M.O.T.B. and Oak Bay High

Neighbour Wendy across the street was M.O.T.B.  aka Mother of the Bride.  Janet thinks sometimes being the person who gave birth to the bride is way harder than being the bride.  Wendy spent hour upon hour in her yard making it perfect.  Personally, Janet is of the opinion that Wendy's yard is pretty much perfect on any given day, but we digress!

Deer proof netting on top of the pots.

Along the path leading into the back of the yard:

For 24 hours there was a large truck parked in Wendy's driveway.

It was cloudy all day long, until about an hour before the outdoor ceremony.

Janet knew they were doing the catering, but couldn't figure out why they were there for so long.  Turns out, in the back of the truck is a fully equipped commercial kitchen - two ovens and a large frig, not to mention all kinds of cooking utensils.

Janet had to walk through the flower bed to take this photo, which resulted in soil getting on the sidewalk.  She dutifully came home and went back for the broom to sweep it clean.

Janet took her glass of wine curbside in the afternoon to wait for the bride.  Here she is, as beautiful as could possibly be.

Truth be known, Dana was even more beautiful in person than in a blurry Janet style photo!

After being bride stalker for a day, Janet and Phil went on a tour of the new Oak Bay High.  Oh my!  Janet says had she gone to a school like this, she would be way smarter than she is now!

Janet loves what used to be called Battle Ship Linoleum.

An incredible theatre.  In addition, there is a Teen Centre and after school care, in conjunction with Oak Bay Recreation.

Bye bye chalkboard.

Some walls, like this one can fold up to make a classroom larger or smaller, as needed.

This is a small collection of the pots that held plants that now adorn the school ground.

I want so much to be like this doggie and carry a lunch bag for one of my loved ones.  First on my list is a person who needs a lunch bag.  This calls for Finley to move to Oak Bay, or me to move to Squamish.  Second on my list is to try really hard not to shred the lunch bag to get at the goodies inside, so perhaps I should just do the carrying at the end of the school day!

Janet's work on Mondays usually consists of making and changing signs for the weeks upcoming activities.  Look what her tools were recently!

Who knew Janet was capable of using a staple gun and hammer!!

Another blog post without a single photo of us.  What's going on Janet?
