Partly Sunny Day in Osoyoos

Ron & Sheila Read have been visiting us since Tuesday afternoon. They arrived after we survived a terrific rainstorm that washed away a lot of the sand on our beach. It started to dry up and by Wed. morning the parking lot was almost free of water ...we had a long walk up to the Osoyoos Golf Course then back to rest ..eat , drink and play cards. Yesterday we took a long walk to Haines Point Provincial Campsite (2nd time for Frank & me), saw a few mother ducks with many many babies...some had 9. Back to the motel to rest and drink and later to the "Sage" for patron appreciation night with baby ribs 2 for the price of 1 dinner. GREAT!! and after that there was kareoke night with lots of young people singing their hearts out. Quite a full day...got home and watched George Jones DVD and off to bed by 2330. This morning Ron & Sheila left about 0800 and now Frank & I are off on another long walk. Phew.....we might even get in shape....bye for now, Sharon & Frank

Osoyoos in the rain

Frank and I arrived on Sunday afternoon to glorius sunshine and very hot weather.........however...on Monday when we awoke it had been raining a bit and was mostly cloudy with sunny breaks. We enjoyed yesterday taking a 1 1/2 hour walk to Haines Point Provincial Park. Even in the first few days of June the park is almost full...only a few spots open for 1-4days...rates are good for a motorhome - $22 a night - however no electricity ....only a few water taps around....outhouses with flush toilets...but what a beautiful setting. Went to the Sage bar last night to watch The Ducks beat the Senators........Playoff night $5.99 for burger and beer...! Today we awoke to a flood....we now have a lake in fron and in back of motel. The parking lot is totally flooded and part of the beach has been washed away into the lake. Today we will take a walk into town even in the rain...we are trying to get more fit. This afternoon Sheila and Ron Read arrive, so bye for now, Sharon and Frank
