It's a new day, a new dawn...

Following two weeks of problems with Canadian Customs and getting vehicle titles mailed to us from U.S. banks, getting kicked out of Park Royal RV park due to our dog Gingee peeing on their grass and our complaining about the noise from the sleezy motel next door, forgetting a most important lunch date with one of our favorite aunts and encountering the Nazi RV Park owner at Oxbow RV park (Penticton), we are happy to report that we now have all our vehicles across the border into Canada.

Things are definitely looking up for us.  We're still in Penticton, British Columbia, the small Okanagan city between two lakes. We are now camped across the road from Skaha Lake at South Beach Gardens RV Park, a beautiful park along the old Oxbow Channel.

John and I have enjoyed visits with John's dad and step mom and have made it a routine to go to Tim Horton's at least once a day for either coffee, a donut, or soup and sandwich or all four! Its been fun to people watch from the resturant that has great prices for good food.

 We've also enjoyed just exploring around Penticton and seeing some of the everyday sites.

We had a very good burger from Burger 55 one afternoon.

We still await the title for The Jazz which is due to arrive tomorrow. If it does arrive, we'll get right back down to the border to finish processing our RV into the country. We think we'll be heading down towards Vancouver for a visit with Jeremy, John's oldest son, early next week, then on to Parksville on Vancouver Island later in the week where we will establish our home base.

It is true that everyday is a new day to create happiness. But some days are more of a challenge than others.

Here's wishing you ideal conditions for creating happiness in your lives.
