May 3rd to 5th - 100 Mile House

May 3rd - Thurs - 100 Mile
I took the time this morning to catch up and update our blog. Takes a while when I am behind a week. Marg & Terry went hunting gophers but only hit one.
In the afternoon, Terry helped friend Francis haul some building materials in a little trailer. Marg & I used the time to work in the garden - partly prompted by cousin Pat giving Marg some iris corms that she was getting rid of. We were building a rock garden to display a large barn-board bird house so first we had to collect the rocks. Terry was his usual “get things done” person when he got back so we actually got the bird house placement done. But we did not get any iris’ planted as we were interrupted by a neighbor who arrived to pick up some well aged “fertilizer” for his garden.
Dad toured part of the farm in the ATV this afternoon. He is not real happy with his legs - has numbness and thinks he does not have enough strength in them. We have to remind him that he spent a couple of months not getting around much and then 2 weeks in the hospital so he needs to be a little patient.

May 4th - Fri - 100 Mile
Took Dad to the health clinic to get the rest of his staples out and then did some grocery shopping. We were having Francis & Nicole and Allan & Cecile over for dinner. By the time we made lunch and prepped for dinner, we only had time to plant a few iris’ before our company arrived. We played a few rounds of LCR after dinner to finish a very nice evening.

May 5th - Sat - 100 Mile
Went touring “out West” today. Drove over mostly gravel back roads to the Fraser River. We stopped at a picnic/camp area where we lit a campfire and roasted wieners for lunch. We crossed the river and checked out the Gang Ranch (large cattle ranch) and then drove back via Hwy 97 from just north of Clinton.
