Breakfast at the Southside Diner

Interesting how the  mind works

When I typed the word 'werever' last night in my blog

I knew it did not look right

I typed in werever

I typed in were ever

then did spell check

Both words came up ok????

In the middle of the night it came to me

I forgot the 'h'

OMG

Last night we could hear a kerfuffle behind us

Might of guessed who or what it was

Bing heads for heights no matter where he is

When we first got up this morning

the sun was shining

then the clouds rolled in

A view from Jen's condo

I tried to do a photo shoot of Stella

however

she did not cooperate as

she kept squinting her eyes

 ha

Stella has 'Hemmingway cat feet'

She has an extra 'toe' on each of her front paws

Here's Nikki

the O'Rourke October Nanny

She is back at her job at the

Southside Diner in Whistler

Joe's breakfast looks pretty tasty

Take note of the coffee mug!

Here's Les.................Graham's friend

Les bought us breakfast this morning

He is one of the owners of the Diner

THANKS LES

By the way........Les you look pretty good

for having been on the

Cast and Blast

 the past few days

Check out the placemat

Lots of red!

We left the Diner and went in search of Ted and Marla's property which they recently purchased

We ended up at the end of a no exit  street

You should have seen the house behond these gates

Check out the 'spider' gate and playful statue of children

(Ted is Graham's childhood friend from when they were three year olds living in Corunna)

The land is being cleared

The construction of their new home will begin in the spring

Here we are in a tourist pose!!

You could fire a canon up the road at Whistler Village this morning

Wow

$10.00 a bunch for lavender

I could have  made some money this summer with

all the lavender plants I have at the cottage!!!

It looks like Christmas is just around the corner

Wreaths are going up

On our way back to Squamish we drove

 through Brackendale

to see if we could see some eagles

There was one bird

I WAS GIVEN A GIFT

The eagle flew out of the tree

soared  through the air

flew right in front of us before landing by the side of the river

As the camera lady I was so excited

I

clicked

 clicked

 clicked

I had the long lens on the camera

however

the setting was set at landscape

Should have had it on sport

and to make matters worse

the 'button' that holds the lens in place from manual to auto was off a bit

THUS

the photos were out of focus

There are a few photos that I could salvage 

Joe being Joe told me to

build a bridge and get over it

so

I did!!!!!!!!!!

HA-HA

All of a sudden lots of birds were flying around

The eagle found a fish which occupied his time

Each year between November and January eagles migrate to feed on salmon

Last season they had 950 eagles in the area

Late  this afternoon we headed back to Jen's condo

Joe read his book

I treated myself to a pedicure

and

Jen went to the gym

We'll be up before the birds tomorrow morning as we start on our next adventure

Hoping to be in Oregon tomorrow night

We've had a busy two days here in Squamish

We've had three dogs and three cats here in the condo plus three adults

The animals have done well

Each has found their little space

We'll be back here again in the spring
