This is our fifth day in Coldstream. We spent some time getting organized in the house and shopping, mostly for groceries and assorted supplies.

We picked up a couple take-out dinners this week as we were getting prepared for the winter's stay.

_D7A2128 I skied two days this week, both of which were overcast and cloudy. But since today was sunny, we decided to go for a drive to Salmon Arm, which is 60 kms north from here. It is situated on an arm of Shuswap Lake, along the Trans-Canada Highway.

We picked up Bob and away we went. After all, it's been five days since we made a road trip.

Our destination was The Shuswap Pie Company.

_D7A2144 Why drive all this way to this shop? 

Well, their pies are amazing. So is their lunch menu.

_D7A2142 We each had the chicken pot pie. And Veda and I had pie for dessert - pecan for me and raspberry rhubarb for Veda. So you thought that Bob could resist. Ha! Ha! He had a fork, so he "stole" some of Veda's pie.

We purchased frozen pies to bring home and to cook at a later date. We bought two savoury pies and two sweet pies. Bob also bought some to take home. This was our objective. Mission accomplished.
