Another great weekend

Bee and Rick, waiting for the ferry

Time marches along and despite a change in the weather, we continue to explore beaches, restaurants, music and recipes. Without a doubt the highlight of the weekend was a visit from my wonderful hubby. We three spent a happy Saturday riding around on the little harbour ferries, having lunch at the Spinnaker and then a long meander around Victoria's inner harbour. It was a feast for the senses - fire-eating buskers, musicians, the smell of caramelized waffles, artists, craftsmen and watchable people everywhere. It's great fun to play tourist in your own town. We capped off the day with dinner at The Roadhouse on West Saanich. If anyone is visiting the area, we're giving two thumbs up to this friendly little pub that just opened in August. The food is delicious and well-priced, and the ambience is inviting. There was even a laid-back band playing Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - how West Coast Mellow is that?


As you might surmise, I continue to feel exceptionally well, a condition I attribute directly to the fine company I am keeping and not at all to the couple of bottles of champs that my sweetheart thoughtfully provided. Treatments begin again early tomorrow morning and I am thrilled to note that, one week from then, I will be doing cartwheels over the finish line. This will change the game plan from one of active participation into a radically different phase, and I have only recently began to feel my way into that landscape. Knowing that I am fully armed with the most invincible support team on the planet gives me indescribable joy and complete confidence to move ahead. I am acutely and profoundly grateful for the strength of these blessings from all of you!
