Our trip to Vancouver Island was extra special because we got to see some very dear friends in a very short time. After spending an evening with Glenn and Jodi and a leisurely morning, we headed south down the Island and stopped in Cobble Hill for lunch with Julia, Klaus and Corinna. Lovely! And we get to see them on Ruxton next weekend where they visit us annually (3rd year). Onto Victoria and a great evening with Phil. Went to Bubby's Cafe for dinner. Yummy and excellent value. Serendipitous was our good timing. Phil was house sitting on Beach Drive in Oak Bay. Beautiful old heritage home and right on the water. We were able to make ourselves at home for our two night stay. We spent the next morning with Phil, sipping tea and watching the Tour de Victoria pass by with me cheering the riders on between tea refills. And best of all, the sun is out.
Cheering on the riders.
We drove out to Saanich to visit Clair and Gord. Since their move to Vancouver Island, their visits to Keats have been few and far between and I have dearly missed them. We finally got a tour of their mini estate. Gorgeous home - complete with pool, hot tub, vineyard, fruit grove, and gardens. A beer and Gord's homemade quacamole on the patio in sunshine. Yummm.

On the way home to the House in Oak Bay, we had a late cocktail with my art buddy and good friend, Mary and her husband Don. They are always so welcoming and such a treat to spend time with, abate such a short visit.
Back for more visiting with Phil and a late dinner.
