FAB WEEKEND AND BIRTHDAY!!

What a wonderful time we had this weekend.  April and Myles arrived up here late Friday night. Apparently the week before, Kathy and Kerry were in Vancouver and had dinner with April and Myles.  April mentioned that they wanted to get a good dining room table and chairs.

Well, as it happened, Kathy became aware of a lovely table and chairs being sold by a lady in her exercise class.  She sent pics and they were beautiful.  Not only that but they were seven thousand dollars when new.    And she was selling the table and eight chairs for a really good price.

So, on Saturday we headed up to the loveliest cabin you ever saw at Sun Peaks where the table was.  It was a beautiful drive.  And the table and chairs were stunning.  But the kids really wanted a table that would start small and expand out to bigger.

So I had the brilliant idea that they could have mine....from Bamfield that goes from a two seater to a table that sits 21.  And I would take the lovely one from up there.  It seats 8 which is the max my little dining room can sit.  It makes no sense for me to have  the Bamfield table, I will never be able to use all the leaves in the buffet that goes with it and this would keep it in the family.  I will be arranging for movers to go pick it up next week.  I will put some pics of it on here.

Saturday afternoon we went to Kathy's for appies...delicious appies I might add.  Then we headed down to the ghost train...my awesome birthday present from Kathy and Kerry.  It was sooo much fun.  All kinds of people were running around all dressed up and scaring the heck out of the customers.  The train crossed the river and went to the end of the reserve and back.  There were surprises along the way and everybody had a hoot.  We went back to Kathy's after for birthday cake, yummy Lazy Daisy cake.  That was our Mom's go to cake so it was a little bit like having her there with us.  What a fantastic day it was!

Yesterday K&K came up for coffee and we ended up heading down to their place to go for a walk.  They live right on a massive big ravine full of trails.  And it was a truly lovely walk...not hot, not cold, just right.  Back to Kathy's for snacks and a little SNL...so funny!  The kids packed up and hit the road for Vancouver by six.  Its always so quiet when they leave.

Now it is Monday morning and I have a few problems to solve.  One of them is my hair.  I really need to figure out why its falling out.  Its so thin now I can't do it.  I think I will go talk to a hairdresser and to the doctor if necessary.  Sigh!  I hate appointments!

So here are a few pics.  TTYL
