided to start getting ready for the big day.
Yesterday while enjoying our 20C sunny day we gave both yards a good scrubbing so it was nice to know that our job today was an easy one.
We drove in style to the polling station which just happened to be in the Rec Centre here in Holiday Park. Notice the sky is not blue today, rain and cloud in the forecast, so glad we got to enjoy yesterday in the sun.
...and that was that, so easy so effortless, job completed.

Well did you see it? Honestly now…
I am talking about the new addition to this blog. You still don’t know what I’m talking about? Por que no?
For your added enjoyment and of course mine I have added a “Spanish Word of the Day”.
It is located on the right side of this page, just below the family photo. So when you come visit be sure to study the word and bonus….yes a free bonus, if you click on the little arrow in the circle under the word you will get the proper pronunciation.
Another good thing is that if I neglected to post that day or just haven’t got to it yet, you will not have wasted your visit. You can study tu Espanol!!
Buena idea o no????
What you didn’t see was our private air show yesterday. Not sure who they were or what they were doing…
There were two fighter jets repeatedly doing low passes over the lake and hills. Nice but loud.

…no not me but rather, the weather is getting old. I have waited all day in the hopes of posting sunny skies and warm temps but alas!
...the view from my kitchen window!
...the view from the living room was no better!
Looking out towards the lake it was even worse, new snow on the 'hills' and shortly after this photo, we were treated to whitecaps on the lake!!
Even though the calander states it is Thursday, April 28th the girls seem to know better. They sent us a memo requesting we head south pronto!
Snuggled as best they can with the fireplace running all day!
So what to do but make a crock pot of halibut chowder with a Thai curry base………
...served with the appropriate beverages of course! Dinner is served, hopefully Colin will get home soon or the beverages may be gone!!

Thanks to my plant sitters on the Isla de la Piedra, I can show all the skeptics that my plumaria plant really does bloom….just not when I’m there. Thanks for the photos.
I took this shortly before we left, my stick plants!
The promise of things to come!
Isn't it beautiful? Now if only you could smell the fragrance........

Are you interested? This motorhome took two years to construct, looks rugged but still sets up as luxurious as any Class A RV.
Just a regular truck designed to travel anywhere.
Yet with the push of a button it expands...
So modern looking.
I have no idea the cost but it is for sale in Australia. It was built for some CEO who no longer needs it. If you are interested in more photos and all the features and specifics click here. It really is a marvel, a perfect way to travel Europe.
