Goin' for a walk

Georgie and I just got back from our morning walk. Its very difficult to walk a cat. I started out with a fresh cup of tea but that was gone before we got done with the squirrel in the tree. We went for a long walk around about 1/2 of the campground. For a wonder, micro-brain even recognized the way home despite it not involving retracing our steps. He got to that stage at Noble's Point (Candle Lake) so perhaps there is hope that he will get to know how to go for walks here as well. You have to be REALLY patient to walk a cat. He had to chew grass, chase the squirrel, watch several dogs, roll in the road, smell the garbage cans, rub the doors to Bernie's shop, among other important activities.

The sun has finally come out here. I stopped looking at Environment Canada and started looking at the Farmzone forecast and it appears to have resulted in better weather. Environment Canada still has rain on for today but Farmzone said it would be sunny and sure enough, there's the sun. Its kind of an agricultural area here so that likely explains why Farmzone works better than Environment Canada.

There's a mid-sized family reunion happening up the hill from where we are parked. Lots of tents and a few trailers, a bunch of really fat women and many kids. I felt sorry for them last night in the rain but today they are having a grand day.

Andrea and Mike are supposed to be arriving here for dinner and then we will take them out on the water. Andrea is Dan's daughter; Marilyn's niece in other words. She and Mike are vacationing at Sorrento which is about an hour northeast of here, on one of the arms of the Shuswap Lakes.

The boss says it is time I started making dinner.
