Greek Dinner

We had a lovely time at Claude and Noreen's with a delicious Greek dinner.

Their new patio is finished and beautiful.

The PNE

We went to the PNE and loved it. Our famous runners were out front.

I saw the Clydesdales being groomed in the barns.

We had to bring home mini donuts.

I don't think there are any old time loggers left in BC. The show is more girls dancing with the occasional logging feat thrown in.
Ron spun the wheel at Global TV and won a foam microphone.

Lasagne on our Strreet

We needed to have some lasagne so we did.

Irish Music in the Park

We met Chuck and Barb at Peace Arch Park where Blaine has provide concerts each Sunday in August.

Today was Celtic, the music and dancers.

The dancers moved so fast,  I couldn't really get a good picture.

Lots of fun in the salt air. 

We enjoyed snacks and the rose garden in the Park.

A Mexican Dinner

Our neighbours spend their winters in Mexico so treated us to a lovely authentic dinner.
The RV crowd sure has good cooks.

Christine and Struan's Wedding

We had the most wonderful day with everyone.

Christine's choice of a wedding in nature was the best.
Wonderful to be together. 

Congratulations and love to all.

.So excited to see our other nieces.

Our Niece's Wedding at Whistler

We arrived at 1 pm but check in isn't until 4 these days so we joined Wallachs poolside and had a nice visit.

Our 2 bedroom suite overlooked a chair lift with riders and hikers including a dog  on the mountain in Creekside.

Peter and Brenda joined us for dinner at Dusty's and both families and friends gathered for the evening. We were delighted to meet Struans family.

And many friends and relies.

Saturday we went to Whistler and saw the  Olympic venue.

They have truly made this into a world class year round area. There was a dirt bike track for the kids.

Show Brazil in Peace Arch Park

I met Chuck and Barb, and Doreen arrived as well, for an afternoon concert in the fresh air by the sea.
They are from Brazil and great entertainers. The dancer was very good and showed many different styles.

Celebrating 4 Birthdays

We had a lovely dinner at Del Rios in Ocean Park for 4 of our neighbours with August birthdays.

 We had about 16 on the outdoor patio on a lovey evening.

Seeing Gail and Chen

We went to see the Children's Hospital Lottery Home in High Point.

Quite pleasant but with the usual flaws, no lazy Susans in the bottom corner cupboards, no jetted tub in the master bedroom, pretty waterfall but no hot tub in the back yard. Why don't they ask me for my help?

 And of course, golf (cards) is the daily game of choice.

 We had a lovely lunch and time together with Gail and Chen, neighbors from Lake Else.
 

Thadene and Dave

We went into Vancouver and had a great visit with Dave and Thadene at Cafe Roma on Commercial Drive.

Seeing tah Gisela hasn't been here for 7 years, we walked through Dr. Sun Yet Soo Chinese Gardens and she found a lovely bracelet in the store.

 We went home over the Port Mann Bridge, a first for all of us.

Gisela is Here

We picked up Ron's sister Gisela flying with Hawk Air, in from Kitimat for a week.
We picked up a few groceries on the way and stopped at Wolf's Deli where Gisela had a fun visit with the owner who was from Frankfort. It is a beautiful store with German music always playing and memorabilia with 2 foot beer steins.

 We enjoyed a salmon dinner at Bob at Gail's with lots of the neighbours.

Always great company and food and constant l;aughter.
