Chris and l have just come back from a few days in Vancouver after delivering a teddy bear to Sarah and Bryan’s new baby boy Paxton. Lovely to see all our Vancouver friends again and to eat delicious meals at the Cottons, Grace’s house and Bill and Bonnie’s house; not forgetting the Japanese meals we had at a couple of eateries. Caught up with the people at Spirit Wrestler, a First Nations and Inuit Gallery, visited a Cezanne exhibition and went to the Bill Reid Gallery where l bought a birthday present for Chris. But above all this trip was about people and catching up with their lives after a two year gap.
We stayed at Grace’s house which is just across the way from the Fraser river, the Captain’s Cove Marina and a small woodlet of Cottonwood trees. Very peaceful area; just love the water, the boats and the views of distant mountains. But it is a long way from home!
