On January 9th, Cec's birthday, Dawn from Lee Valley called to say I could pick it up! My map app told me to take Hwy. 91 and go over the Knight Street bridge and turn left at 63rd Ave. 63rd Avenue was closed for construction. I know this part of Vancouver because I grew up not that far away. I turned at the first light I came to and drove down a street towards Fraser Street. I drove by Walter Moberly School, where my husband went to elementary school when he moved from Kelowna to Vancouver! They have certainly added to it and it is beside a lovely park! He had great memories from that school. It was originally built in 1902.
Dawn at Lee Valley had a nice fellow put the three tiered plant stand in my car. It is very heavy! Cec had a good look at the store and on our way home we went to The River House in Delta for a lovely birthday lunch.
Cheryl loves to garden. She starts all her plants in the house and this unit is just what she needs. She is very happy with it! I gave away all my prizes but kept the cash! Lexie took the teapot, Laurie needed a kettle, Cec got the razor and Dave's first cousin's four year old son got the ride on suitcase. Theo was thrilled! A cheque from Rogers for CAD$ 3,500.00 arrived last week. It's sitting in my travel account waiting for a deposit on a cruise that's calling my name.
