Metchosin friends....






While we were in vic, we went to Rick and Helen's for dinner and an overnight. Rick and Misty on the back porch.













"grandson" Cash was in their charge for the weekend, as Mel and Jake were off in Nova Scotia for a trip.











Helen on the back porch......












The new pond, which Rick build by hand, driving all over Metchosin to find the perfect rocks. Great job!!!!













The big above ground pool with the biggest floatie we had ever seen!!!!













Another shot of the pond..........

















The pool, just up the hill from the back porch......













A lovely sitting place beside the pond......














Cash surveying the neighbourhood......likes to bark his deep bark just to hear it reflected back on the mountains.......










Twilight on the pond.........














and lit up at night........











We had the most amazing roast beef dinner, done on the barby by Rick.......








and great side dishes by Helen. With the kids away, we had the use of their gorgeous suite - a five star night for sure!!!

fun in Victoria







Down to vic for appts. and visits.....stopped by the wonderful courtyard at the main library to listen to an amazing jazz violinist....had lunch with Joanne at the Saigon.....
















Then off to Oak Bay and saw this new butcher shop....yummy delights....











And finally got to see Marion Evamy's (Pupart) new gallery.....very spiff!!!












Fabulous work, great to see Marion again, but just missed seeing the dogs.....:-(











This is the artist who does all the wonderful pupart cards we sell in Puerto Morelos for the animal rescue fund. Marion and Bobb brought back Petita, a 3 legged PM rescue dog, who is happily part of their family now.
