So Ricky is off of night shift now. He was back to days for like a month or so but now he has been put on standby with Diamond B. He has been working on his new boat that we got on the 13th of this month. The boat is a 1990 Olympic with a 1989 88 special Evinrude outboard motor on it. When we got it the motor was having some problems... but my husband is very talented and somewhat of a mechanic so he has fixed our boat motor and added a few accessories to the boat itself.
Andrew is now out of school and enjoying his summer. He really enjoys to ride his bike and play outside when it is nice out.
I have been up to my normal stuff. I have been reading a bit more again and I really enjoy it. I get to spend some time with my hubby. Oh yeah and in the last month or so I had been going between home and a hospital in Seattle. That is a long story and I will write another post about that at a later date.
In the last couple of days or even weeks, we have been preparing for our yearly fishing trip to Bonaparte Lake in Canada. It takes about 7 hours to get there in the motor home. We are taking our new boat and can I tell you how excited Rick is about taking his new boat out. It is like WOW at how much he likes his boat. I have been trying to plan out meals for this trip and not pack too much food. Well as it goes I always pack too much food. As I have been doing this I have decided to marinate my meat portion of the meal and freeze it so that it cuts down on the prep time and let me enjoy my vacation a lot better.
The dinners that we are having on our trip:
Asian Flank Steak - oh so good that I am going to do this 2 nights.
Hamburgers
Hot dogs/Italian Sausage
Lasagna - tradition for the first night
Herb and garlic Chicken
Pork chops
Steak
Foil Dinner
Fish - the one meal that Rick does because he likes his fish a certain way.
All of these should be really good dinners that I can do on the BBQ or in a fire and don't have to heat anything up in the motor home. We now have a camp stove and a BBQ so I can do a complete dinner out side and this I am so excited about. We have our large propane tank that has a post attachment that has 2 ports for hoses so you can have your camp stove and BBQ going at the same time and on the top of the post you can put your lantern. I am so excited about the set up and being able to see what I am cooking when I am cooking at night.
Any ways that is what we have been up to and what we are going to be doing for the next little while. When we get back I will try to put up some pictures of our set up, our boat and our trip, Oh yeah and hopefully some Fish.
