Rain! Sure is nice to have it now.

      Someone's looking through the sky 

Often in July you expect Sun 🌞😎 & warm weather here on the island,  remembering my time working in the woods, always thought middle of July we'd be off for fire season, till later in September, or at least Labour Day long weekend. Sometimes earlier.

Having the rain now is a blessing for many reasons, especially fire 🔥 rating and access to the wood's for camping, fishing, and hiking trails. Although for me right now,I just like to hear the sound of the drops on the roof of our trailer, light rain like this sounds great. 

We have no big plans for today, and yesterday was a travel day to Chemainus and back for our annual Dr checkup, all good he said. A friend asked if we'd like a few more cherries last evening when we came home 🍒🍒, fantastic, I'll go get those this morning, great he picked before the rain. 

We will have access to our new mobile home shed after the weekend, that will give us opportunity to bring all the tools and wood from my shed, start to get ready for end of month move. 

We have been asked many times what will you do with your trailer? We plan to make our trip to Grande Prairie this September, as usual, then upon our return, likely sell it, Rambo, I haven't decided yet, he's a pretty good truck, be tough to give him up, but maybe. Always I say "See how it goes" as we make decisions to liquidate our beloved trailer and truck. Been a great time traveling as we have, but this year be a no go to USA, or Mexico, so time to change it up! 

Exactly how, we are thinking Portugal, Spain, Greece now, had a good conversation with our DR yesterday about this as he was just there last fall, said how beautiful it was, and gave me a few hints at where to go, and what to watch out for. I'll likely book this when we return from our trip this fall. We don't book too far in advance, I been looking, still lots of availability right now. 

Our attention really on getting into our new place next month, then a little organized, attend our granddaughters wedding, then off we go for our fall trip. 
As always never a dull moment 😃 keep moving, that's us. 

New 🛞 tires on Rambo next, and a little check up before we go, a little bit of wash up on our CC our trailer, then hitting the road, close stop first, Qualicum Bay for a week before we leave the island, then ferry ⛴️ to the mainland. 

Seems easy as I write, but will be another adventure I'm sure, never really the same each time, and this time I want to go a route we haven't for awhile, through to Kelowna, then to Merritt and North on 97, towards Prince George, then east to GP, stopping at McKenzie BC to visit a friend. 

Ya know we have friends most every route we go, sometimes hard to make a turn, as we'd like to turn this way, a friend here we haven't seen in awhile. This year we start our trip a little later as wedding is middle of August. Not a problem, just a change. I wonder what next spring will be like for us? Will we still have the trailer, will we travel? If so how? 

Lot's of questions, but that's ok, better to have some indecision, than have it all planned I think. 

We have the next three days planned, we are going to Americos moms place for dinner, were eating that darn rooster 🐓 LoL, then two anniversary parties 🎉 🎉  Friday and Saturday. Way too much excitement for us! Then Sunday again, weeks sure motor on by fast. 

I remember Polly's Mom Memere would say that as you age days, weeks, months go faster, all adding up to years flying by. I see this now, faster than we'd think. 

We have made our last 10 years in retirement one adventure after another, I'm hoping this never stops. 

Love our life ❤️
