On The Road Again ...

I took the same route from Vancouver back Summerland that I took from Summerland to Vancouver.   While the fires (then) were away from the route that I would take if I went through Kamloops, I was more concerned about being heights challenged along the Coquihalla Highway.  Left Vancouver around 8:00 am and after several stops including Krauss Berry Farm to get blueberries and strawberries for Heather, and Stokes Corn for our dinner, I arrived in Summerland around 4:30 pm.  How cool is this Corn Drive-Thru You don't even have to get out of your car!   This (Sparks) corn is grown in Chilliwack (awesome!), but these Corn Drive Thru's are plentiful around the area. I made Chinese Dinner for us on August 24.  Here is Shalyn's Instagram message. Thelma and Louise headed to Banff on August 25.  This is the route we took Stayed at a cute B&B called the Holiday Lodge B&B My Room Breakfast We had dinner at the Grizzley House

Long, but very pretty drive from Medicine Hat to Summerland on July 29. Hard to believe that in a couple of days, I will be leaving Vancouver for my meandering journey back home.   Random thoughts:  3 weeks is a very long time to "hang out" with Popo.  We have been very busy accomplishing all the things in her annual "job jar for when Brenda comes".   Things like replanting various plants large and small, purging and cleaning drawers and closets that haven't been touched for a year.  Medical appointments -- eyes, memory assessments.   Patio purge (plants and junk).  Cooking and cleaning activities visiting Uncle Jim in the hospital (fell and broke his hip, surgery to repair and now in rehab),  shopping, dining with Andrew, Erra and the girls, visiting the Berry Farm with Andrew and family... Visits to Gerri and Graeme at Sunset; spending time with your cousins and their significant others and children (no kids yet for 4 Jenn and Kevin), perhaps
