Happy 4th of July! I hope you are all out celebrating in fine style - with the best grilling foods, the best beer and the best lounge chair to relax in while you fight Uncle Harry, with his fancy sock/sandal combo, for the last chunk of Jell-O Jigglers. I am off today. I am off for the entire weekend, actually, able to schedule ourselves out for a nice long weekend during this crazy season. But instead of spilling mustard on my shirt we're on a little road trip. A nice bit of time away from all the crazies. Well, I say that with great hope. Let's be honest, like The Friend in Italy I seem to wear just the right perfume to keep a pack-o-nuts following behind me like I am the Pied Piper of Crazy Town. We were actually able to go out for dinner last night - a rare treat. I dined on Panko-crusted halibut while perched at a seaside table. The clouds broke enough to catch a glimpse of the most gorgeous sunset in all of it's splendor - even more gorgeous as the colors filtered through my freshly squeezed lemon drop. There won't be any fireworks where I am at tonight. No, tonight I am starting off My Birthday Month with an adventure Up North. Vancouver BC is a fabulous city and I am here to leave my mark. And because my schedule did not allow it two days ago, I am here to celebrate my personal Freedom (cheesy pun intended) by having dinner with George. He's even promised to sing me a few songs for dessert. I'm such an 80's girl.

Posted by: Old Geezer at July 7, 2008 11:42 AM Yes, we do indeed have a beautiful city, especially pretty when the sun is shining! Lots of great restaurants to choose from too.
