Trey's Book

I found this cute little cloth Woodsy Wonders book on insects in Armstrong this summer when Myrna and I went putzing around. So here it is all put together. He loved it!!!

Hana's Ladybug Quilt

We went to Gibson's today and and enjoyed a delicious prawn lunch with Vickie and Pete in Halfmoon Bay. Vickie and I ended upstairs in her swing room where we pinned the small quilt that I'm making for Hana. Then we went down to Susanne and James where we visited with Jame and kids as Susanne was in Vancouver for a business meeting. Ron went off to the ferry and Suzanne arrived home about 9:30. Here's Hana with her Ladybug quilt.

More Old Friends

Maybe I should say, long term friends. Dave and Ron met in school in Kitimat, and met Thadene shortly after. They came for dinner tonight and we had a great visit.

Realty World Gals

A mini reunion today of 5 of us from the office in the early 80's at Kiki's. Karen brought her mom whom we knew then and enjoyed seeing again. I think my flash was off, so poor picture unfortunately and I didn't duck down enough to get Mildred in the picture very well.

45th Nurses Reunion

This has certainly been the years for reunions. Today about 36 of us from Saint Paul's Hospital Class of 1962 met at the River Rock Hotel/Casino in Richmond for a wonderful reunion. There is a very special relationship when young girls, coming from around the province, live and work together for 3 years. That is 3 shifts a day, 365 days of the year, in all kinds of situations. We were in the heart of downtown so we saw many things we'd never encountered before. Then there were some dreaded instructors and drugs and solutions which you needed 100% to pass, the first needle we gave, the first male patient we bathed, the first death. We grew very close as we grew into young professional nurses.
Wendy on the bottom left was my room mate in first year.

Pig Pool Tournament

We first played in Jan's tournament in 2005, when Mike and I won first place with this trophy. The name, as you can see was chosen because of the trophies. All have pigs or pig heads, this one with a stetson on it. Today we played Carol and John's as Jan is renovating. A great time was had by all as usual.

Vancouver Island Friends

We met Joan and Barry, from Parksville, down at Catalina Spa in CA in 2005. They were the ones responsible for introducing us to Prime rib roast done on the Ronco rotisserie. Got us hooked. They were here on the mainland visiting and came for lunch on the way to the ferry. So here are the smiling friends.
