White Rock Beach

The first two pictures were taken at White Rock Beach by a friend of mine.  I thought I would share them.

I love sunset pictures and this one was taken last night at White Rock Beach

Towel Animals

If you've ever cruised, you are familiar with the towel animals that room stewards create and put in your room. We've had them on our bed, in the bathroom and my favorite, hanging from the ceiling with sunglasses on!

Our friends Mike and Liz just got back from a 14 day cruise on the Noordam.  They asked us to go with them but it conflicted with the short cruise I'd already paid for.  We knew a lot of other passengers too.  Thanks to Lori for these pictures I saw on Facebook, this happened on their cruise:

When we had one of these (with sunglasses on) it actually frightened me when I opened the door.  Then we laughed.

Indian Hills are at it again

 

Rest In Peace, Constable Rick O'Brien - wear red today!

Mourners will gather in Langley, B.C., Wednesday for a regimental funeral procession, memorial service and final salute to honour an RCMP officer who was killed in the line of duty last month.

Const. Rick O'Brien was fatally shot while executing a search warrant in Coquitlam on the morning of Sept. 22

Attendance at the funeral service will be limited to family, first responders, officials and invited guests, but members of the public who want to pay their respects are being invited to line the streets and observe the procession to the 2 p.m. service at the Langley Events Centre.

"In lieu of gifts or flowers, individuals are encouraged to wear red on October 4 to recognize and remember Const. Rick O’Brien for his bravery, commitment to public safety, and for making the ultimate sacrifice in service of his community," the B.C. RCMP said in an announcement detailing the memorial plans.

Monday, Monday

 I took this picture on Saturday night in White Rock.  It's such a scenic city.

I hope this isn't salt water!

Oktoberfest 2023

Last year we went to Oktoberfest in White Rock at Uli's and this year Kathy decided to celebrate Don's birthday there.  What a wonderful restaurant, with an incredible view and food and music makes it an awesome night.

Every year Zupan brings his accordion and plays for everyone.  He was born in Germany and is very proud of his heritage.  He's great at yodelling!  

Our waiter and the entertainer Zupan who was forward yodelling

Then he decided to backwards yodel

We ordered Neptune Schnitzel and the red cabbage was the best I've had anywhere!  If you want to hear Zupan play the squeezebox:
