October 3 to 14, 2009

We received some pictures from a photo session our son and daughter-in-law had done while we were still in Chilliwack. There are lots of great pictures and they will be great memories for us.

We've had a pretty good last two weeks. There has been lots to do getting ready for our big trip back to Arizona. We've had some issues with the car that have been fixed and we had an issue with the propane furnace in the motorhome that has also been fixed. Both times the fix was fairly easy so, in the end no big problem. The furnace issue turned out to be a fried control board and the RV repair shop happened to have the part and even though they were booked up for the next few weeks they managed to fit us in and make the repair on the same day I went in to see them. Of course it meant packing the motorhome up getting it ready for travel; whenever we have to move it requires a lot of work changing our house back into a vehicle - things have to be put away and properly stowed so they won't break or cause any other distractions. We're getting pretty good at it now.

There will be a big rush to do our food shopping over the next few days, picking up items we like that aren't available in the south. We'll also be getting our insurance in order, arranging our electrical hookup and phone connection in Arizona, and saying our final goodbye's to friends and family.

The campground is starting to empty. Most of the seasonals will be leaving next week, some going to Florida, some to Texas and some to Arizona. Hopefully the weather improves by then. It will be minus 5 celcius tonight; we are wondering why we're still here. Oh well, it won't be long now. The countdown has begun!
