I am sitting in the coziest room I think I have ever stayed in! What a wonderful way to end a long but meaningful day.
First off, Monte left his one good shirt at home. And he is pretty large right now, thus limited in what and where he can buy anything. (sorry Monte but you are pretty honest about this) Off we went to Moore's at Park and Tilford. Whilst he went in long enough to be told to just turn around and leave, nothing there in his size, I popped in to Fat Lady Store next door. I forgot my funeral outfit shoes! And they sell shoes. But none suitable for me.
Off we went to Mark's Workwear World Warehouse or what ever the hell it is. And they had ONE shirt in his size in there. Not my fave colour but at least he has a decent shirt to wear.
We then headed to the Rusty Gull to meet with Claire and his lovely wife Tish for lunch. April, Monte and Aryn came along and honestly it was truly a touching wonderful time. Claire was Bill's closest, dearest and longest friend I think he has ever had. It meant more than words can describe for us to see him, and I was so happy he brought Tish. I had not seen her in a very long time. Such true dear friends and we are going to have lunch again next Thursday! Bill would be so happy. And Claire….I will let you buy lunch next week!!!
We headed straight up to Kamloops. Monte drove, such a good driver he is. I am having to learn how to relax and just let him drive. I have spent so many years driving with Spod, who seemed hell bent on killing us. We stopped in Merritt and I bought some awesome ankle boots to wear. I am going to tell everyone I got them in London. They will never know they were forty bucks at Walmart.
I stopped at the Fat Lady store here in Kamloops and picked up some nifty stuff…way better funeral outfit than I had picked out before. I like the store up here better than either North Van or Victoria. Then on to Kathy's. New baby Ainsley was here for a while. So cute!!! Now to sleep. Gotta get up early and meet a funeral director tomorrow morning. So I am going to hunker down in this soft warm enveloping old bed in this cozy cute room. I love it. The window is open so the room is cool and I can hear wind in the trees. (actually I think it might be highway traffic but it sounds like wind..so I shall pick that.) Nitynite all TTYL
I bet you will all look sensational and the proceedings will be all Bill would hope for and more.
