Old friends, new venue....

We went out to Port Moody today (never been there) and had lunch at the Boathouse on the water there then back to Chris and Marilyn's house for coffee to die for and dessert.  Marilyn and I went to school and university together and had seen each other a couple of times since...the last time 16 years ago....     we hadn't seen Chris for 40 years.

It was a wonderful reunion...it all just clicked into place and it seemed like it had been last week since we were socializing together!  Looking forward to seeing them out our way and all of us enjoying an ocean swim.   We both celebrated our 45th wedding anniversaries recently.  Chris and Marilyn got married a couple of months after us and the reception was at what is now the Stanley Park Fish House.

Marilyn and I both taught swimming and lifesaving and Marilyn bought a Honda 50 first and then I got the idea and bought one.  It was a great and cheap way for transportation while at university.  I think I have a photo of us both on our Hondas somewhere...will try to dig it up.
