We’ve been hoping and planning to build on to our house for my mom and Bill, and the buildings plans have now been submitted to the city and we are awaiting approval. We needed to tent the house before construction to get rid of termites and other pests. It was a big process of bagging all food, including what was in the fridge and freezer, and sealing it in the special bags provided for this. We had to board our pets at our local veterinary hospital and leave the premises for a few days.
Because of Covid-19, most hotels are closed to vacationers. Thankfully, our friends the Baimas have a beautiful home in the mountains, at Green Valley Lake, and we were able to stay there for 3 nights.
Ken, Brad and Lila did some fishing at the lake. It was so calm and peaceful!
We went on a hike. The Baima’s backyard is up against the national forest so there is a great view with hiking trails.
Ken was very proud of himself for climbing the rocks and reaching the top. He has lost a lot of weight and muscle tone due to cancer treatments, and he is winded and fatigued easily. So, this was a big accomplishment.
Brad led the way because he has been to the Baima’s cabin for other events like Peter’s birthday party and our church’s winter camp.
The Baimas allowed us to shoot their BB guns, a fist for the girls and I.
Since we are technically still in school (distance learning), we still had our work to do and our zooms to attend. We also watched movies and made s’mores at the fireplace every night.
It was a very nice getaway especially since we are at the 1 year mark of Ken’s leukemia diagnosis. It felt good to be somewhere else together, enjoying nature.
