We hadn't seen my sister Dorothea since Spring of 2019 so we were overdue for a visit.
It was our first trip through the Fraser Canyon since the fires last summer and the November floods cut off all our highway connections. They were busy repairing the flood damage (only a few short waits), but we were more shocked by all the fire damage. A fence has been erected along the highway to prevent viewing of the Lytton fire (the town was destroyed) but what I could see through the cracks was devastating.
We spent a day in Vancouver visiting our friends there, also not seen since Covid. Ken took us on a walk around the neighborhood. We visited Kits beach
and past his favorite giant camelia bush.
The next day we were invited to lunch by our good friends Ann Marie and Andrew. Ann Marie and I were roommates at University and each other's maid/matron of honor and this year is their 40th wedding anniversary!
We got to tour the laneway house they built for their daughter in the back yard (no photo).
So good to se these old friends. Feels like the end of a long winter.
