August arrived and with it good old Kamloops summer weather.

At the start of August we met Kevin, Tamara, Sage and Conrad in Merritt at Rotary Park for a socially distance visit. We took along GGMa so she had a chance to get out of the The Shores for a few hours and have a picnic lunch with family. It was a great day.

A couple days later Jeff, Lindsay, Zach and Oliver stopped in on their way home from Mount Robson Provincial Park. They had just completed a four day hike to Berg Mountain and Zach and Oliver were staying with us for the visited for the remainder of the week at “Namma and Pops Summer Camp”.
It was busy few days with the boys. Everything from swimming in the river, visiting the wildlife park to seeing the garden trains at my friends Tom and Paulette’s home.

Plus crafts at home like sewing projects, cement projects and stepping stones. We kept them busy. If you asked the boys they would probably say the best part was the daily afternoon trip to Scoops for ice cream.

Brenda continues her 3 times weekly line dancing and I am still strummin’ at either Riverside Park or at Tom’s; all the activities we do are socially distanced.

That’s about it for August.

July arrived and Covid is still here and we expect it to be here until next year. So we better learn to live with it and that just takes a bit of adjusting.

Early in July Brent and I went for a flight in “Desrocher One”. It’s kind of like Air Force One just a bit smaller. What a fun morning. We flew out to Shuswap Lake, over to Salmon Arm, headed for Vernon and then back to Kamloops following the highway. Along the way Brent let me fly the plane for a while which was a lot of fun. Along the way he demonstrated some aeronautical maneuvers which was cool.
Brent is a very careful and confident pilot. He made it a great day.

Then in mid July we headed to Vancouver for a couple days. It gave us a chance to see George, Chantell, and Raven; Chris was working. Plus we stopped in and saw Maureen and Art, we were lucky that Rose stopped by for a visit. Then on the way home we loaded up with blueberries at Peace Arch Blueberry Farm.

That’s about it for July.
