We have been busy! On October 18th we hopped on a ferry to Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast for two days of the "Art Crawl"...an annual event where artists open their studios to the public. It was a fun, interesting and totally wet weekend. We didn't let the constant downpour stop us...visiting 15 diverse locations in Gibsons and Roberts Creek. On both nights we shared delicious homemade meals at my sister-in-law's home that overlooks Howe Sound and were introduced to Ringo, her new puppy.
On the following Wednesday we hopped on a different ferry to Vancouver Island for a five day visit in Comox with Heather and August. Our son-in-law was in New Hampshire performing in a 25 year reunion gig with his band that was hugely successful.
The weather was undecided on Thursday morning but soon turned to cold sunny days after some strong winds tore most of the leaves from every tree in their yard. We were busy raking on Saturday and woke up to frost on Sunday.

Filberg Park is one of our favorite spots to walk around in Comox. The trees are gorgeous, no dogs are allowed, the grounds are pristine and this time we wandered through Filberg Heritage Lodge. The rooms reflect a time of opulence when the residents shared meals that included many courses served on fine china. Most of the china and glassware on display has been donated and is available for sale. There are even some items left outside the entry that are free to anyone!
It was a great visit that included delicious food, trivia contests and UNO competitions!
