Happy Monday

Last night we were meeting Janice and Jim at Donna's and going to a great local restaurant in Donna's neighbourhood for dinner.  We left Surrey early so I could talk to Donna about her upcoming trip to Scotland.  However, Highway 99 came to a grinding halt before the Oak Street Bridge!   We were only delayed about twenty minutes, and that made us five minutes late.  When we arrived, Janice and Jim hadn't arrived.  They were stuck in their apartment parking garage as the gate wouldn't open.

Change of plans, Donna packed up her lovely dessert and we drove to Janice and Jim's at UBC.  We went to the University Golf Club for a lovely dinner.  After dinner we went back to Janice and Jim's apartment for fresh peaches and home made brownies!   I don't normally eat dessert, but this was too good to pass up.  Donna is a fabulous baker and the brownies were cut in small pieces and delicious!

Jim had Prime Rib!

Donna and I had chili

Janice and Jim live at UBC in a penthouse apartment.
The view is amazing!

I can't stop looking at the water, mountains and planes leaving YVR!
