Good bye party for Sue

The weekend zoomed by with a great deal of fun! Cousin Lynn popped over on Friday and met me after work for a look see at the grand opening of the New Craft Connection...in the old Godrey's store on Baker. The store , of course was completely renovated and now is a beautiful example of what a restoration of Nelson's old heritage building can look like without losing the integrity of the architexcture... In places, the old rock is still exposed on the walls, especially in the gallery downstairs. The space looked terrific with nice white walls integrated with the exposed huge rocks. The art looked great too, and anyone looking for a different "Made in Nelson gift" should check out the new Craft Connection.
Lynn and I had a delicious meal at the Redfish grill to end the night, before heading home.

On Saturday, Lynn helped me with so many cleaning projects, to get ready for the party, that I am dearly greatful to have her in my life. By Saturday night, the hosue was spic and span and we were ready to go to Sharon's for a farewell party for Sue ( the gal in the orange) who is leaving to move to Maine Island , in the gulf islands.
Most of our "Badminton" group were there and the night was a howl as we told stories and teased each other and had loads of laughs. We'll miss Sue in our little group, and I am sure that her neighbours, Deb and Connie, will miss her too.

We are at Sharon's house ( she is n the green on the left) and here we have presented Sue with some parting gifts

This was the creme de la creme... a beuatiful photo by Pat Macloughlin of Kokanee park...which backs onto Sues property.

So today, Sunday, started out beautiful and sunny and has just gone downhill to thunder and a rainstorm. Lynn left to go back home and I will make one more struedal for the party, then try to head outside. I am so disappointed that dispite the new fence, the deer still got into my garden and ate the flower off the iris and devoured at least four or five lillies... breaks my heart.
I will go and put a net over the remainder once again... boo f-hoo.

If you can't view my blog, it is because there is some sort of bug that came last Thursday and I can't get rid of it, just yet. The blog can be viewed by clicking on the Feed burner box that comes in my emails.
