May 15th to 17th - 100 Mile House

May 15th - Tues - 100 Mile
Another trip to town to check the mail - nothing for us. Dolly got a bath and a haircut today - easier to do here in a larger sink. Then I gave Dad a haircut. Terry & Marg fixed a fence section that would allow a coyote to crawl underneath. We had hoped that Terry could see and shot the coyote(s) that has been killing Marg’s lambs but we haven’t seen any since a couple of days after we got here.
Neighbor Joseph joined us for dinner today. He lives in Germany and is here for short visits several times a year.

May 16th - Wed - 100 Mile
Miscellaneous chores today - moved leftover small hay bales to a different barn, fenced off two round hay bales so the sheep won’t eat them over the summer, picked up a couple loads of sticks and swapped forks on the tractor for a bucket. After lunch, time for some gardening before Marg and I went to play golf. We play at a 9 hole par 32 course with wicked slopes but shorter yardage. I shot a 44 so was pleased with that.

May 17th - Thurs - 100 Mile
The power company marked trees last fall that were dead and could fall on power lines so they could be removed before they caused problems. Yesterday a crew came in and cut down the trees on Marg’s property. The property owners are responsible for the trees and limbs once they are down so this morning we cleaned up one tree that was in Marg’s garden area. We hauled the branches to the burn pile, added a couple of bags of burnable garbage and 3 bags of junk sheep fleece and lit the pile.
Marg, Terry and I went to town and our forwarded mail was finally there. So - north to Alaska!!!! - tomorrow.
This afternoon we took a drive to Canim Lake and Mahood Lake. We walked into 2 very pretty waterfalls and then cooked hamburgers over a fire at a campground at Mahood Lake. I wanted to post to our blog before we leave tomorrow so this is it.
