The tumultuous last three weeks

We decided that we needed a vehicle!  After spending most of 2013 car-less, we were tired of walking, bussing or begging rides or borrowing  vehicles.  We went to Maple Ridge Chrysler and bought a 2010 Jeep Liberty.  From now on known as “Jeepers”

So we drove the jeep up to Osoyoos to bring the motorhome back to the coast. 

Everything ran great in both the motorhome and jeep and we parked the motorhome on the street around the corner from our daughter Alyssa’s house, while we unpacked all of our possessions which had been in storage since Al’s return from Manitoba.

it's all moved in..

With all of our running around Al ended up with a summer cold and he was feeling miserable and grumpy while unpacking when he slipped on the stairs of the motorhome and landed sideways on his foot. Yup! A broken bone later and he is in a cast and on crutches.

We helped our daughter, Christi move into her new townhouse, of course Al was on supervisor duty and I was on Alex duty, following him around.

Jackie and Brian helped 

Corry and Stephen got the important stuff done..

We moved into a Aldergrove RV Park for a few days.

daughter, Alyssa helped to get us settled..

One week later he had the cast removed and a “boot” put on.

the $200 boot..

We headed out on our first road trip in Dino with Al driving and me following behind in Jeepers! We were on our way to Cranbrook and spent the first night at Kettle Valley Villas and RV Park.  A lovely little park behind a small golf course.

And then we parked on Al’s sister’s yard on the outskirts of Cranbrook.
