We haven't seen rain in a couple days, and right now it's a beautiful blue sky - but it sure was a shocker to wake up to 3 degrees! This cold snape came out of nowhere... it was 17 degrees on Sunday, and now we're expecting our first frost on Hallowe'en night.
We had an amazing wind storm last night. Gusts of over 100 km/hour blew trees into house and limbs and branches are all over the roads. Over 100,000 residences had no power last night (we were fine!) and cleanup crews have been BUSY today. A couple of houses in Kamloops even has their roofs blown off!
Last night we were supposed to have dinner with Caroles brother and his wife, but David was havng a really bad day and couldn't even get out of bed. He's back in the hospital today, getting a transfusion - hopefully that'll give him enough energy, because tomorrow he's supposed to be heading to Calgary for an assessment at their cancer clinic. Vancouver has already refused to offer any more treatment, so Calgary is pretty much his last shot at this point. We're all very much on pins and needles for the next couple of days, because everything is hinging on what Calgary says...
Please wish us luck!
