Easter Weekend

Since Pam had Friday off (which makes it Good indeed, in my book, at least), we took a little trip some 25 blocks or so south of us to the VanDusen Botanical Garden, where we met up with Bob, whose comments can be found on this blog, and his postings on Moving to Vancouver. It was a beautiful day, and warm enough to take our jackets off while we all snapped pictures of the surprisingly peaceful refuge in the midst of the city (or at least, one of it’s closer residential areas). By the time we had walked through most of it, I was starving, so we had a big lunch at the Memphis Grill (Pulled-Pork sandwiches, cole slaw, beans and beer - Mmm, Tasty!)
The rest of the weekend was fairly uneventful. We went to one of MJ Ankenman’s Open Houses (a very sophisticated condo that had a nice view, and an even better location: near Smithe and Thurlow, 13th floor). Pam did some shopping and we both did some other errands. As the weekend progressed, the weather got darker, wetter and colder, but those few hours spent in the sunshine on Friday made all of the difference.
In the meantime, we were cheered that the Canucks clinched their division by beating the San Jose Sharks, so they’ll be in the playoffs. Is it possible to imagine a Stanley Cup in this city again? And not a replica either, which their web site shows you how to make…
