Long Week-end in Victoria


Mads and Kaleigh having fun jumping on the clam holes. The water would squirt up out of the hole.

Kaleigh with her new "K" necklace for her birthday...that is coming up.

Seahells by the seashore and soon to be by the lakeshore...

The three muskateerettes out at the Cactus Club for a fine mother daughter night...maybe the first one in the history of us since entering adulthood... and those MArtooni's were yummy...with names like MAndarini...Yum...that was mine.

Yes, I know my eyes were closed... a slight photo problem I personally have. The picture is to illustrate the devine dinner.. King Pao Chicken... all in Coconut milk...super Yum!







Sonia with little Spikey on a walk on the new pathways at Gorge Park



The Rhotos were in in excuisite full bloom . Luckily I have come home to my own that are just opening.



Sonia nd her best little doggie woggie pal. Isn't he adorable? He loved Silky so much that he nibbled on her ears, then her feet,and then he couldn't get enough of her,so he chased her and tried to jump on top of her. She growled in delight!!!






Maddie making a "Stickable" I made a few myself. You let them dry, then peel them off the backing and stick them in a window, where the light shines thru them.. Stained glass made simple!



Sonia and Annette at the beach at Esquimalt Lagoon.



Now that I have had so much fun playing with the idea of uploading a photo to my header, that I am ready for bed. I'll upload at least one batch of pics from my long week-end in Victoria... It was divine to get away and the best to see "My girls". We had a mother-daughter night out at the Cactus Club, with food to die for...and fab martooni's to go along with the dinner... Monday afternoon was so beautiful that we spent hours at Esquimalt Lagoon, soaking up the rays and plucking seashells for our very own beach...once the water recedes...It gives me great pleasure to watch as innocent walkers stoop down and pick up one seashell after the other, off our beach, then drop them back down after they have turned them over and saw the picture or words that Kaleigh and Maddie have drawn on the backs of the shells... Too funny!






I was amazed at how tall Kaleigh has grown...she looks me in the eye now and doesn't appear to be stopping her growth spurt at this height just yet...and Maddie is all legs. Sonia said she came in third at a big track meet up at Uvic today...in the 100 meter dash... Yep, all legs!
Ok...bedtime now...
and ps... I stopped in to see Joyce on the way home from Victoria and she is doing absolutely marvelous!
