BACK AND FORTH

The Empress Hotel

There were several tables in the hallway

My parents had a table just like this one

It was in the living room in front of the sofa

The entrance to the hotel

This kilt caught me by surprise

Only kilts I have seen on men were plaid!

Darth Vader playing his violin on a street corner

The children seem more interested in checking out the coins in the violin case!

Time to go back to the mainland

The light house

We were wondering if this is a name?????

Burrard Inlet

The high green rooftop is the Hotel Vancouver

(Another Fairmont Hotel)

Two tugs doing their job

Whoa....this guy is moving!!

We're coming in for a landing

Phew....we made it

The Lions Gate Bridge

Not flying over

Driving over

We are on the Sea to Sky highway

making our way to Squamish

Text from Jennifer

She was four cars back when it was announced the ferry from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay was full

GRRRRRRRRRR

HA......

There is a dog in the back of the truck

You can barely see the top of his head

Passing Furry Creek

Lots of Heather growing here

This morning we drove to Whistler to have breakfast at the South Side Cafe

We met Nikki......Ethan and Garen's

'October' Nanny

It was great to see her again

Nikki was at the O'Rourke home when we were there last fall

Nikki took care of the children

Granny was in charge of the kitchen

Papa worked in the vineyard

while Graham and Lyndsay worked at their jobs

Harvest time

While we were away for the two days Stella and Bing 'worked it out'

They are now friends even though they were in the chair for only a moment!

The animals found their own little spot for an afternoon nap

Jen and Alice getting ready for a bike ride!

Gwendolyn slept the day away

She did not want anything to eat

Late this afternoon we went over to the grocery store and bought Gwennie a steak

Jennifer is hand feeding Gwennie

Looks like Alice would like some too!!!!

The carpenter is doing his thing

This is actually a frame for an extra bed when company comes

Joe is building the bed into Jen's utility room

Part of the bed will be 'hooked' up on the wall

The other part of the bed will be a desk

There will be shelves over the bed area

Will update the progress tomorrow

An evening update on Gwennie

She decided she was hungry

HURRAH

She went over to her bowl and stood there

She ate two bowls of food

OH HAPPY DAY

Now she is wanting her treat in her purple 'thing'

For the moment it is like she is back to her ol' self

Today it was warm and sunny

The forcast for the week

Rain every day

We'll see!!!
