Our trip to Vancouver

We are HOME. It always feels good to get home after a trip. We went out to Vancouver on Sunday. The flight was a good one and Melanie was in Vancouver to meet us at the plane. She took us to the Park Inn on Broadway where we had reservations and we have stayed there before a couple of times. It was a good relaxing time. We both needed some good R & R and we did just that.

Last night Jules had a barbecue for all of us and he cooked salmon steaks for us. It was very good. Different friends brought salads to share. The whole family were there to support Jules in this 3rd year cake at his AA meeting. We are so very proud of him for keeping his committments to his dreams. I gave him the cutest card that had music in it and it played the tune, "Don't worry--Be Happy!!"

Jules and Mel gave Ardell a lovely painting of wolves howling at the moon. It is very nice. Now we will get a frame for it and get it hung up somewhere. Mel came yesterday morning and took me shopping to a jean store that was supposed to have jeans up to size 60, but when we got there all she had was up to size 26. So I didn't buy anything and went back to the hotel to read my book and rest and rest we did. Then this morning we got up and waited for Mel to come and take us to the airport. She came about 1 pm and took us to the airport. We had lots of time as our flight wasn't until 5 pm, but we did some shopping in the airport. Ardell bought some salmon and I bought Rogers' Chocolates. Then we went through security and had lunch on the other side while we waited for the flight.

It was a good time but we are glad to be home. Now I am looking forward to the family reunion next weekend.

Love
Shirley
