A walk and dinner with our besties, Steve and Dianne

Yesterday, April 24th was such a beautiful day, we decided to invite Steve and Dianne over for a walk and some dinner. They do not get a chance to see a lot of the local parks as their truck is so big. Also, their current campsite at Peace Arrch does not get any sunshine and we have a lovely patio in the sun with a great view of the backyard.

We had been to Redwood Park last year and walked to the "Fairy Village" and thought they might like to get out to see it. As I was cooking .... their answer almost always is yes, unless otherwise committed. lol

They arrived at 3pm and off we went to Redwood Park, about a 5 minute drive away with Freya loaded up in the back of the car.









A lot of people have put in lots of effort with their ferry houses. As Ray followed Steve and Dianne, I followed behind straighening any houses that had fallen over, hence no pics of me. lol

After a lovely walk, although short, it was time to come back and enjoy the sunshine on the patio with a few beverages. We openned a bottle of champagne to celebrate getting our house on Cowichan Lake.



Cheers!
After a couple of hours it was time to eat dinner, honey garlic chicken wings in the Instant Pot and Chinese Fried Rice and Maple Walnut Ice cream for dessert. Yummm.

Wednesday we just kind of hung around enjoying the back yard and the beautiful sunshine. Thursday we had another showing scheduled at 5 pm ... oh dear I guess I cannot cook dinner as it will make a mess. lol Dianne and Steve were supposed to come over for dinner but I had to reschedule them for tomorrow instead. So after cleaning the house at 4 pm and washing floors, Ray and I packed up Freya in the car and moved up the street and parked in the shade for about 45 minutes while the people viewed the house. Once back, we fed Freya and then drove to one of the new restaurants in Grandview Corners, a short distance from Dad's house. The Woo Korean BBQ was excellent. You can cook your own meat.

Another great day.

  2. Definitely want to check out Redwood Park next time we're close, looks like a great place for a walk. Really good to see the young kids petting Freya, shepherds get a bad rap sometimes in public places. It's usually a bad dog owner not the dog that is responsible. Good times, good people and cheers to the new house in Cowichan. Beautiful area and will no doubt be fantastic.
