Rainbow life: Rain, rain, and more rain.

Yep, we had rain for two days solid. Well, just about solid. Thursday, we went shopping for bikes in Courtenay, we thought that the rain would never stop. Rain and wind. Then we get to the ferry and the wind and rain just kept coming. The ferry was bee boping up and down and we were a bit scared to get on. However, we were ok.
We did get a couple nice bikes at Walmart. While in Courtenay, we visited with Mel and Claudia.
They had us over for lunch with a cake and birthday cards. It was MJ's birthday and they bought me a card also, cuz I whined. lol Nice to see them.

Now, let's go back a bit. Over a month since my last blog

We went to visit with Lynn and Wayne in Campbell River and Wayne took us fishing in his boat after dinner. We both caught about 5 ling cods. They were too small to keep. Great couple hours.

We saw a couple orcas surfacing a couple weeks ago. Really neat. Too bad they were so far.

We have been busy making wind chimes for the farmers markets on Saturday. Still having fun with our crafts.

There was a campfire ban for about 10 days here, but needless to say, no ban now after that much rain.

Janice and Gerald had us over for dinner to celebrate MJ's birthday. Janice's mom and dad and a couple friends, Nick and Kathy were there. Great food and great company.

Went to Campbell River with Sheila. Her and her hubby are campers here and we have become friends. The objective of the trip was for MJ and Sheila to play bingo (boring) at the casino, and me go shopping on my bike. But we get there, and there is no bingo. We had dinner and I took off shopping and they played the slots for an hour.

Back to the present. There were fish jumping all day in front of us. Finally, this evening, a few orcas were surfacing. Still too far to take good pics, but still quite interesting to see. Seems that when fish are jumping, the whales follow. This had happened a couple weeks ago.
