Farrah and Michael

While Farrah Fawcett's death was aniticipated, it still saddened me. Michael Jackson's death, un-nerved me. It saddened me deeply.

Both cultural icons.

I hope they are both able to rest in peace.

Sending warm thoughts to the children of both.

Tough kitten!

Dogs and Flowers

2 of my favorite things!

I need some help, the following 3 flowers/trees are nameless to me. Anyone know? They are growing at a rest stop that has an excellent river walk alongside it I try to get to at least once a week. Funny, I never noticed this tree and this flower before!


And here's the tree/s this absolutely lovely smelling flower grows on...



Aren't these flowers beautiful!! By the side of the road...



My backyard flowers- Delphinium



Chive flower


Sage flower


Dahlia. It's a pity the flowers only stay for a week or so, it's a very eye catching flower.


Fargo caught laying on the couch....teaching my dogs bad lessons. But she is very comfy!


Watcher


Ticket is looking worried because the love of her life Watcher, has moved out of eye view.

Fargo's Big Adventure

And my ugh day in the concrete jungle of Vancouver.

A couple of weeks ago I drove to Horseshoe Bay , a couple hours away, to pick up my sister Jamie and her sweet pea Fargo. Fargo will be staying with me and my 3 amigos for a couple weeks! She's a wonderful house guest, and we are all enamored with her. She's a sweet sweet girl, how could we not!

Ticket came with me to pick up Jamie and Fargo. All 3 get one on one time with me, and it was her turn. She raced to the van, leapt in...and wondered where the fuck her big brothers were! 10 minutes into the trip she laid on the seat and crashed till we got there. It was much too boring without the exuberance of the 2 hooligans.

After scooping up Jamie and "sweet pea" we headed to Kelly and Sumeet's home, chatted for a bit and headed for a quick stroll through Queen Elizabeth Park Stunningly gorgeous! We really should have gone to the flower gardens, but it was great where we walked and parked our arses for a bit.

Does anyone know if this is a Magnolia tree? My gawd, the scent from the flowers was beautiful!


And a flower from it...



A rhubarb patch in the middle of the park!

Then we went to the Oakridge Malls food court. The first place that caught my eye was Kernels. You like Dill Pickle popcorn, they have it! Hot 'n Spicy, they have it! 14 trillion flavors, they have it.


This next photo shows only a teeny weeny fraction of the people that were there. Well over 300 people slurping and noshing and talking. For such small town ladies ( Jamie and I ) the noise was seriously overwhelming. I couldn't wait to leave that mall.


Driving back to Kelly and Sumeets to drop them off I handed Kelly the camera and told him to snap some photos.

This is B.C. Place ...home to the B.C.Lions. ( our football team ) It will also be where the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2010 Olympic Winter games are held.


I was looking at the hordes of people walking and all the cars ( at least 23 trillion cars ) and said, where the hell do all these people live?? Jamie said, on top of each other. She's right...I cringe when I think that I used to be one of these bees. Look at the hives they live in!



Dropped Jamie back off at the Ferry and headed home. Fargo did a lot of sniffing




Hey lady, that's about enough with the photo taking!


Frank's not shy...take MY photo!!!
