Shaun added cedar trim around the "courtyard's" doors and windows to give it a more finished look. We treated the deck, the trim, and the fence with Thompson's protectant and all of the cedar looks better than ever. Finally, we have begun to actually enjoy our time on the deck. We often drink our coffee there and I have established a new location for my hammock. |
We began the month still on vacation in Turkey, and I ended the month at Bonaparte Lake on a guys' fishing trip. In between, we enjoyed improving weather and some good times at home. We were able to visit all four of our parents, my sister, and my niece before taking the ferry back to the island. The best part of returning home from holiday is always seeing Vecsey, though. As usual, we walked her a lot and spent as much time with her as possible. She is swimming more and more often as the days become warmer. We really enjoyed our vacation, but it was also nice to return to friends here in Honeymoon Bay and often look forward to evenings spent with Shaun & Debbie. We were able to transport 37 plants from Lisa's mom to our place, so I've spent a considerable amount of time transplanting bushes and flowers. I also built a raised vegetable garden which then required me to sift a lot of soil in order to fill it. I joined Shaun and four others on a five night fishing trip to Bonaparte Lake, approximately 88 km north of Kamloops. The weather was great until the last full day so I actually spent more time in a boat than anticipated. I ended up catching six fish (two of which were kept), although I still refuse to "bonk" them. We drank too much and laughed a lot, so the trip was a success. I particularly enjoyed the sunsets over the lake, but wished I was sharing them with my wife. This was the longest that I've EVER been away from Lisa since I've known her, so I really missed her and couldn't wait to get home. While the boys were away, Lisa and Debbie kayaked, cycled, hiked, played tennis, and enjoyed brunch at "Saison" in Duncan.
