Chilliwack, British Columbia
Day 10 – Thursday
The Chapel
&
Harrison Hot Springs
We continue to hear from truckers who like the good visibility of this chapel.
The steel for the steps did not come in time for this weekend, so these will have to do for another week or two.
Cerwin and Dennis (Canadian Director) install the awning on the living quarter’s door.
Moving chairs from the old chapel to the new one.
Filling the shelves of the new chapel
Turning in old keys for new ones.
Florence and Chaplain Mike Foisy (left) brought Chaplain Bill and Gertude Thomas to the chapel after picking them up at the airport. Bill and Gertrude are from Edmonton, Alberta.

When we finished at the chapel, I went along with Dave and Cerwin to take a large table to Dave and Annie’s daughter’s barn for storage – for use when corn roasts are held at the chapel.
I photographed some of their pretty flowers while the men unloaded the table.
~~~
Toward evening Dave and Annie (our host and hostess) took us on a scenic drive to Harrison Hot Springs – about twenty-five miles northeast of here.
It has been cloudy, rainy, and cool since we arrived, but we got to see a few mountain tops during the drive.

Water from the springs is pumped into this beautiful outside pool.
Supper in a beautiful lakeside restaurant.
My delicious meal of prawns (shrimp) and mussels.
This place is well known for sandcastles. They have just begun building them this season. There is a cost to get beyond the fence.

After we got home, Cerwin and I modeled the Peterbilt hats that Dave gave us
I still have my black and blue beard!
It is getting lighter (yellowish green) on the outside.
Cerwin is looking as handsome as ever.
