April 20th to 25th - On the move

April 20th - Fri - Jackson, WY
We went touring through Grand Teton National Park today. Not all the roads were open and clouds were hanging around the tops of the mountains so it was an abbreviated drive. We drove through snow coming to Jackson so our truck and 5th wheel were filthy. We cleaned them up a bit and then listened to the rain later!!

April 21st - Sat - to Idaho!
Took off this morning to head a little further south in Idaho. Spent some time in a casino just north of Pocatello and I talked to my sister on the phone. My Dad is in the hospital waiting for surgery to correct a blood circulation problem and is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. So we decided to drive to Canada!
We drove to the 10,000 Silver Dollar Bar in Montana - once Terry has a plan and a destination there is no stopping him!

April 22nd - Sun - to Spokane
We had to get rid of some alcohol to get across the border into Canada so we decided to leave it a Terry’s Mom’s place in Spokane. Also wanted to pick up our mail while we were there. So we visited with good friends Bill & Georgia and then spent the night with Terry’s Mom. Our “change oil” message came on in the truck while we were driving on Saturday so Terry looked after that today as well.

April 23rd - Mon - to Kamloops, BC
Took off early today, picked up our mail and drove to Kamloops. Found an RV park fairly close to the hospital. Cousin Pat & Rick joined us for a drink and then we stopped in to check on Dad. He was in good spirits since he finally is scheduled for surgery. Went to dinner with Pat & Rick.

April 24th - Tues - Kamloops
Visited with Dad this morning and passed the time by showing him pictures on our computer. Surgery was scheduled for 2:00 so we did a bit of grocery shopping and came back to the rig. My cousin Bill who works at the hospital called at 6:45 to say that the surgeon had called him to say everything went well. At 8:30 he called again to say that Dad was in ICU and we could go see him. He was wide awake and feeling great.

April 25th - Wed - Kamloops
Sister Marg came from 100 Mile House this morning to spend the day and night with us. Just when we went to see Dad he was being moved from ICU to the surgery ward. So we visited for a couple of hours and then left him to rest. We went grocery shopping as we had invited cousin Bill and his wife Carol for dinner. Marg & I left Terry cooking ribs and went back to see Dad again before we had dinner. When we go back, Bill & Carol were here so we spent a lovely evening eating and visiting.
We do not have internet access so we are going to try to find somewhere tomorrow where we can get connected and post this blog.
