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 included1:

• went to Bowen Island 2, where we had some amazingly delicious food at the Old Orchard Grill3
• 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 shopping4 and enjoyed some Lee’s Donuts 5 and some drinks at Liberty Distillery. I also bought myself an herb garden to put on my balcony 6 – 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.

1. “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). [↩]
2. which just so happens to be on my list of 101 things to do [↩]
3. Best. French fries. EVER! [↩]
4. I bought a new dress and got FOUR compliments on it the first day that I wore it! [↩]
5. Dan and his student agreed with me that Lee’s Donuts kick the butt of Cartem’s Donuts! [↩]
6. which just so happens to be on my list of 101 things to do. [↩]
