Thanks to Lee for this lovely place to stay today.

Abby and I arrived at about 1 pm, and after a nice nap, we drove to the Urban Forest and walked a big loop trail. Also found a place to buy orchids – and they are so beautiful. It occurs to me that I truly adore orchids and should have half a dozen plants in my house.

And why do I not?

I don’t hesitate to buy them for someone else. But for me?

I wonder how many of us don’t buy ourselves presents.

And I love gifting people I care about.

Of course, I have to remember that I do buy socks, sooooooo…..

The fun begins soon. By “fun” I mean trying to find my way from here to somewhere in Burnaby.

Giving myself extra time just in case…..
