Another week goes by in rainy Surrey.

The week of April 9th to April 17th

Monday we picked up Steve and Dianne for our bi-annual trip together to the Big Ridge Brewery in Surrey for their burger and beer special. As always a great visit catching up with their busy week and ours.

Friday we went to Squamish to visit Garrett and Kat, deliver their Costco purchases that I made on their behalf and go out for dinner. The rain was torrential driving down the Squamish Highway. Our new car, Ford Edge Sport, certainly handles wet roads well. I am very happy with the "feel" of no slipping. My cold has subsided pretty much so I think I am no longer contagious.

While waiting for Garrett and Kat to come home from work we visited our friends Delle and Chris, who live only a short distance from Garrett's townhouse. A great couple of hours with tea and cookies. :)

For dinner we took the kids out for dinner to a new place in downtown Squamish called the Copper Coil. Delicious barbecued meat and great beer. This place has a great neighbourhood pub feel.  We've done a few BBQ's in the US but none as good as this place.

Back home Saturday morning. Ray has started coming down with my horrible cold. Poor guy. We needed to be home so that we could let Kerri and Steve get their tent trailer out of the garage Sunday morning. We have some furniture pieces arriving for our new house this week and needed the space.

Freya all tuckered out from her visit with her sister, Kira. She wanted me to play with her with all of her toys and then just collapsed! lol

Monday morning we were off again early on the ferry to Nanaimo for our doctor's appointments. Another very wet rainy day. Hope that our daughter Kristi and her husband Jason are managing to stay dry in their new trailer this week. Kristi took a week's holiday to go fishing and camping with Jason at Kissinger Lake, near Lake Cowichan.

Tuesday we woke up to clearing skies ... yeah. Today we have to drive to Lake Cowichan and sign up for our new post office box that has a 2 month wait list. There is a scheduled showing today at Dad's house at 4 pm. We ended up taking the 12:45 ferry back and parked down the road for 1/2 hour until they were finished. We are sure hoping the house sells soon. Keeping it clean with a dog that is in a major spring shed is a challenge and we find we are eating out a whole bunch more with showings so we don't make a mess. Counting down the days until we move into our new house, May 15th. lol
