More Victoria photos

What a lovely way to spend a few days off, than a trip to Victoria to see my sweet family for Easter. Last year, I missed my spring trip and was totally family deprived for months until they came for summer. It is tricky ,not seeing them at Christmas anymore, but as our lives change, these things happen. All I can say, is that I am so happy that I went. I got to see the day to day lives of K. and M.. and we had Maddie's birthday party and then we celebrated Easter and Costco...and I had my hair cut by my old hairdresser who has moved her shop out into her home way out in Langford, but still do-able. So, here are a mixed up bunch of photos, in no particular order.. although Maddie's birthday did pretty much come first.. no, it was second.
I met my friend, Francoise and her partner for breakfast early Sunday at a cute little restaurant called Shine. Breakfast was their specialty and on Sunday morning it was jam packed with line ups out the door! The service was fast and the food delicious! That was the first time I met Paul,and he was easy to chat with and it was no wonder that him and Francoise got together...they are a good match! My camera wasn't working at that moment and my pics are on my phone...so I will post those ones, when I get them off my phone...a whole other procedure...

That's me with my eyes closed and my new striped hair and Nonie, always with a big smile to greet you! Nonie and Don came down from Mill Bay to join us for dinner. It had been at least three years since we saw visited. It was fun to catch up on everything and we look forward to seeing them up our way in June when they come for a big Legion get-together in Trail



Maddie and her good friend, Ashley...playing the game of Life at the computer. It was afree game in a box of cereal and it provided hours of entertainment!



SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!!

Looking out from Sonia's doorstep across the cul-de-sac. The trees which were blooming late this year were in their full pink blossoms..a happy scene to greet you in the morning when you walked out the door!

Here's Mr. Spike...he couldn't leave Silky alone, but secretly, I think she liked all the attention!


The trees were all so beautiful in their spring "pinks"



That's my Annette... now she is off in Halifax visiting her new fellow! Woot!- Woot!
