Critical Care Corner

Our Grandpa -

Enjoying the sun.

caught a cold while he was visiting us in Victoria.  In turn, Phil also caught a cold.  He set up his little "Critical Care Corner".  Much to Janet's chagrin, this little setup was there for several days.

What else could a guy need - cough syrup, three kinds of cough drops, water, tissue and two remote controls.  This Care Corner lasted much longer than Phil's cold did.

At Janet's work, there are many programs that people can participate in.  One of them is Reiki, which Janet doesn't know a whole lot about except that it's a type of Japanese healing with hands.  The Reiki practitioner is Karen and she is the full meal deal - lives in the country with a huge garden, makes her own soaps and lotions and has a pet rooster!  Check him out - he is so cute!

Speaking of huge gardens, here is the first of Janet's bounty.  Sadly, there are only two zucchini and while there have been many blossoms, there doesn't seem to be any more coming.

Pesto - coming right up!

This desk was on the streetside, just around the corner from us.  I begged and whined and cried for Janet to bring it home for me as my real name is Emma.  It was pointless - she wouldn't budge!

Janet started to make a new quilt top.  She spread all the pieces out on the floor and I thought I would give them the Pashy stamp of approval.

Before

After.

She decided the blue didn't work, so purchased some different fabric and then put it together.  I tested it again!

I don't believe Janet has any clue how much I do for her!

Back in the olden days (likely before I was born!)  legend has it that Noodles and Rockers could climb up the bottom part of this tree in Uplands Park.  Do you think it's true?

Janet "claims" they could get to the part where the limbs start to come out.  Personally, I don't believe it and will not make a fool of myself trying to live in their so called glory days!

Look at this cute sign on a store downtown - an old suitcase!

 When Meg and Derek and Mr. Baby were here, they went to Pizzeria Prima Strada for lunch - more than once!  When the server put the big wine bottle that is now a water vessel on the table, Mr. Baby said "Mommy's beer!"  Meg was quick to remind him that what happens at home, stays at home!

That's it - I'm bushed.  Later, skater!
