January 2014 - Weir's Beach and a quick visit to Vancouver for me.

 

January 1st - New Year's Eve 2013 Weir's Beach Victoria

Just a short post to note that we actually stayed up past midnight to sing out Happy New Year with other people! They had  a little party with appetizers at the clubhouse at Weir's Beach. About 20 people attended and some played pool but most of us "oldies" just yakked awaiting the 12 o'clock call so we could all go home to bed ... the place was empty by 12:15 am! New Year's day was spent puttering around (me) and Ray watching the tube. Mild at 7 degrees C but rain started in the early afternoon. The weather is supposed to smarten up by the weekend. It sure beats the cold that Kristi and Jason are experiencing in Saskatoon at -35C!

Pretending that this is an Arizona Sunrise!

January 21st - Three week update


Not much has happened .... I'm at aquafit 3 days a week and Ray is slowly recovering. It is taking quite a bit longer for him to recover this time, probably because he had two fusions instead of one.

We met up with our old friend Jayne, daughter Sara (who was two the last time we saw her) and Zara's new baby Sa, for a lovely lunch at the My Chosen Cafe, a couple of km's for Weir's Beach.  Ray's first outing since his surgery. We had a lovely time catching up.




Ray got in touch with his step-brother and sister after 50 years.  It is quite exciting. We will be able to meet up with them next fall on the way south.


Lunch with Grandma and Garrett - 2014-01-28 10:59

Back from Vancouver after visiting the family. Ray's mom took Garrett and I up Burnaby Mountain to the Horizon Restaurant for lunch on Friday. What a beautiful day. Here is a picture of the view and Garrett with Grandma. Ray managed okay on his own but both him and Freya were happy to have me back home.
