Thought I’d share a few pictures of our last week spent with Dave’s mom while she was recovering from her hip replacement surgery. It wasn’t really a holiday (especially not for HER!) , but staying at the condo which is a stone’s throw from the water, listening to the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, and looking out at the ocean --- well, I couldn’t complain too much! It was still a getaway of sorts. And we were glad to be able to help out where we could. By the end of the week, Mom was doing a lot better.
Smoke for the BC Interior wildfires made its way to the Island. We had a couple of days of very gray, smoky skies.
Aaaah…much better. Most of our days looked like this:
Lots of sail boats…
7 juicy blackberries in the hand are worth more than..
… 1000 not-quite-ripe ones in the bush!
Along the SeaWalk… near the 50th parallel ..
..sits a bench with a special plaque set in the cement. Dave’s dad (at the age of 23) and his new bride came to CR in 1953 to set up the town’s first chiropractic clinic--for all of the town’s 200 or so people! Some were skeptical, but he proved himself over and over, building a very successful and highly respected practice for 44 years.
Strolling along, pushing Mom in the wheelchair. Soon she will be walking it once again!
I never tire of taking pictures of driftwood!
Along with dinner with old friends, enjoying some time with family, and other little excursions here and there, the week flew by. Now it’s back to some sort of routine. Before I know it, it’ll be back to school!! I’m not ready!!!!
Beautiful!
