The End of Summer

Yesterday we were on our way to the cottage heading up Hwy 1 through the Canyon. It's beautiful drive and we love it. We had gotten past Hope and through the first couple of tunnels, the traffic slowed down to a stop. Cars coming towards us were telling people to turn around, there was a bad accident and it'd be at least 4 hours before the road would re-open. We turned around and when we got back to Hope the line-up to use the Coq was bumper to bumper so we came home.

We were able to attend the Retirement/Birthday party of our friend S. so that was nice. We had felt bad that we weren't going because of it being on the long weekend so went and had a nice time and got to meet some of her friends and spend time with them.

Today we went to church and it was nice to be back after missing most of the summer services.


After wards we went for lunch and then to the beach. Gotta love the beach on a summer's day.


Lots of people were enjoying the day as well. We've had such lousy weather this summer it was nice to have a clear sunny day for a change.


We had just finished our ice cream when I saw my former landlords from Abbotsford out with their kids. It was great to see them again. We had enjoyed sharing a home together for about 2 and a half years and I hadn't seen them since I moved back to Surrey in 2004.

I'm off until Wednesday so I can spend some time with my cousins from Holland. Then back to DART'n................peace out.
