1 to 15 April 2022   16 to 30 April 2022



Saturday, April 16, 2022.


When I woke up this morning, I saw some white stuff on the grass.


We skyped with Jeremy, Kristin and Natasha when she is not moving.
 

A day off for me and one of crochet for Michele.



Sunday, April 17, 2022.


Natasha and her Easter Egg Hunt.
 

We are invited to Jannie and Jan's place for supper. Patricia and Andrew are with them. A good meal with good people.

A Monday at home.
I noticed the swans made a nest nearby. The dad is on the water eating while the mom looks after the eggs.


Father and mother.
 

When we talk about plastic being everywhere, it is now part of the nest.




Tuesday, April 19, 2022.


Today, I de-winterize the MH. I empty the whole water system of the MH. This removes the antifreeze liquid and will be replaced by freshwater. I will rinse with fresh water until the antifreeze smell and taste are gone. It takes time.


Look at what the wind brought us! A floating island. Jan will use his grapple to move it out of there.


The pool is moving along nicely.




Wednesday, April 20, 2022.


Guess what I am doing today?
Yep, I am helping build a deck 25 feet by 12 feet.
We started at 8 am.


Things are moving along fast!
   


By two in the afternoon, we are done.
 

We probably could have been done before lunch if Jan had not been distracted by phone calls...



Thursday, April 21, 2022.


The plan for today was to move stuff from the house to the MH. It did not happen. It rained for almost the whole day.
Some photos from Jeremy. He sold his boat.


He sent photos of the boat while having fun...

We attack the MH today.
Michele does a clean-up inside. It is mostly dusty from 6 months in storage.


Michele is done with the clean-up. I am done moving stuff in the basement.


More is happening with the new pool. The outside of the pool has to be filled with gravel. I had never seen a slinger truck before.


The truck operator is good. I am impressed.
 

They only fill the outside halfway because they still have stuff to do outside the pool.



Saturday, April 23, 2022.


Jannie and Jan are coming over for supper. This is the last time we can entertain them in the house.
This is the first time I cook a big piece of meat like this one. I am doing it in the Crock-Pot.


I forgot to take photos again! As for the meal, the meat was super tender.



Sunday, April 24, 2022.


Again, no photos of today. We spent the day moving our stuff from the house to the MH. It is incredible how much stuff you accumulate when you have the room. At the end of the day, we only have what we need for tonight and tomorrow morning left in the house. Five or six more trips and we will be done.



Monday, April 25, 2022


It is time to move to our new home, but first, we need to fill the MH with propane.
We are surprised to see the price of propane at only $ 0.65 per litre.


Home, sweet home. At least until Monday, May 9. We still have a few more appointments to go to, so things could change.


We have big news to announce. Jeremy and his family are moving to Comox, Vancouver Island, British Columbia this summer. Take a guess where we are going this summer?



Tuesday, April 26, 2022.


I am helping Jan this morning. The Park is set to open on Sunday, May first. My job is to open all the water taps to flush the water system on the seasonal side of the Park.
 

I have around 150 taps to open and flush.


Sometimes you come across a surprise.


Like a robin's nest.




Wednesday, April 27, 2022.


I am back in the park helping Jan.
Jan is using his new grapple to move the poles blocking some areas of the Park.
 
 

He should probably shorten the poles a little.
 

Michele is taking a photo of me coming from working in the Park.

A poor little girl with an eye infection. Oh, the life of a little girl.
 

Another surprise! The latest news about our reclining chairs was that they were coming sometime at the end of June, maybe. We got a call and they are in!!!
Goodbye sofa.


We borrowed Jan's truck to return the sofa and pick up the new chairs at The Bricks.


They are pretty light, so Michele helped me bring them inside the MH.


Here they are...

Natasha is feeling much better today.


We are visiting Benoit one last time before we travel west for the summer (and more).
Montreal, here we come.
 


Benoit.


We will be with Benoit for two days.



Saturday, April 30, 2022.


Jeremy is showing Natasha how to wash her bike.


I am up way before Benoit. I went for a walk and went by the mental hospital. I walk pretty fast to make sure they do not pick me up by mistake, or not.


I love them.
 

Benoit has some pretty cool ideas for decorating his apartment.
 


Now that everything is on the wall that needs to be on the wall, Benoit cuts Michele's hair.
 

Food time!


We had a good day with Benoit.

Until next time.

Life is good...
