Hi there,
It has been a while after giving a update on our moving and progressions but here I am again
We’re still having great (almost too hot to do something) weather.
Last Saturday Gerard me and the dogs were invited to go to a cabin of Martin and Glenda’s friends by Steve their son. It was great. It is next to Wizard Lake. We met some more people here. After having a BBQ we went on their boat for a ride in a tube and on the boat itself. As we hadn’t done that before at all we had a blast. The water is really warm. The dogs did have a wonderful evening and were playing with the kids of Kyle and his wife what also is the daughter of Martin and Glenda. The dogs behaved wonderfully and the kids just adore them.
Their youngest kid of 3 years old was actually walking Bo.(Bo is way bigger but he actually listened a bit to her..)
Steve brought a birthday cake with him for me. That was very touching and at the campfire all started to sing for me. It ready was fantastic to see all being so friendly and interested and well just great.

We are still looking for another rental home because the one we’re in now is temporarily. Hopefully we will find a nice place in the fields with a few acres to let the dog run freely did buy ourselves a Chevy venture in the first week and got all things ready to have it insured etc.
All the things that are easy in Holland cause you know where to go. Have to thank Sandra the woman who sold us the Chevy for helping us out with the insurance and the registry. All went very smooth. The only things that aren’t going like we want it to be is the land phone line from TELUS... They actually told us in one of the not all to friendly conversations that they were making stories up.
We are trying to get a landline for over 2 weeks now and for some reason it seems to be very hard and the guys from TELUS keep promising that all will be OK in 2 days... OK I know we have to be patient but they don’t care if you want to make a phone call to Holland or not..
The other thing that doesn’t really go like we want is. For Gerard getting his Canadian drivers license. He has to start all over from scratch again. All his experience doesn’t count here..So he got his theory exam already and next week he has to do his practical part I believe. I can say compared to the Dutch way of learning to drive a car truck or what so ever…it look like they give a license away with a pack of cookies ..But all takes time and all takes money. We just have to get through it and be patient.
I do hope we will have a few days without having to go anywhere because in those days I want to go into the mountains with the dogs and have some fun at a lake..
We met a few other people today at the Church. A few of them are truck drivers and told Gerard a bit about it. And a couple actually offered us a bit of work in the time we’re waiting for Gerard to get to work at Westcan . He can drive the tractor..and I could too if I want to..so we don’t have to be bored at all..
Well that’s about it for now..
Take care
Christel
