Oh Canada, Oh Canada

First of all, Carol and I arrived in Vancouver after a rather uneventful trip.  We first had breakfast with Pat, who was on her way to visit hubby in the hospital, played a few games of Keno (I paid $5 and got back $2, that is my luck), bid farewell to our dear friend (she was supposed to be going with us) and headed north.  Arriving at Connie and Gary's we were treated to cold drinks and sitting in their backyard is quite a treat.  Everything is lush green and lovely flowers, all in bloom at the present moment, and lovely little birds in the birdbath.  The picture now is of three of the fearsome foursome and the other member is Connie, the tallest.  This is the only way this year that we could have pictures of us!!

Yesterday we made a driving trip to Harrison Hot Springs.  Quite a lovely drive with lots of farms with corn and blueberry fields.  The mountains were spectacular, finally appearing after the morning low clouds.  Harrison Lake is quite and large and very lovely nestled in the mountains.  It is famous for the hot springs and the majestic old hotel.  A very enjoyable drive to a beautiful destination.

In the evening we were treated to a huge salmon which Gary cooked on a cedar plank.  Wow, what a treat.
