Not To Be Trusted With Knives

Here and Gone

June 27, 2015 by Beth

So remember that time I told you about how all the houseguests were on their way to my place? Not only did that trip whizz by in the blink of an eye, but it’s been a week since they left and I’m only just now blogging about it!

In no particular order, our adventures included ((“Making a delicious meal on my BBQ” didn’t end up happening and “trying my delicious home-brewed beer” happened for Dr. Dan, but not my sister (my mom and Dan’s student don’t drink beer, so I wasn’t expecting them to).)):

• went to Bowen Island  ((which just so happens to be on my list of 101 things to do)), where we had some amazingly delicious food at the Old Orchard Grill ((Best. French fries. EVER!))
• delicious dinner at Forage– I’ve been there a couple of times before, but omg, is their food ever fantastic. And their wait staff is amazing!
• delicious breakfast at Angelina’s
• went to my hockey game – well, my mom did. My sister was busy at her conference that day.
• went to Daniel’s hockey game
• went to Granville Island, where we did some shopping ((I bought a new dress and got FOUR compliments on it the first day that I wore it!)) and enjoyed some Lee’s Donuts  ((Dan and his student agreed with me that Lee’s Donuts kick the butt of Cartem’s Donuts!)) and some drinks at Liberty Distillery. I also bought myself an herb garden to put on my balcony  ((which just so happens to be on my list of 101 things to do.)) – it contains parsley, sage, chives, marjoram, and peppermint and it only cost $13!
• my sister and Dan got to meet my kitties! My mom had already met them on her last trip, but was happy to see her grandkitties again!

Pursuing my phone, I realized that I was a delinquent in taking photos, so I have no proof that anyone actually visited me. But I did take this photo of me stopped in front of a “no stopping anytime” sign on Bowen Island, in my ongoing project to chronicle people disobeying signs.

So there’s that.
