Saturday morning Steve decided to cross off another maintenance item off of his "to do" list...change the back rubber roller sleeves on the boat loader.
The front ones need to be done too but he needs help with that, so will be taking the truck in Wednesday morning to Loadit Industries, the company that built the loader.

The two roller sleeves he replaced...plus a casualty, the end collar was brittle and cracked from the sun and broke off...hopefully Glen has a new one in stock...
While he was busy outside, I cleaned up inside, had a shower and by the time I was ready to get on with the day, Steve was done so we walked into Fort Langley. We took our umbrellas along just to ensure it wouldn't rain on us! Crossing the bridge, Steve took a picture of the rowers...
We wandered inside one of the many antique shops...it's more like a museum...
We had noticed that they were filming inside here last week so we had to check it out,,,
The Trading Post Taphouse and Eatery just opened here in Fort Langley yesterday. So, of course, we had to go in and give it a try...
We sat at the bar and each tried a different beer. They have quite a selection, all brewed locally in Langley. We also had a look at their food menu...very limited and fairly expensive ($18 for a burger?!)...
We chatted with a local fellow sitting at the bar, enjoyed our beer and then continued on our walk...next stop, Marina's Gelato. Nothing like an outing that includes beer and gelato!
Some folks in canoes this time, as we cross the bridge over the Fraser River...
Back home, we just chilled for the rest of the afternoon. The hay rides for the kids have started today and tomorrow they have an Elvis impersonator coming...even has a pink Cadillac...
At about 5:30, we walked back over the bridge to The Fort Pub...for a pre-anniversary dinner at our favourite spot...
We enjoyed a couple pints of beer...a little more reasonably priced than our beer earlier today...a 12 oz glass at the Taphouse was $5.75 vs a 20 oz pint at The Fort Pub, $6.00. We had dinner...and then wandered back home. A lovely couple of hours "out on the town"!
Sunday, May 22 1982 was a beautiful (although a tad windy) day 34 years ago . It was also the day that Steve and I got married. As you can see from the picture, we haven't changed a bit LOL! Looking forward to many more years together as we continue in this wonderful lifestyle!
We started our day off relaxing with our coffee...nothing new there! After a light breakfast, we got ourselves ready for the day.
At 11:00 Deb and Ray arrived to pick us up...and we headed off to Empire Garden Chinese Restaurant for lunch. Our first time having Dim Sum...the food was amazing...
And the company was too!
After a delicious lunch...we'll definitely have to return sometime...we went back to our place and continued our visit for a little longer. Great seeing you both again...safe travels as you head into the interior of BC next week!
Shortly before 2:30, we jumped in the truck and were off into Coquitlam...a final visit with Chris and Angela before we leave next Friday. A very good friend (and Steve's "cousin-in-law"), Glenna lives fairly close, so she also popped by for a short visit and to see Chris and Angela's new home. Great seeing you Glenna...let's try for a "girl's weekend" next September when we return to Fort Langley! We really wanted to get a gathering of Steve's cousins together this visit to the area, but we just ran out of time with so much going on! We'll definitely put it on the top of our priority list come September!
We enjoyed a delicious dinner...Angela's mom, Lucy, also joined us. Her dad, Luigi, is away for the weekend. Nice seeing you Lucy!
It was after 7:30 when we gave them all big hugs and headed home. Thanks so much, Chris and Angela! Great seeing you both!
