nk'mip #197

On Saturday evening .. .after the outside chores were completed ..

my beloved vacuumed the house. ..so I could leave.

He wondered. .. ."can you do the five hour drive?"

I wondered .. ."how early can you get up?"

I woke up at 4:30. . .and we were on the road by 5:00 AM.

Having no coffee in hand . ..

we pledged to one another ..

that we could make it up the mountain and enjoy some breakfast at Manning Park Resort.

We got there at 7 ish .. and they open on Sundays. . .at 8 ish.

So .. .we drove to Princeton to the A&W to enjoy a hearty and delicious bacon & EGGER.

At their door .. was a sign .. no coffee.

Surely they jest .. .

The girl said .. "oh ..we've had the worst morning .. the coffee maker blew up"

I glanced in the obvious direction and saw the coffee maker appearing unblown. .

but gave her the appropriate sympathizing response.

My beloved. ..ran across to Chevron and came back with two large fairly fresh dark roasts. .

and I ordered up two bacon & EGGERS .


We rode into Osoyoos town ..

which is Canada's very own dessert.

It was still too earlyto claim our campsite .. . so we went to our favorite little store ..

the Home Hardware ..

where instead of purchasing my souvenir at the end of holiday . .

I picked it out first . .

They had an assortment of gravity lounges that I now affectionately call the
Ankle Reducer.

Oh . ..bliss.

My beloved packed my prize out of the store ..

and tucked it safely into the storage compartment of the trailer.

Upon arriving at Nk'mip . . .

we backed into our spot ..

unloaded the Ankle reducer ..

and there I sat . . .

whilst the all important connections were made.

He connected the manly things. .

while I connected my notebook.

Our last camping trip. .

we had cable and wi fi ..

this camping trip. .

we have wi fi . .

and our next planned trip. .

we'll have the mountains and lakes .. .

and I'll not be reporting ..

a thing.


Since I get but one Sabbatical a year. .

I save it. .

and report to you each day this week. .

from #197 . . .

Thank you .. .from the bottom of my heart for covering me in your prayers. .

I'm feeling much better. .

It may be the Ankle Reducer ..

but I rather suspect I've been blessed with healing.

Speaking of prayer . ..

the dessert here has seen no rain in months . .

but as we ate under our awning ..

the rain fell. .

"I prayed for Judy's corn crop" .. .I said. .

I smiled.

All for now . .

with love,

  6. Somehow you can take any vacation and make it look like so very much fun! I think the ankle reducer will help make everything better, especially sitting by the water on a camping excursion. I know some others who would appreciate your prayers for rain...you have a good connection. Hope every day is relaxing and memory making.

  7. Yes! Prayers do work!

    I love the "ankle reducer" - I have one myself on my lanai...I'm not using it as often as I should these days. Perhaps soon...

    Enjoy your vacation...relax your back...and appreciate that lovely spot you're in.
