CLAUVAL'S TRAVELS: October 10 to 14, 2012; Last family party

October 10 to 14, 2012; Last family party

OCT? 10, Wednesday
Cloudy, windy and rain later in the day!? A quiet day again, not much to report.? We went for our daily walk with Tucker, read, watched the tube and BBQ?ed steaks for dinner.? Peter and I did take a drive into town to meet Gaetan for coffee then came home.? We called everybody to confirm the get together this coming week-end. OCT? 11, Thursday
This was the coldest day yet even with the sun showing up once in a while; the temperature was only 10*C but the wind made it feel like 7*.? I went to get another tank of propane, $24. (the furnace is working a lot lately) and some groceries.? Peter got busy in the afternoon getting a few things more put away for the winter then him and I went to my sister Christiane to pick up a table for Saturday.? Val made a cabbage dish which turned out really good.? Peter served us apple pie and ice cream then we watched the tube for a while. OCT? 12, Friday, furnace problem
The wind was so strong overnight that we had to bring the awning up.? It is 4*C (36*F) at 8 am this morning, Brrrrrrrrrrrr!? The worst of it is that the furnace chose this morning to quit on us so out came the electric heater.? I called LUPIEN RV and when the tech arrived and took the furnace apart, he said he had to change the electronic monitor so took it with him to the shop.? In the mean time, we went into town to get some groceries then stopped at LUPIEN RV to put the repair on our extended warranty.? When we got home, the tech had already been here and put everything back in place so we now have HEAT!? LUPIEN called me saying that the warranty wouldn?t cover the call-out so they reduced it from $85 to $50 + our deductible of $50 on the warranty.? Pretty decent of them; they have been very fair and superb with us.? A lot of shops should learn from these guys about customer service!? Anyway, for dinner, Val made a mixture of pork & beans and pork chops which turned out delicious and as we looked out, it was snowing!? YES, SNOW! We couldn?t believe it however it didn?t last long.? Peter missed out on this dinner but did come over later for a drink. OCT? 13, Saturday, last Family reunion
We got up this morning to 0*C (32F)!? WOW, definitely time to move on!? It is sunny out though but cold most of the day.? Everyone began arriving for the party around 3 pm and it began right away.? Everyone was dressed up in costumes and we had a ball!? Too much to drink and lots of dancing, we ordered pizzas and French fries for dinner and had a feast.? The last person went home around midnight and Michel and Therese stayed at Peter?s house.? Val?s costume was a success thanks to Lise loaning it to her.? The whole family had fun and the evening was a success. OCT? 14, Sunday, hang-over!!!
Yes, a few of us had hang-over this morning but we were still smiling.? Another cold and cloudy day, it went as high as 9*C.? Everyone basically just sat and watched the tube.? We watched this guy (Can?t remember his name) who went up in a balloon up to 35 miles high then jump, broke the sound barrier and parachute to the ground.? Therese and Michel left around 3 pm after saying goodbyes and hugs.? Val made a stew for dinner.? It was to bed early tonight. 9 days to our departure
