Firstly I need to make mention of my dear dear Facebook friend Dean Pierce. I got word that he has passed away. He was a true light in my life. We met on a cruise in China and he became fast friends with Bill and I. Upon arriving home we continued to communicate frequently. He was such a wise comforting soul. I am going to miss him horribly.
My few days in Vancouver were awesome, as usual. I arrived at April's on Sunday afternoon and we hopped into my car and drove to an awesome pub in Britannia Beach, half way to Squamish, about an hour over the most beautiful highway in BC. Well one of them. The highway from Terrace to Prince Rupert is pretty incredible and so is the John Hart Highway. But neither of them have the ocean on one side of the road and mountains on the other. Oh! The highway through the rockies is also stellar. Oh jeez! Never mind.
At that pub on Sunday nights BradleyBe, as Aryn's Bradley calls himself, was djing. Myles, Aryn and Aryn's friend Liz were all there as well. We had a wonderful time! We headed home around eight through the magical golden hour outside. What a magnificent sight the sound is at that time of the day!!!
April worked everyday til five. Myles was with Bradley in Whistler having a 'stag'. So Leeloo and I had some time together. I don't think April sat down for more than two minutes when she was home. She is tying up last minute wedding things. I spent an hour or two making phone calls on her behalf...research for limos etc... Then on Wed. Arne picked me up and we drove out to Maple Ridge. We had a fantastic time together. We were headed to a private sawmill guy to get wood 'cookies' for the centre pieces on the tables. After taking a wrong turn or two we showed up right smack at 11 o'clock, the time he told us to be there. I texted him to let him know and he texted back, ' oh shoot! I couldn't make it til 12 today'. Well thanx a lot for letting us know buddy. So Aryn and I went back into town to an A&W for burgers. We had Leeloo so we couldn't go into a cafe.
We had unkind thoughts til we met him. Haha...good looking and super nice. oh...and apologetic. All was immediately forgiven.
His place was so interesting. Tons of wood. Live edge tables, shelving, cut wood, uncut wood along with all those awesome wood smells. We picked up what we needed and we were on our way.
I left the next morning for the ferry. It was a quick trip home it seemed. The dog was over the moon when I got in and now he will not leave me alone. Which would be great except he absolutely reeks! That yeast infection he has is playing havoc with his body and his odour. We have another vet appointment on Monday in Parksville. If they can't help us in under five hundred bucks a month he has to go back to the spca. It's not right keeping him in misery. Itchy misery.
Yesterday I spent an entire afternoon at the hairdressers, not my fave pastime I tell ya. But it was past due. I got a pretty hefty cut and a pretty tight curl. I look like Little Orphan Annie gone grey. Hopefully it will loosen up a bit before the wedding.
Today Monte and I went to a Mystic Fair. It was lovely. All the vendors were women who make amazing jewelry and things. There were a couple of men with awesome stuff made from stone and/or petrified wood. Beautiful!!
Thats it. Nothing too exciting. I am determined to once and for all get my room done. It is still a big mess, just different stuff. I just simply have nowhere to put it all. I really do have to figure something out. I still have to post a done room pic!!
