Biopsy, new iPad, street art and a Greek visitor


It was a busy few days this week. The bone marrow biopsy went smoothly enough on a rainy day. I was able to sit with John through the procedure and watch the contortions on the Hematopathologist's face as he put a hole in John's hip.

The next day, on Thursday morning, John discovered that his iPad would not work so we drove over to the Apple store at Guildford Mall to see if they could resolve the problem. After meeting with a "genius" ...she told us that the one year warranty had expired 13 days earlier and she was going to contact Apple about extending the warranty. Then she disappeared! Forty five minutes later, when she had not re-appeared, we had to leave because I had a doctor's appointment. Enroute to the doctor she called to say that we could pick up a new iPad...at no expense. So...after the doctor we returned to the Apple store to receive a new iPad!

Most mornings we enjoy a walk through town, stopping to chat with several locals including Mike, Langley's street artist. He is found in the same location every morning...always working on a new masterpiece.


This is one of his larger pieces.

On Friday morning we drove into Vancouver to meet with Niovi, 
a dear friend from Athens who was visiting with her aunt.



It was wonderful to visit with her and catch up on details of her life in Athens.
