Susan arrived at supper time last night, and then took me out to the lark restaurant!  We decided to save the soup for today.

  Derek and I finished up with the winterizing of his place, while Michele and Tiffany put on the last coat of paint.  Somehow in-between the work, they managed to make brunch.  Derek cooked the chops, dogs, and potatoes.  Which included mini blueberry pancakes, toast, fruit, grilled pork chops, potatoes, and hotdogs! Just cleaning out the fridge, making sure there were no leftovers to take home!  After which hugs were given, especially to Tiffany.  She was catching a plane later that day back to Kelowna BC, and I will not see her again until Christmas!  All in all, I believe we had a great time.  A very short time, but still a great time to finish off the camping season, for Derek and some of his family. Hopefully next year there will be more opportunities to spend some more time with every one...

  Today it is back to the list's, yes I said list's!!!  Only three sleeps left here, so I have four list's started.  One for each day.  Possibly I shall get them done sooner than expected, this would be a bonus.  Or would it?  Would this mean we would go home a day earlier?  Probably not.  But it sure would be nice to be prepared.

  Susan and I heard Donald and Darlene pull into the village early yesterday evening.  They are also shutting down for the season this weekend.  I would imagine Donald will be by to pick me up for coffee this morning.  We only have today and tomorrow for this seasonal ritual, and then this will also be done for this neck of the woods until next spring!  Talk about great timing this year, both of us doing our final close up's virtually at the same time.  And it's the annual Fall supper on Sunday!  Yes, all four of us are going.  We are told by the local people just make sure you bring your appetites!

  Today we shall start working on Saturday's list, and I am sure a few items will get done off of the next days list's as well.  Somehow life has thrown us curves, but we adapt and continue on!  For Susan and I we make list's, (especially me) to keep things simple.  That way I can remember what got done, what still needs to be done, and so on.  This is one of our solutions to Building the Simple life...................
