OMG

We have to leave Seal Bay on Thursday and cannot check in to Country Maples until Friday, guess what it is going to cost for one night???????...$46....I wonder what they have that is worth $46 a night, maybe I will use Passport America, what do you think, should I try? I know I can't use AOR, but nothing says no PA....too hot to park on the street, damn weather anyway..stay tuned for more drama while raising Havoc..

Raising Havoc Update!

Hi, to all my faithful and not so faithful followers, our plans have changed...probably not for the last time, who knows...we are not leaving the island until some time in October after we get Royanne settled in Fort Victoria in her new home - 35' Everest 5th wheel.....October 1, not sure how long it will take and she will have a lot to learn about living in a 5th wheel....will be going up through the Okanagan and then over to Lethbridge to cross the border and head to San Antonio, Texas, via Yellowstone park and other points of interest. Plan (I use that word loosely) to be in SA, TX Oct. 30 for a month then down to Brownsville for a week, back to SA for another week and then head west......will leave the plans there...we are having a very warm and sunny 2 weeks in Seal Bay, Courtenay...missed the Farmers Market again today, closes at 12 noon and I slept in, not until 12, ha ha but late enough not to get ready in time to go....Havoc is on a weight loss program and needs an hour walk, I just go along to supervise, right!

Royanne bought 5th wheel.

No pictures...Royanne and Simmah drove up from Victoria and we met her at Unicorn RV in Nanaimo and she made a deal on a 36' Everest with a sunken living room, fireplace and the neatest layout ever...so exciting and she will be picking it up at the end of the month....she did all the negotiating herself, way to go girl...we are proud of you. Next challenge, putting in the w/d combo, very narrow doors, but according to measurements it will fit...even Art is impressed with the deal Royanne made on her new home..

We have company

Barry and Joan dropped by for a visit all the way from Parksville, not for lunch or dinner or drinks, but fat free pretzels, fat free creamed cheese, homemade pepper jelly and iced coffee made in my Magic Bullet....see how they adore each other, must have been the coffee..

As you can see, we have the nicest site at Seal Bay RV Park, we are very happy, no speeding vehicles, no dust and the deer have not eaten my pansies...all is great, but I do miss my walking partner...

Back at Seal Bay

We arrived at noon today, nice to be back in Seal Bay RV Park....will start my walking regime in the morning but without my new friend, Marianne, had to leave her behind in Country Maples.....reports of bears being spotted but I have Havoc and a bear bell, ha ha....lots of Holiday Trails members here, so will have fun visiting tomorrow....Royanne is still shopping for a 5th wheel and has found an Everest with a sunken living room, a very nice layout, now they just have to agree on a price, so keep your fingers crossed, this is a whole new avenue for her to negotiate a price for something she really wants, good experience...at least at Seal Bay I can update my blog even if I don't have earth shattering news...

Changing Plans, Oh Boy!

Our plans have changed.....we will be leaving the island around Sept. 15, staying here to help Royanne get settled in Fort Victoria, in the 5th wheel, when she buys it....not that much out there for sale with what she wants, 35', counter space, w/d hook-up, not too much to ask, ha ha...champagne taste on a beer income or less....should be at the World's Fair (Agassiz Corn Festival) Sept. 19 unless of course there is another plan change....will write more we we get up to Seal Bay and a decent wifi connections....

Pie Iron Party on Canada Day!

Paul and Teresa, owners of Seal Bay RV Park joined us for Canada celebrations and several beer.





More of the group enjoying the fantastic weather, social chit chat and of course a drink or two.



Can you tell this is the food table, Marianne showing Art how to load up his pie iron with his favourite foods.





Pie iron cook your favourite sandwich and then for dessert is pie iron blueberry pie, fantastic, some even added a piece of apple. Can hardly wait to do this again and again.
