25th birthday at the Lift

It was a beautiful night to sit right on Coal Harbour and watch the rowers on the water. This is a fantastic restaurant!!! Afterwards we walked up to another pub on the water called Carderos and had drinks there while listening to a fantastic guitar player.
Mom: you probably can't see but I'm wearing the earrings you sent me and your pearls!!

a job interview

yes, that's right, crystal has a job interview on friday!

progress is imminent

a birthday

another birthday has come and gone... my first quarter-century is officially over.

nostalgic: no... pressured: yes.

tomorrow's my graduation... can i pretend that i don't have to start my own life?

a patio garden

so Bonnie has been very diligent in her pursuit of fresh vegetables on her Balcony so I thought I would show you how fantastically they are coming along. above is her lettuce with parsely on the left and green onions on the right. these were all planted two weeks ago and the lettuce is already 3 inches high and the green onion sprouts are probably about 5 inches... mind you, the pigeons got quite a few of those seeds.

pigeons also like Bonnie's pepper plant but it is about to blossom. the dill is doing fantastically well! Bonnie already cut it right back once. our summer menu is going to consist of a lot of fish.

this is the ginormous tomato plant! the thing never stops growing and I think we have about 8 sets of buds right now.

and five mini tomatoes!!!!

saturday trip to granville island and off to indian arm

friday trip to bowen island

friday night steve-o took us out on the maiden voyage of his boat for this year. it was a pretty exciting trip for my first time. this is a shot of how busy english bay was on friday afternoon...

from english bay you can see bonnie's apartment building. it's the building on the right about halfway down... yup, that where's she lives... facing the ocean.

over at bowen island there is a really cool little tree at the base of the inlet.

here is steve-o and bonnie on the public dock at bowen island after dinner. we then proceeded out to go home and ran out of gas... figures that the gas gage was broken. we were saved by a tugboat and took two hours going slowly home in the dark. haha... quite an adventure for a friday night.
