Where does the time go ? Jamie and I have been here in Terrace BC going on 10 weeks now. Of which I have only wore my shorts two times. Both times because we were going fishing and I wanted to stand in the water. The weather has been absolutely awful this summer. Or actually I don’t think summer has started. Has it ???

I have taken up a new sport. Right up my alley. A single sport, I have no one to answer to. A easy sport not athletic, no running or exercise involved. I am my own boss, or coach. I only answer to myself. It is fishing. My sister Lynne has loved it for years. She has always raved about it and I was like not for me. But I think I finally found a sport I like. ( sporty me …. inside joke) we go fishing most Sundays, at first I was really awful at casting. But Jamie told me just keep practicing and you’ll get better. So I stay in one spot and I practice and practice. Jamie and Mac move all over the place a few time I look up and they are way way down the beach from me. I actually have to yell at them how you guys doing. Thumbs up 👍🏻 all good. They come by me every so often to change hooks as they bring in fish. I keep casting. I am getting better and better each week. But I always stay in the same place, as they move all around way down the beach . They keep getting fish, I get none. Not one fish yet. Even though I am casting as good as them. Then one Sunday we are in Kitimat salmon fishing and my reel keeps breaking, it just falls apart in the lake, then I cast and 1/2 my rod goes flying in the lake. The guys get me a new (old) reel and I am all set again. ( They of course have all new stuff top of the line, I have a Walmart rod/reel and tackle box ( with pretty hooks ) $20.00 total. Still no fish for me. I think we’ll maybe I need to change my hooks like they are. I pick all the pretty ones that I like. Still no fish for me. Not sure what the trick is Finally last Sunday as we are done for the day and heading back to camp I tell Jamie I am getting discouraged. Everyone is catching fish but me. He says so gently………well you need to talk less !!!! I say what ??? he says yes you need to be quiet when you fish. Now I know why they go so far way from me and fish. Because if they are near me I am talking. Guess I don’t like the sport as much as I thought I did. 🤪

Of course there are always some adventures at the laundrymat. Last week I go and as I had said before you put your wash in and then sit in your car. Then put your stuff in dryer and sit in the car…no loitering. Also no folding you have to take it all home. But now that I have become friends with the lady working there she says if I come early when no one is there I can fold. So I go early. Anyway!!!! Last week I go early there is an older gentleman ( about 80) doing his wash too. Just the two of us. I put my stuff in the wash and go to my car. He stays in the Laundrymat and reads a book no big deal I don’t care. I put my stuff in dryer and go sit in car. I come back in as my dryers are finishing I time them so I can fold one at a time while the others keep running ( I know it’s a complicated thing going to the Laundrymat ) I have 3 loads that day. I fold the first and then start the second, I tell the older gentlemen I have 6 minutes left on my dryer if he would like it. He says well you need to get out of my way, you know you are supposed to keep 6 feet from me. I am like ok I move down and let him take my free 6 minutes. I finish folding my second load then start my third load and I tell him I have time left on this dryer too if he would like it 8 minutes. He says NO THANKS !!! Your to close to me for my comfort. WOW. I am taken aback. I fold my stuff and head towards the door, I can only carry two loads the first time so I have to come back for the third load. The old geeser is using my free 8 minutes as soon as I leave. I get my stuff and head towards the door and he hurried over to the door to hold it open for me. I said no thanks your to close to me… Oh man this Covid thing is getting to me. I am fighting with an 80 year old at the Laundrymat. Lol lol 😂

Trailer life is great and we are loving it. It is almost like playing house. It takes so little time to do anything housework, cooking, I have all mismatched pots and pans, only a few bowls when I run out I am out, no extra towels so you better be careful not to dirty the one you have. Life is so simple but so perfect. I hope I feel like this for a long long time. Because I just might never get a house again. I will always be able to just pick up and move. It is such a feeling of freedom❤️

My health is still good. I do have some worries though. I am worried about running out of all my supplements from Mexico. As Covid-19 gets worse and worse in the USA 🇺🇸 and Mexico 🇲🇽 I wonder if I will ever be able to go back. And if not what then ?? so far the clinic in Tijuana is not willing to send anything by mail or UPS but maybe as time goes by they will. I guess I will wait and see. The other thing is this week when I read that Kelly Preston ( John Travolta’s wife) died from breast cancer it just really scared me. I cried and cried. So many women are still dying of breast cancer. I just don’t want to become one of those statistics. I don’t want to die from mastastic breast cancer. I DON’T WANT TO !!!!I am sure nobody does. I also believe that all the women who have, are thinking the same things the weeks and days before they do die from breast cancer. My heart ❤️ goes out to all of them. To all of us with breast cancer ❤️💔
