Old friends, great times...

Linda, Donna, and I just had a blast meeting each other again...lots of laughs and old memories. It was fun to see the men again too but they didn't get many words in edgewise!

What a superb weekend for weather and we really enjoyed dining outside, shopping at Granville Island, and got a couple of lovely warm swims in the evening at Kits. Also saw the new Leonard Cohen documentary called "I'm Your Man"...absolutely wonderful. You are blown away by the performances as they are done with such emotion and love for the songs.

The current Vancouver Art Gallery show of Haida art is amazing. I was particularly impressed with some of the old stuff. Also, the Arthur Erikson and the prefab exhibits are worth a look while there as well.

And on a more amateur note, we headed over to the Kitsilano Showboat and watched a few acts for old times sake.


Me, Donna, Linda in 1963 at a Job's Daughter's Picnic.


Linda, me, and Donna at Spanish Banks on the weekend.


It's so beautiful walking along the seawall by Richard's apartment.


Now if we could just transport Granville Island to Victoria...


We saw this fellow at Kits and Granville Island...gave quite a show.


We tried both the dry saucage with whisky and with pastis...excellent. Actually, much tastier than in France. I think they must use better ingredients.
