We have had a number of open houses and showings this week of our house, and we take the cats with us in the car when they are happening.....I am sure Dax is saying to Sitges ..."geez, I wish someone would just buy the place and we could settle into our new home....."
Chiik runs around the car, out on the roof, and goes for walks in the woods on his harness during our house showings.
Dear friends Elna and Pearl came up for a couple of nights of camping, and spent Thursday night at our place for dinner and a nice visit.
It was another lovely warm evening, so we ate in the gazebo.............
Pearl pulled out her ukelele and seranaded us with some tunes...!
She is doing really well on her uke - we all enjoyed the music.
Elna and Miki enjoying the songs......
Then on Saturday night, Quality Foods (a local grocer) celebrated 30 years in Parksville by putting on the Celebration of Light - a fireworks display on our main beach. Elna, Pearl, Maggie and Ingrid joined us for the fun.
Wouldn't you know, it was a cloudy evening, but still clear enough to have a great view of the water.....
The big barge offshore where the fireworks originated. The whole show was done to 1950s music - Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, etc. - and was perfectly coordinated with the fireworks.
By the time the fireworks was ready to begin, everyone had piled on fleeces and blankets to keep warm. Of course, hot chocolate, cookies, and cherries helped keep everyone cozy. Michele arrived with her kids, Steph and Rob and his partner Tonga, just in time to see the show. Then we went back to Ingrid and Maggie's for a glass of wine - a perfect end to a lovely evening.
