I continued walking and snapping photos for most of the entire time we were on Gibson’s. I also stopped into a few of the stores where had lunch in one place and dessert in another place. A couple of times, I thought about buying something to take home – but then thinking about the bus… Continue reading A Trip to Gibson’s – Sunshine Coast – part 2

The Seniors’ Resource Society in Chilliwack has a great variety of trips for local seniors to take at a reasonable cost. I have mentioned some of the trips before, but really have to thank the resource society for making these arrangements for us to enjoy. Since I am fairly new to the area, I am… Continue reading A Trip to Gibsons – Sunshine Coast

It has been just over a year since I packed my belongings and headed west to British Columbia. I have settled in at Chilliwack and am loving every minute. There is so much that is available to seniors – some is completely free and others have fees involved (but not high fees – just enough… Continue reading Sucia Island Picnic Cruise

Daisy

I mentioned in my last post that I had taken more photos of Daisy. For some reason, I had’t been able to transfer the photos to my pc and I don’t have Word Press on my phone. My fingers are too big to post anything to Word Press from my phone anyway. So – I… Continue reading Daisy

A Weekend with Daisy

I’m sure by now that everyone knows how much I love critters (of any kind). So, I am thrilled when someone asks me to look after their critters. Daisy’s family was going to be away from early Friday morning until mid afternoon on Monday and since she couldn’t stay alone, I was asked to come… Continue reading A Weekend with Daisy

A Day Without Hydro

Posted in Activities, apartment, balcony, British Columbia, canada, Chilliwack, life, pictures, walking, weather, work5 Comments

We had received notice that hydro (electricity) would be off between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm yesterday. We were told to unplug most of the items to avoid a surge when power was restored, so I disconnected the tv, the computer/printer and my coffee maker. There was no mention of the fridge and oven, and… Continue reading A Day Without Hydro

A Little Walk

This morning I had an appointment at my bank (or I thought I did – but more on that later). My car is on vacation in another city, so I got up nice & early to have enough time to walk there. I have walked this distance a few times since I moved here about… Continue reading A Little Walk

Greater Vancouver Zoo

I had to head for the Vancouver area this morning and decided to leave a bit earlier than required, so I could stop in at the Zoo. Looking back at my posts, it seems my last visit there was in March. The last time I was there, the birds were still under lock-down due to… Continue reading Greater Vancouver Zoo

I Am BACK

After downloading and trying several different photo apps, and having trouble with the new learning curves, I was almost at the giving up point. But a couple of days ago, I saw a link to download my trusty old and no longer available photo app – Microsoft Photo Gallery. I clicked on that link and… Continue reading I Am BACK

A Walk Around Sardis Pond in Sardis Park

The pond in Sardis Park is actually quite small, but it certainly attracts the birds and critters to it. Usually I take about 3 walks around the pond. Mom Mallard Duck with plenty of ducklings and a zoomed in photo to get a closer look.
