DOWNTOWN PENTICTON

I have been carrying my camera around

downtown Pentiction

This is Bugzy

The name was spelled

to me

specifically with a Z

'She' belongs to the gal

who gave me a manicure

We talked and laughed  about how much we love our

Beetles

Another mural

While driving around Penticton and area we come across bikers everywhere

I was introduced to a wonderful

card store by our daughter Jennifer

I have been back to the store a few

times while here in Penticton

Last time I walked into the store

I heard a woman laughing while looking at

a card

She then showed the card to me

 We both had a chuckle

(I will have to go back to the card store tomorrow and buy the card

I will take a photo of it

so

you can have a chuckle as well)

Stay tuned for tomorrow

night's blog

Here we have

Charlotte

and

Gypsey Rose-A-Lea

The two dogs come to the store

with the owner

every day

Each time I have been to the card store I have noticed an older

woman sitting at a table

at the back of the store

When I took the photos of

the dogs I could see where

she was working on a puzzle!

How neat is that

Milo is dropped off at the store in the morning

and picked up after work

What a nice way to spend the day

Charlotte waits at the door for Milo to arrive

Saturday morning Joe and I treated ourselves

to breakfast at the

ELITE RESTAURANT

The restaurant was built 85 years ago

It was renovated in 1964

This is a poster that was inside

the restaurant

They're going to have a party!!!!!

S S Sicamous

Launched in 1914

It operated as a passenger and cargo vessel

on Okanagan Lake from Penticton

to Okanagan Landing (Vernon)

S S Naramata

The only remaining steam tugboat

in the interior of British Columbia

She moved from Okanagan Landing

to this site in October of 1991

S S Okanagan

Stern Saloon

Built in 1907 for British Columbia CPR

I could see stained glass windows inside

It must have been pretty spiffy

This mural tells the story of

days gone by

Joe spotted the bike riders

So

We took chase!!!!!

Down the street

Around the curve

Under the bridge

And away they go

Penticton is the home of the

IRON MAN

which is held annualy each year

Check out the trash can

There's a photo of what the city

looked like in the fifties or sixties

I was impressed

THE BOOK SHOP

New, Used and Out of Print Books

Another of my favourite

places to visit

when in Penticton

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET.....

Clementine

and

Egor

Clementine is getting a treat

BUT

First she has to talk

YUP

She talks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET READY

She's working her way to say

I WANT

I..W...A...N...T

When I was in the store a few weeks ago

Clementine spoke in a normal tone

Today

She yelled

Yes she did

Did I laugh

You bet I laughed

I laughed and laughed

When I left the store

I had the biggest smile on my face

Oh boy, that was so much fun..............

THANKS CLEMENTINE
