Tuesday evening was the usual except for one thing. It began with dinner on the chaise watching a movie and ended with me waking up on the chaise at 1:23. I have no idea what time I fell asleep, and I have never in my life fallen asleep for so long while watching the TV. The TV was on, but muted, so no noise disturbed me as I slept.
Yesterday morning, I slept in until 6:00. I had a lot to do before I left. I wanted to ensure I had all I needed packed into the car for me and for Sheba, and I had a lot of watering to do in the backyard beds before we left the house to catch the ferry at 10:00 on another glorious morning. It had cooled down; the high for the day was predicted to be 17°. No more temperatures in the twenties.
Once the watering was done, it was time to take Sheba on her first walk of the day, and then we headed for the ferry as the clouds rolled in. I was happy to see the clouds and I hoped for rain. All went as planned with the ferry. Once on the big island, I fetched sushi at Thrifty’s Foods and then we went to Bowen Park where we both had lunch and a nice long walk. Wildflowers were blooming everywhere (see below)! Then, we were off to the hospital. Her Highness, I hope, slept in the car.
It was quick at the hospital. Once the tests were done, we were off to Walmart to shop for kitty litter, dog food, and a lot of plants. Then we left for Westwood Lake Park, a favourite place where we went for a long leisurely walk on a great trail around a beautiful lake. It’s just the most beautiful place to chill, but it would have been nicer in sunshine and with a little more heat. After that, we headed for Mahle House.
Kris, Steve and Nancy were already there when I arrived for my sixth time there to enjoy their tasting dinner menu. My friends had never been there, so I was very excited to introduce them to such a fabulous place and such delicious food. The restaurant is in a historical home, and they grow much of the food they serve. Fabulous! We all had an incredibly good time!
Then we raced to the ferry, only to wait an hour for it to load. I got home just before 22:00. I was exhausted. We all went directly to bed.
It’s still cloudy this morning. I lit a fire because I’m tired of being cold. Today is going to be a slow, slow, easy day. Yesterday exhausted me and my foot was killing me all day. I walked 15,000 steps yesterday. Today: Chaise time. But I have lots of plants to install in the garden.
