My brother's daughter, Dominique is moving today.
Here we are giving a helping hand moving stuff from Mom and Dad's place.

And now from her appartment.

Here is the view she is giving up! This is the laurentides.

The moving crew, minus Michèle, who is taking the photo.

The new home, actualy the basement appartment!

The moving is done without any problems, I would even say, fast!
Back to the campground , it is bingo night!

Back to the motorhome, a little poorer!

Being Canada day weekend, lots of stuff going on at the beach.
Even a sand building competition.

We are waiting for Rolland and Suzie for the afternoon and evening.
We got a call later on from my brother and they will not be coming because the fire trucks were at theirs place.
Luckyly, the house did not burn down but lots of smoke damage.

Inside view.

The cause of the fire, a battery charger that did not stop charging when it should have done so.

We had a few boxes at his place. Nothing too bad!

Rolland and Suzie are taking all this pretty good.
Me with my brother Rolland!

Monday July 4, 2011

Very easy day with a +30 and lots of humidity.

Wednesday July 6, 2011

A very nice supper at my sister's place.
Her husband Robert.

A very nice evening with Robert and Estelle, always a pleasure to be with them!

Thursday, July 7, 2011

My two sisters, Estelle and Christianne, are with us for lunch and for the afternoon.

After looking at some photos, we went for a walk in the campground.

The small lake in the campground have some duck families...
Here they come for the bread we have for them. Cute.

Another very nice day with my sisters.

Rolland and Suzie came by for a visit before we leave for Berthierville. Humm, forgot to take some photos!
Here we are on the way to Berthierville.

Ah! The scenery in the summer, lots of orange signs.
And because on the new configuration on the exit for the 640 Est, I missed it ! Oh well!

Here we are at Patrice and Manon's place.
This is becoming a tradition, having the first few beer in the garage after we are set up!

They have purchase a pool table and we spent the evening playing with the kids.
No comments on the photos!

What an evening. We had a great time with the gang, Patrice, Manon, Rock, Catherine and Valérie.

A few days ago, we noticed a small water leak by the toilet. Clean water leak.
Today, I am taking the old toilet out to check where the leak is coming from. Two possibilities for leaks.
I phoned a RV dealer to verify if the parts are available. They informed me that the parts will cost over $200.
Off we go to the dealer to check things out. After much taught, I decided to buy a new toilet for cheaper then the parts to fix the old one.
Here is the new toilet followed by the installation.

Not very hard to install but the lack of space makes it tricky.
I managed to overcome all the problems in no time at all.

After working so hard, POOL time...

Manon keeping a close eye on us!

Catherine has set up the badminton net for us to play a few games...

Lots of fun but the bugs came out and the fun went out of it!

Another hot day. More pool time...
A great meal by the pool.

Monday, July, 2011

Patrice purchase a new bike and had to try it out.

While the girls (Michèle, Manon and Valérie) are gone shopping in Joliette, Jean-Guy, Patrice and Michele's father, dropped by for a visit.

Another hot and humid day. A great day.

Thursday, July 12, 2011

Not a heat wave but still hot and humid, oufff!
Catherine invited us for a bike ride so Patrice could use his new bike again!

Does it look like pool time again?

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

We have to make a quick trip to Belleville for a follow up appointment. Nothing bad, just routine.

Good weather, good road, Montréal was easy to cross even with all the road construction.

Friday, July 15, 2011

What a day!
We start with a shopping trip to Trois-Rivieres at Costco and other stores. Me, Michele and Manon leave Berthierville before lunch so we can do some serious shopping.
Well! First we got slowed down by a family of ducks crossing the road...

No problems getting to Trois-Rivieres. But Manon remembers that Valérie has a driving class at 1 pm. So she calls Patrice to make sure he can take her to class. Shortly after Patrice phones back to ask who has the driving permis for Valérie! Manon has it... Back to Berthierville (fast) so she can make it for her class. We made it just in time. We had a good laugh.

After we left the driver's licenses we head to the drug store and we notice some pretty black smoke... Off we go to check it out.
A car is burning!

To day turns out to be a not shopping day after all.
Back to the house we found Patrice working!
And Manon got into supervising quickly.

We got hot just watching Patrice working. Off to the pool we go!

Pretty easy evening. Manon and Michele went to watch Catherine play soccer.

A day full of surprise...

Take care until next time...
