While not technically on the road yet, we have begun this year’s travel with a traditional “good-bye” stop with our Lindsay “grand-family” in Walnut Grove. Also, an over-nighter in Kitsilano on Thursday gave us a visit with the Shepherdson family, and a chance to see Tess, who named Truck House for us about 5 years ago.

At Walnut Grove, three very active teen-aged grandchildren participate in community, school and musical lives, while busy parents deliver transportation, co-ordination, and a loving home. Along with our own main daily diet of sleeping and reading for the next 5 weeks, we joined Paula and Doug as cheerleaders at a very chilly soccer game this morning. Rebecca’s game ended in a called overtime tie after the lines were whited out by a mix of snow and hail. Meanwhile, Matt was the sound engineer at a play at the Walnut Grove High School, while back at the warm Walnut Groveyard, Hannah was playing piano, and working on a school project.

Tonight, the forecast is for -6 C. I will turn on the Truck House furnace as a protection against frozen water lines.

Tomorrow, we will get on the road early and meet up with Mike and Marlene Harris from Comox with their truck and camper. I received an email with the following links promoting “group” travel. Makes sense to me! Hope you enjoy these. Love to all…
