Missed yesterday as we were still at Langley. We. Did 2 days of competitive lawn bowling in the BC Senior Games. We won the silver after tying in points for the gold, but again the differential was against us and ended up in second. Still pretty good we think. We got home about 2 pm yesterday.
On arriving at Langley on Wednesday at the Travelodge where we made reservations in June ( confirmed, number and all) to find they had rented our rooms to someone else and nothing else was available. Did get a single room for the four of us at the BestWestern. Rooms were almost non
existant due to the influx of 3800 senior athletes.we made it work and had a good time.

Didn't get this off this morning as we had to rush off to Costco.

So here is more story now at 8:06 pm.

  We walked along for a short distance then went up some stairs and into a house.  This was where the lady lived and evidently where I was going to live also.  We stayed there for several days; I must admit those first few nights were no picnic, during the day when I could explore and visit and learn to drink from a saucer it was fine, but at night I was all alone, no nice soft bodies to curl up with, nothing to suck on, I’m not sure now but I may have cried – but just a little.  The first night, I hadn’t settled down yet, the lady brought a roundish object wrapped up in a towel and put it in my new bed.  It made a ticking noise and for some reason it helped me go to sleep.  I woke up several times through the night and each time snuggled close to the object and each time I quickly dropped off again.

  One day the lady scooped me up and holding me to her face said, “Well young man, today we are off for a little trip and you will soon meet your new master.”

  Well I didn’t know what a master was, didn’t even know what a trip was so I just licked her nose like that first day and copying her face pulled off a pretty passable smile.

  “You little devil, I almost think you understood me!” She exclaimed.

  Well of course I understood her, but try as hard as I could, I couldn’t properly respond, so I just wagged what was left of my tail and licked her once more.

  A little while later she put a suitcase by the front door and stuffed me into a wooden box like thing, it was better than the cardboard box she had used a few days before as I could easily see between the slats of wood. A few of the cookie things I had started to enjoy were dropped in beside me and shortly I was being loaded into a car.  This was a much better ride than that first one on the streetcar and in spite of being curious I soon dozed off.
