Woke up to a very hot day today, wow, nearly 90 and I feel as if I am gasping in the warmth. For the first time it is very warm inside, even though we have tinted windows and overhanging awnings that give us quite a bit of shade.
Friends of ours from Oliver, B.C. are here, and they called yesterday to say that they are staying right across the road, at Caliente Springs Park, so we invited them to come today for a visit. They walked over though it was pretty hot, and we had a lovely visit together.
Katie and I had worked together at Pemberton Holmes many many years ago, and over the years we have visited them up in their new home of Oliver. They used to live in Brentwood Bay, outside Victoria. Her hubbie is Grant.
Before they arrived Lary dashed off to renew the license plate for our trailer here, it is weird but in California you need a plate with a tag or yearly decal on it, even though the trailer will never move, it's parked forever, but still has its wheels attached, some sort of technicality. The license plate is tucked into a window where it will be visible.
The renewal papers go to our home in Nanaimo, so our tenant mailed them to us here, the renewal is later in the year. He got the decal. Last year we spent 2 hours in the DMV in a wait line, even though we were seated, but this year we discovered that we could go to AAA, he was in and out there in about 10 minutes. What a difference. DMV is usually a nightmare down here, it makes our system at home seem like a dream.
