Sun Showers

We've had our Internet down for two days now. I had to make a couple more calls to the service center and it finally got working again tonite (Sun).  It had 'nothing' to do with my calls I am sure but at least we feel like we were doing 'something'.

I guess it didn't really matter that we weren't connected as we are on holidays and we still did the same things we would do even if we were online but... it's the principle!

Today we went on a long walk (what else is new)? They were doing a 10 km ladies race in the Park and all the traffic was backed up for blocks. They had reduced it to one lane - going one way too. It didn't take long to backup. It had rained again. It was nice when we went out but it started to rain and then got sunny and then sun showers and so on it went all day. Still, it was beautiful. Take a look at this great picture of God's promise!

 It was beautiful. Both the one over the ocean and the one from our window over the North Mountains.  The showers came off and on all day long.

We spent a few hours at our pool today. Started talking again to a couple we met last week and it turns out they lived in Tipaskan about 18 years ago. They also know about Shepherd's Care as her father was in the Nursing Home there. It's amazing how much in common you can have with people you don't even know - if you take the time to find out about them.

Tonite we went to the Hula Grill. It was very good. We got to sit right by the open window to view the sunset. Our food was excellent too. John had ribs and I had the Seafood Chowder.

Ribs....mmmmm

Seafood Chowder...mmmmmm
No room for dessert - oh...I could have made room but I forgot the coupon for the free dessert. It was $7.00 so I passed. I was full but you know me...there's always room for a little sweet.

The clouds in the sky are beautiful tonite. So many big ones. Thankfully there is no more rain (for now). It is supposed to be clear for the next few days. That's good. It feels great right now.

We are relaxing tonite. We aren't heading down to the strip. We'll save it for tomorrow night. Lots of music from the hotel across from us and even in the hotel tonite it was pretty loud. Glad we were on the far side. As it was, it was hard to talk to each other with all the noise - oops I mean music!! Seems like I am showing my age. Occasionally I was tapping to the music - something I knew - but mostly, it was hard to hear!

Well, guess I will go and cut up some pineapple. It is so sweet! Aloha!

I am so impressed that you thought to take photos of your meals. I'm going to start doing that when I am on holidays. It perhaps says too much about me when I say that often it is a restaurant and a particular meal that stands out for me when I have been on a trip!
I love your photo of the rainbow. Are you taking photos from a new camera or from the one you showed me when you were at my place?
