We're gigged right up.

Surfside RV Resort, Parksville BC (2 stars)

Well, Lee thinks we must be posting lots of photos on the Zwaal website because last night he ran out of storage trying to bring the website up to current. What's the problem, he thinks, it's only about 5,700 images in about 2 GB of storage.

Ever onward, the site was being migrated to a newer server and the account has more storage, so posting of our Roads Less Gravelled adventures will continue in earnest.

Lez notes: Hallowe'en over and no big bowl of leftover handouts! There was no bowl of handouts - for the first time since the late '70's when we bought a house! Good for the waistline! At Surfside there were no trick or treaters - as this is really more of a retirement community. The adults still celebrate though, as they gathered yesterday evening for adult beverages and hotdogs at the main clubhouse firepit.

Meanwhile, I am now making more quilt blocks to finish the tree-skirt backing. In my happy space.

We took a break in our day and enjoyed an evening with mom and Ralph over a Saigon Garden takeout order. Lively conversation around the dinner table, and reminiscing over Worel trips as kids with mom and dad, comparing then and now as Lee and I talked about our travels thru Saskatchewan Waskesiu and our visit with longstanding Worel family friends, Bob and Leona Kelly.
