Well it has been one month since Jamie and I moved from our acreage to our trailer. So far so good. We are both loving it, no complaints at all we are so happy. And happy to be together with no worries of grass or flowerbeds. Hopefully we never miss it. Time will tell.
We started out living in Stony Plain because we thought Jamie was going to work from there towards Edson. But as usual the pipeline has a mind of its own and everything changed. We are now in Terrace BC. It is so Beautiful here. we are in love with it. The mountains always make me feel at peace. Our campground is right on a lake. Lakelse. We have tried fishing, I am not very good. I threw the rod in the water twice and dropped the hook at my feet to many times to count. Hopefully over the summer I will get better. Lol lol. Time will tell.
One of the best things about being here is that both the boys are here with us too. Gordon and Jen actually have the trailer too. Mac is staying at camp as Jolee and the kids could not come for the summer. Hopefully they can make it here sometime through the summer. Would be so nice for all of us to be together. Time will tell.
We have a little black bear that hangs around the campground and the very first morning we saw it. Well of course I was a little freaked out. The boys got me bear spray and showed me how to use it also a air horn. But really who are we kidding if I see that bear when I am out. I am running like hell I will probably drop the bear spray and air horn. Or else I will be frozen stiff unable to run, or spray, or blow the horn, and the bear will eat me. Lol lol . Time will tell.
Things are slowly starting to open up here. I have found very few people are wearing masks or gloves. I did some research and there doesn’t seem to be any cases of coved-19 in the area so I guess that’s why. But as things open the mall has restrictions. Arrows where to walk hand sanitizer everywhere and lots of security. So I hope they continue to have no cases here. I will continue to wear my mask and use my wipes and hand sanitizer. (Thanks to Jolee)
Our campground is a brand new one on private land. We are sure lucky because no Albertans can stay at any campgrounds in the area. There are signs saying so everywhere. It is a new campground so there are no picnic tables. We tried to buy some in town but of course as everything I seem to need, others are way ahead of me and have thought of these things first. None to be found. So the guys came up with a brilliant idea. The bends of pipe all come in wooden crates. The wood is made of cherrywood from India. The wood is 3X3 square. So they decided to make picnic tables from this wood. They are absolutely beautiful. It took 3 welders and helpers a whole day to make one. The joke is they are free wood but $3000.00 labour. I hope to take one home at the end of the job. I will try to post pictures. I have varathaned them all and the cherry wood is just beautiful. My $3000.00 dollar table. I bet you all wish you could have one when you see it. Hopefully we can get it home as they weigh about 300 lbs each. Time will tell Lol lol
So I have always got a project going here. Of course it gives me something to do. We had a few days of rain so I baked cookies and banana breads for all the guys at coffee break. Then I did all the picnic tables. Then I decided to fix the front cap on our trailer. It has really oxidized bad. I went to the trailer sales in town ( we are about 10 minutes from Terrace) I bought some stuff they assured me would restore the finish…. NOT!!!! So I went on line to figure out how to fix it. Mr Google says to polish it will industrial floor wax. I spent most of Saturday morning looking for someplace to find this wax. Finally I did but it was raining when I got back. It said to wash really good before applying wax. Jamie brought me home a ladder to wash the cap. Well of course a regular ladder is not tall enough for me so I put the ladder on the hitch. It worked good I could reach the top really well. But getting down was not so smooth. I went down ladder, pail of water, cleaner and all. With nothing to hold onto I grabbed the trailer and I just slid down it. Luckily I didn’t get hurt. Except my pride. I was so hoping no one saw me ……… so embarrassing. Well it has rained off and on for the last two days so I haven’t got the wax on. More info to come. Mr Google says I need about 6 to 10 coats. But it better get nice soon could take me some time. Time will tell.
Now my health ……… as we all know the coved has closed all boarders. So I have started to worry about running out of all the supplements from Mexico. My hoxsey being the most important one. I spoke with one of my friends from my Mexico trips. She has cut down on taking everything so she won’t run out. I think I am going to do the same. Although I am so scared to do that. I have talked to Jamie and I am going to call my Dr in Mexico tomorrow and see what he says about my idea. I really can’t see everything being open and me being able to go to Mexico in September. Even if it is open. Do I want to go then? I think not? So I guess we will see. The good thing is that I am continuing to feel really good, I am still following my hoxsey diet. But I do have the odd cheat every once in a while. My cheats are not candy, or junk food, no pop or caffeine, still no pork, or flour or sugar. But ketchup or salsa a few times. And I really liked it. I won’t do it to much I don’t want to get sick again. It scares me to death to go back there. I will take care of me and hopefully my cancer never comes back. But Time will tell. Oh yes Time will tell. 🤞🏻
My pipeline adventures will continue all summer. I so look forward to staying in the mountains and enjoying the lake. We will see what the pipeline has in store for us. I miss my family at home but I will keep in touch. Love you all so much. We have waited a long time to be together like this Jamie and I. So let the fun begin. Time will tell. ❤️❤️❤️
Today’s saying : Memories remind us that nothing lasts forever. Time is precious and should not be wasted. Enjoy life and remember, don’t count the days. Make the days count.
