Russell, the Ducks, and Thunderbird Lake

The Delights of Dog Sitting

We're enjoying the company of Russell, the personable whoodle whose family is traveling here and there for a couple of weeks.

If it weren't for Russell, we wouldn't have been standing in our back yard at 5:30 a.m., taking in the beautiful morning.

If it weren't for Russell's intense stare upward, we wouldn't have noticed the Great Blue Heron perched in our tree.

A nice start to the day...

Vancouver: Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant

Friends invited us for dinner here. Two are from Hong Kong.

We (They) ordered well in Cantonese and we enjoyed one of the best Chinese dinners we've ever experienced.

A great evening!
