Workin' Hard

You know I am. Closing day is fast approaching, and still have a lot to do. My daughter and her fellow came with a cattle trailer to haul off stuff to the Goodwill Store. My grand daughter and her three kids plus one she was keeping came, and my other grand daughter and her fellow came, my son in law, her father and step mom came. Guess who sat in a chair and watched! Me, of course. They did get a lot of "stuff" loaded, and off to the the Goodwill Store, guess what, they wouldn't accept the sofa/hide a bed, because it had a mattress, wouldn't accept a console TV or two stereos, what happened to their needing goods, to keep the handicapped busy? Thought they taught people how to repair TVs and computers etc. I won't be sending anything else there. Won't shop there either! I thought they were a little high in price anyway. Things are getting done. I am hoping the weather will hold and we can get out soon. It snowed here today, just a dusting, and now light rain. It was really cold in the house. No heat, just a couple of portable heaters, and they DID NOT keep the house warm, plus people keeping the door open, and then saying, it's cold in here? I appreciated all the help, and it was a nice visit with my gkids!

Busy as a bee!

The last few days have really been busy. One last garage sale, which netted $0, so glad that is over. NO MORE GARAGE SALES, EVER! I am done. Closing is the 21st and I have to have everything out of the house by then. My poor daughter is doing all the work. I just sit and "supervise". I hope the weather holds, and we can get everything out before it rains. I am in a lot of pain, and just really tired at night. Most of the time I don't even read the blogs. I have some items listed on e-bay that I must check on every now and then. My energy level is very low. I take vitamins but they don't seem to make me more energetic. I take so many pills I rattle when I walk!
Tomorrow the grocery store, and it's going to rain. Life is grand?

Who Dat?

Wonder who that good looking chick is?

Wooden Bridge Old Alaska Hwy

This is a old wooden bridge on the Old Alaska Hwy. We camped right under it, and drove over it on our way out.

Liard River Provential Park,BC

Wonder where the car wash is? Alaska puts an oily substance on the roads to keep the dust down. Boy, it sure makes a mess on vehicles. The metal running boards on our truck was so slick, I had to be really careful.This was a beautiful park, no hookups and no one else in the park. We did eat out when we got the chance. My mother and step dad had been up the year before and warned us not to eat the beef, because Canada didn't have inspections like the US. Shoot, we ate everything we could. Course you know french fries come with "gravy". First time I had ever had that. We had breakfast and lunch in the rig, and most of the time supper too. But when we got the chance we ate at restaurants. My favorite hamburger was at Pink Mountain, loaded with gravy. And, I lost about 15 pounds!

Alaska bound! /Dawson Creek, BC

My husband and I made a wonderful trip to Alaska. We didn't even leave Texas until Sept. 1. There was a chance we might get caught in snow storm, but that didn't happen. We had been to Canada before so we just made a straight shot up through Great Falls,MT and stopped at Calgary, then to Edmonton. I loved Edmonton, went to the big Mall, at that time it was the largest in the world.
