RVT Publisher’s Life & Times: Firstly, I apologize to


everyone for the missing last line on page 30 in the last RV Times edition. So with egg on my face,


I now present to you what Dan said:


“I recently paid $4.03 a gallon in Blaine


for gas and the pumps locally are adver- tising $1.52 a liter to fi ll up our truck.” Secondly, a special Congratulations


goes out to Darlene Poitras of Langley BC for being the winner of the husband and wife dolls I had at my booth at the Snowbird RV Show in Septem- ber. T ere were 319 of you in the draw, so your odds were pretty good, but unfor- tunately there was only one winner. Had to keep that husband and wife together - right? I might have gone through three


marriages myself, but these dolls don’t follow my pattern for sure! In 2014, the Earlybird RV Show is


scheduled for February 20-23 so do come by my booth there and then and try again. I did up a bagpiper doll for the Sooke Fall Fair, and he won a fi rst place blue ribbon so I decided he will be the draw doll for that Show. T e rain that happened during the


Snowbird RV Show brought many new folks to see us. Many had never been to an RV Show before, so that was GREAT. Actually there was an increased atten- dance every single day! One gent ex- pressed appreciation for this magazine and when I said T ank You he stated that I did not realize what his appreci- ation really meant. He said he is a very critical person and he could not fi nd ONE thing to criticize in T e RV Times! I said I felt like I had just graduated! Something happened as a fi rst at that

Another student invited me to join her one weekend in attending the Western Speedway Races. She knew some of the racers and aſt er the races were over we joined them in the pits. T ere I met the O’Dells and the rest is part of my interesting past history! Audrey and Digger remained good friends with me over the years, even when they lived in Ucluelet, BC. My contact with Rick was much more sparse as we went in diff erent directions. October was extra busy this

but looks like it just might be the week starting with Jan. 19! I might drive down - if the weather in WA and OR is not too snowy! Will see. I didn’t realize Golden Village has units for folks with- out RVs! T is is very exciting for me. On page 11 in this edition, we have


a new advertiser, RV Golf Club. For all of you who use their services, will you give me feedback on how happy you are please? T ey sure seem like a nice couple. On October 5th I joined many, many


others at Audrey O’Dell’s home in La- dysmith, helping her celebrate her 80th birthday. Audrey and her late hubby Digger (Len), and late son Rick, were an active part of my life in the early 1970’s when I was a student at the Royal Jubilee School of Nursing in Victoria.

enjoyed a couple of Birthday celebra- tions for my son, and for three grand- children who turned 18, 16 and 8. My how time has fl own by. Weekend aſt er that, and aſt er I went


to press with this edition, I was off to Allen Texas for a three day event called A View from the Edge. More next edition. So even though I am still without an


RV, I am still travelling around. Might be via airplane and cars right now, but that’s still better than me sitting at home twiddling my thumbs - right? I joined two other Sooke Harbourside Lions gals in the Run for the Cure that happened at the Uni- versity of


Victoria on October 6th. We walked the fi ve km course but


still felt very proud of ourselves!


I want to L-R: Josie Masi,a tired me, Linda Mooney wish you all a VERY HAPPY


HOLIDAY SEASON this year. Make sure all your family gatherings are fun times!


Stay happy! Luv ya, Sheila
