As you are all aware we have not gone south this winter. We purchased our park model and have been busy changing things and getting it arranged to suit us. So far the weather has been pretty good except for one overnight when we woke up to -17.5c. which was pretty cold. After discovering that our water had frozen I went outside to investigate and found that something had nibbled at the insulation around the water line. So out came the hair dryer and I slowly defrosted it and then re wrapped it with insulation.

As for some of the changes we have made, the hedging outside our living room windows have now been removed and we have installed cedar fencing which gives us a better view of the river. As you can see above. We did start to stain the lattice top but stopped as we are not sure if we like the color.
We have also installed the deck along with Susan's new garden box, but we have yet to put the railing up as we have not decided yet how we are going to do it, so we used some pieces of the old fence as a temporary railing.

Here are a couple of pictures after the dump of snow we received, it was about 3 inches. As you can see it is quite picturesque.

Now that the snow has all gone we can now finish off organising the shed and shop so we can start unpacking our storage trailer. That is going to be fun as there are boxes packed up in it that have been packed for 10 years. More about that in the next blog update.
Thats all for now so until next time safe travels and keep warm.

OK, so it has been almost a year since we last posted. A lot has changed since then and I am going to explain what has been going on in our lives.
As you all know we bought a lot at SunKatchers in Keremeos which we just love, and now it is time for change. No we are not leaving SunKatchers, just moooving on up to another lot with a Park Model already on it. Whilst we were south last winter Susan explained that she was done with living in a motor home and I agreed, so we decided to look for a park model. First we started looking at putting a unit on our present lot which was feasable but we really wanted a lot facing the river.
We have been very lucky in selling the motor home and our present lot to a nice lady from Mission who wants to start doing what we have been doing for the past 10 years. After agreeing with her to buy our lot we negotiated with a couple in the park that have been trying to sell their park model facing the river. So on October 1st we become the proud owners of a park model facing the river. Our address will not change just the lot number, but so there is no confusion the complete address is as follows.

#107-4155 Highway 3 West
Keremeos, BC.
V0X1N1

Phone #250-499-2065 Ext.107

2nd picture is a view from the river.

3rd picture is a view from the east side.

4th picture is a view standing where the top picture was taken from.

Last but not least a view towards the river from where our deck will be.

So now you all know what is happening with us as far as living accomadation goes.

As we have sold the motor home we will not be going south this year at least not for 6 months, but we will probably go south for a month or so maybe around February.

Thats about it from here, so take care all of you and even though we are not travelling this year please stay in touch. You are always welcome to come and visit as we still have hook-ups for you.
