03-12-21 Kootenay Lake!
What an incredible day to have to head up around Kootenay Lake for work. I do Mystery Shopper gigs and was recruited to do 2 places in Creston, and 1 each in Kaslo, Nakusp, Trail and Salmo. Today I manage to do one in Creston and the one in Kaslo. I found the fruit trees in Creston interesting this time of year as they seem to be shaped for picking.As it happens my car is too economical and I didn’t have room to put the amount of gas required in. the weather was lovely and the tunes were great. I stopped for a quick picture and came to realize I was stuck following a semi with a load of building supplies. It is a lovely windy road along the lake but not so great when you can’t pass. I made it to Crawford Bay at 2:15 to find the ferry had left at 2 and the next as not until 3:40. It was beautiful though and I went and sat by the water for a while. If it weren’t for the fatc there was no smell of salt air I would think I was looking at the ocean. I took the time call the optometrist and let them know my glasses did not come with tinting as they were supposed to . They are ordering a new pair. I am curious what they will do with my current ones.
It really did feel like old times from my vantage point. I made it up to Kaslo and did the shop there before heading to my friend’s home where he’d prepped for a feast of home made pizza. It was so great to have good food, good laughs, a great evening of games and most of all hugs, endless hugs, just what a body needed. The pie was a hit, phew!
I did enjoy the ice cubes!!
All in all it was a lovely day and I was thrilled to have time to listen to my tunes, a massive collection of randomness.
I think my wee suitcase may be happy to be on a journey finally as well
