Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!!!!!

Monday we did go to the generator store and got the same old line “I’ve never had a problem with any of these that I’ve sold………..”  Why us…….the DeKuiper mechanical curse????>>>>>>>>>  It was a solenoid in the starter so while they fixed that we went to buy a new tire for the trailer to replace the one that got shredded on Sunday - $256 later………..  We met a lovely French Canadian man that was also at the tire store who had been in the Canadian Air Force during VietNam and therefore was required to speak only English while in service.. He explained to us that there is a lot of prejudice against French Canadians in the rest of the Canada provinces- something we didn’t realize…

Then shopping to a store that Suzanne had told me had sports gear – so I bought myself a jacket and ski pants (on sale and to replace the wimpy thin jacket I had to wear at races while handling dogs and to give me better pants than just the yoga pants with long underwear I have been wearing!!!) for an early Valentine’s present for me!!!

Tuesday we trained dogs and had 2 good runs – one of the 2 hurt dogs is still running “choppy” so we won’t be running him any more this year.  It’s sad because they all love to run so much!!!  The weather was a bit cool but a beautiful sunny winter day with the sun making sparkling rainbows on all of the ice-covered trees!

Today we may go to town – we think we blew the speaker that I had purchased at Walmart for $30 with a bad DVD we were playing – and now Randy can’t hear the tv or movies even though he is only 5 feet away………

We are invited tomorrow nite to Bellerive’s for dinner – Melanie said to celebrate Randy getting 4^th place in the last race!  Claude told us she had a very successful festival turnout – I suppose we will hear lots more tomorrow at dinner.

More later………….
