What a feast! Rick and Paulette were so gracious and kind to invite us over for a BBQ this evening, for our first real night back at the Sands RV and Golf Resort. It is so much fun to meet new people that you have " RV blogged" with over the past couple of years, and so this evening we met a wonderful couple, Russ and Donna from Oregon who write " Travels in Therapy ". As everyone always says it is a small world, we also met Ken and Karen. They live only 7 km away from us in Scotch Creek, BC in the Shuswap area. Even though we were not meant to meet Ken and Karen till the BBQ in the evening, we actually met first thing in the morning at the laundry room! So, by supper it was like meeting old friends - ha! They had been going to Mexico for the past 7 winters, so we had lots of questions about their trips there. If you take a look at Rick's blog, you can catch some pictures of the BBQ. I had my camera with me, but forgot it was in my bag with all the conversations. Speaking of conversations, the topics varied from RV/truck stuff and quilting stuff. Guess which one of us was interested in what!
Paulette and Karen have talked Kim into going to Black Friday shopping. Since she is not a shopper, she'll be encouraging those 2 ladies what to buy. Well, except when they get to Joanne's for fabrics. O my.
We haven't fully set up our little site here, as the work crew is supposed to come and cut some of the Oleander again - in the back it is 11 feet high, and very messy. We are not very happy with that, however, in all fairness, we came earlier than expected. The rig will get hooked back up today and moved over a couple of feet, as we cannot get the truck in easily to the lot.
You would think we would come here to relax. Yeah, right. The schedule has started, with the BBQ last night, running around today, quilting tomorrow, Thanksgiving dinner at the clubhouse Thursday, BF shopping on Friday...... whew.
Thanks again, Rick and Paulette. Fantastic evening. Fantastic meal. Fantastic company. Ok: Rick didn't say anything in his blog about Ryley. She thought she would have some steak as well. As Rick came into their 5th wheel, up the stairs with a plate full of steaks, Ryley helped herself to one off the plate. So, entertainment was added to the evening as well.

We had a great time as well and it was great to make new friends. Wasn't today just beautiful?
ReplyDeleteThanks for 'ratting me out' to blogland! I honestly thought my Dad was offering me a whole plate of steaks and I only snatched 1 - 1 measly steak and I never even got to keep it. At least I did manage to get a few bites after dinner so I was happy!
