more from Osoyoos

Yesterday was Mother's Day. I think Janice and I have been together on this day for the past 4 years.  We missed you here this year, Richard and Janice!

My cousin, Sharon (MacDonald) and Jamie Graham dropped by for visit after lunch. It was great to 'catch up' with them. They have a home on the lake and have been busy sandbagging with the rising waters. The water is right up to their front deck, but luckily, it doesn't appear that it will reach their home. The cooler weather is probably slowing down the mountain melt. I guess for many, the lack of hot weather is a good thing. Although the rain and the high winds aren't helping any.

Today was laundry day. It's what you do when the weather isn't so great. (Just about any day this week could have been laundry day.) We did not wash heavy blankets, sleeping bags or pets! The sign made us laugh.

We did sit out for a bit after lunch but then the wind came up. It looked like a snow storm with all the elm seeds flying about. You can't see them in the air in this photo, but the ground is covered.

Son, Doug is back in Osoyoos tomorrow and Wed. doing some electrical work at the Burrowing Owl winery.  He will be joining us for dinner tomorrow evening.  We will be heading to Kelowna on Wednesday, so will hopefully see the rest of the family then.
