Whenever I get a chance to play outside
with Claire, we take it and we are both have lots of fun.
Luckily there are lots of parks we can enjoy.
Ice cream was high on our list of fun things to try.
We drove downtown to visit a friend and stopped in to enjoy a cone.
Staying for a couple days with Frosso.
Seeing her beautiful garden, visiting and catching up with old friends.
Spending the weekend with Claire,
Jeremy and Julie.
Baking cupcakes, reading, walking, taking lots of photos,
playing together, watching her at her karate class,
going out for dinner,
bath time, bedtime,
good morning snuggles.
It was a really special time.
Thankfully Frosso was at her Vancouver home this visit.
She travels between Halifax, Vancouver and Cyprus.
We went thrifting, visiting friends and
just catching up as old friends do.
Her garden is stunning, her hellebores are beautiful
as are seeing the flowers in her
Strathcona neighbourhood.
This afternoon I head over to spend the weekend
with Claire and her gang.
You can imagine how excited I am to see them.
I met Shirley at the
Granville Island Market in Vancouver
to celebrate her birthday which is on
Sunday.
We wondered where these last 30 years went?
Friendships like ours only get
better with time.
What a gorgeous drive down it was
as well a fabulous day here in Vancouver.
We all love to go see show homes,
especially Claire.
She happily takes off her shoes and checks out the kitchens,
bathrooms and bedrooms.
Her comments are quite funny at times.
We stopped for ice cream, went for a walk, sang a lot of songs, had a bath
&
played with her toys.
I read her several books and now it is time to
say goodbye again.
See you soon, my sweetheart!
Always something colourful to see.
Had lunch with my long time dear friend Shirley aboard her
live aboard boat.
Catching up, walking, going to the art gallery.
Here are a few of the photos I took.
The drive down was a bit tense.
For about 10 miles it was snowing and very dense fog
as only the
Coquihalla Highway can have.
I found a few worthy thrifted treasures,
shared lunch to my son,
then have a wonderful walk in Frosso's
neighbourhood.
Rain and more rain,
then fog and more fog.
thru the grasslands, into the city,
over the Port Mann Bridge.
Then the best part,
seeing Julie in her new class room
as well as going for a walk with Claire.
It is good to be here with
them.
